Wait, so this means that previous spotlight items can return?

I suppose popularity really does pay off.

Active Camisole post

The prizes were the same for all the CBT rounds in JP: New Rappy accessory and Stamp.

The only thing you'll actually miss is the play money for the Scratches.

Theoretically, if the models aren't a problem, an AI should be able to assist the graphic designers.

But for PSO or PSO2 to be on the same level as NGS, that takes serious development on the back end which the NGS developers don't have the focus on.

Well, I did see that Nexon intended to invest in SEGA.

For those unaware, Nexon KR has a computer museum and develops computer chips on the side.

To cut the relationship short, Nexon and SEGA are fairly close in the goal of maintaining ten year old games in order to appease investors.

I'm not sure how a KR and JP development team would work out in terms of fleshing out the old mechanics and models into PSO2 as something beyond the current LQ and the way CQ works.

In the worst case, they'd have to restructure everything from the story recap to the continuation.

(SEGA has it's own Multiverse at this point, tbh.)

Long story short, it's not possible in 2021's technological scope for PSO to be imported into PSO2 on a complete scale.

@Chantro tiny village

The point of the hub is to access features that aren't accessible elsewhere, such as shops, class counters and such. A huge city would get in the way of accessibility, no one wants to travel huge distances to access frequently used key features.

Also gotta take into consideration the technical cost of having a huge city, an online RPG like this is supposed to be accessible across a wide range of PCs, so they can't do hub cities that are too complex technically, especially when taking into consideration the lack of loading screens.

This is also the CBT release.

Large cities with latency and far apart vendors would only make bug testing a nightmare.

It's been discovered that there will be multiples cities.

Since you will need a certain number of gear points in order to reach UQ zones, it's entirely possible that the same could be said of new city zones as they release.

Splurged on La Belle Mehl weapon camo to transmute for more Phasion style.

The wheelception of Hyper Night was bothering me a bit.

Also updated the Friend Avatar after weeks of laziness.

Glad to finally have a stylish perfume bottle on sheathe that allows continued showing off my character's butt.

Just noticed that the wing accessory bumped up a layer. But since it's during combat, it's not a big deal in terms of cosmetics.

Jinbebaoli doesn't appear to be an IRL fashion.

There is, however, Jinbei: a One Piece character who wears his kimono in a similar style known as Jinbei.

Described by Idaseni Ltd., the Jinbei is a Summer Only style of kimono typically used for casual and festival wear.

There is also Jinbaoli Trail, a hiking area in New Taipei City, Taiwan.

So for all intents and purposes, Jinbebaoli isn't a real word, but an amalgamation.

There's your fun fact of this day's rotation.

For whomever it may concern:

With regards to the Beast Race, a Reddit post from a five year old thread mentions that the idea was smacked down by the developers.

Considering that the Beast Face is a Fresh Finds item in PSO2, it's safe to presume that NGS will have a Beast Face [N] version.

Due to the change in mechanics between Phantasy Star series games from differing platforms, various race models may have to be scrapped and implemented as simple cosmetic appearances. Especially within the NGS low polygon models.

(NGS new model mechanics- the finger movements, explains as to why "Gender" and Race were removed as a formal concept.)

Henceforth while continued from PSO2 as a cosmetic standpoint, you may still declare your character to be of the Beast Race.

While there is no ARKS ID section telling you to conform to or customize a race/gender selection,

there's yet to be an official translated preview of the Character-> Status menu where that information currently is located.

PSO2 in it's base version is currently planned to continue running with various updates, but there remains a silence and possible NDA as to the method of PSO2 original's continuation after 10 years of technological advances have been made post NGS release. (2030-2040)

The developers have not yet stated any plans to improve or remove pixilation of PSO2 item textures.

Nor have they stated any intentions to remove or replace original models after software becomes too advanced for amicable appearance.

That is to say, NGS model items will be in continued demand. Please remember to plan your expenditures at a responsible rate.

If you remain concerned about the future of base PSO2, please don't fret.

Currently, there is AI out there in the world that was developed for improving anime in areas where redraws or improvement would otherwise force artists to completely redraw every episode to meet modern aspect ratio and 4k imaging.

SEGA has developed the Hedgehog Engine in the past.

It's no small stretch to say that a SEGA patented image processing AI could be in development at any moment between 2021 and 2040.

PSO2 remains in the hands of SEGA's investors, and SEGA has yet to disappoint Global players in terms of maintaining Phantasy Star nostalgia.

This means that there is still hope for original items and area textures to be brought to the same scale as NGS detail.

Maido Month!

It's interesting how I joked about "wait until summer for swimwear" or "wait until Halloween for the CAST parts," only for those items to show up this month and quite recently.

Maid headbands and CAST parts... my NGS Accessory Cost is going to hit the cap quite quickly.

Not that we'll know for certain how Global's graphical performance may affect the finalized engine update.

The current pandemic market may lose quite a bit of users due to scalper prices.

Hopefully NGS will be finalized with graphical standards to the point it could be considered an "Optional Free Download Package."

Or however SEGA's tech department may market it for Global beyond the scope of an expansion.

(In other words, dinosaurs can still play base PSO2, but users would not have access to the NGS lobby. NGS outfits might show up differently as well- such as the PSO2 loading model.)
