We don't currently know what all the mission pass is used for, but assuming premium is the same as it is with the Japanese release, it entitles you to (shamefully paraphrased from Bumped):

Two different "my room" layouts. You have a mini room by default, but can expand it and have two different layouts.

It enables item trading between characters. You can privately trade items with other premium players.

You earn twice as many FUN points and login stamps.

Access to both premium and team storage. If you have items in premium storage and your subscription runs out, your items will remain in storage until removed. You cannot, however, add any more items to premium storage without having an active subscription.

Gives you access to player shops, allowing you to sell items you don't want or need to other players. You do not need premium to purchase items off of the player shop. It is only required for selling.

Access to premium-only blocks. This means even if your ship is congested, you should be able to access blocks reserved for premium players at peak times.

You can have up to 40 active missions (client orders) instead of 20.

You have access to premium-only drinks from the drink vendor. Drinks give you mission-long buff(s).

You can save up to 40 symbol arts instead of the max default of 10.

You get three more crafting lines for a total of six instead of three. I am not familiar enough with crafting to be able to give you more specifics.

You can accept two more collection files. Collection files are used to work towards powerful gear drops over time.

Does the Founders Edition come with everything that's in the Ragol Edition?

The FOunders Edition comes with a lot more. The Ragol Edition only has 2 differences: It has a lot less things included and it is have more Ragol Memories than the Founders Edition.

Thanks, but yeah I realize Founders has a lot more stuff. What I'm unsure of is... Does the Founders Edition come with everything that's in the Ragol Edition or is the Ragol content found ONLY in the Ragol Edition?

The Sonic/Founder's Edition comes with M/F Sonic Suits, Sonic and Tails emotes, Sonic hands weapon camo, a Sonic mask accessory, 5 Ragol Memory (can be redeemed for PSO-related goods like music discs, posters, accessories, etc.), 5 10-slot inventory expansions, 30 days of Premium, gold Mission Pass ticket (we currently do not know what this is), a beauty salon pass, 5 50-slot character storage expansions, 15 +150% EXP boosts, 10 +125% tri-boosts (experience, meseta, and rare drop rate), 500 grinders, 12 AC scratch tickets, and 99 enhancement aid +50% items.

The Ragol Edition comes with 10 Ragol Memory instead of 5, 30 days of Premium, gold Mission Pass ticket, and 12 AC scratch tickets.

You do not get storage or inventory expansions, any of the cosmetics/emotes, the beauty salon pass, tri/exp boosts, grinders, or grinding aids. You do, however, get 5 more Ragol Memory to exchange for PSO-related goods. In my opinion, both packs are pretty good deals. If you aren't interested in the Sonic stuff, you shouldn't feel pressured to get it because you can get the quality of life features like inventory/character expansions piecemeal.

For what it's worth, I have several hundred hours on JP servers and did not feel pressured to buy anything. When the PSO2 Twitter account says "play to win," that's exactly what they mean. I never felt held back by not having premium and some premium features, like the player store or bigger rooms, were occasionally available to free players as FUN scratch rewards.

Sorry, I don't have an Xbox One, so I couldn't get it, so it's true for me.

I was just being pedantic, no need to apologize. It is technically there, but if I search for it, I get the same free EQ schedule app suggestion that you posted.

@coldreactive said in Microsoft Store PSO2 Page Has Been Updated:

I would like to point out that, despite this being the "Microsoft Store," this isn't in the "Microsoft Store" for Windows 10, for obvious reasons:

And hasn't been, even during the Closed Beta.

Not entirely true. If you're logged into the same Microsoft account you used to download/play the CBT, it shows up on the PC Windows Store. It has been showing up for me in the desktop store since starting the CBT download, but the only way to get there is to go to "My Library." Shows purchased 02/03/2020. It does say "'See Available On' below for devices this product runs on. It won't run on this one," which will very likely be the case until PC is added to the mix before too much longer.

There are actually six reviews on the PC listing of PSO2 already, so at least six other people have been here too!
