To PS4 players; I highly recommend this channel for your pso2 NGS content, believe me, it’s by far the most comprehensive, informative and insightful there is.
Awesome that means I actually got lucky and found a really good Channel on my first try I am looking forward to this community because not only you but several other comments seem so welcoming to the PS4 users that it's shocking usually we get hated on cuz we are console players
Real talk it's so exciting to see new players! This game goes through some insane player droughts so I love seeing new faces that want to enjoy the game. Is there anything better than a new MMO experience?!
PSO2 is by far the most wholesome community ive ever came across in every mmo ive played. It's so unique that even the game itself doesn't really great so i'm on a break from the game rn, the community keep giving reason to comeback once in awhile after each update. Normally if i quit an MMO, i quit for good. This is the only exception.
Also be sure to create 2 more characters even if you plan to only use 1. That way when Sega releases big updates you get skill reset passes for all 3 characters.
I had no idea about the Rooms thing. I always thought I was playing at a time no one in my Ship was around the same area as me. This is going to make grinding for levels so much better now, thanks for the video!
to all ps4 players and anyone else who's starting the game for the first time, there's also the original pso2 game within pso2 ngs, which has over 8 years worth of content that was developed! to access it, you have to complete the prologue in ngs first. then once you've done that, head to the ryuker device (the green teleporters) and go into "change blocks". and from there, pick the one that says "transfer to pso2 blocks" and that'll take you to the base game. alternatively, you can select it from the character menu once you complete the ngs prologue, so you don't have to open ngs first to transfer to base pso2 just as a reminder that all of your gear from ngs will not be usable in base pso2, as your character progression between ngs & base pso2 are separate, outside of cosmetics. so keep that in mind if you plan on playing the base game but yea, i highly recommend giving base pso2 a try during your downtime with ngs, since it's a pretty fun game with a lot of complex, but rewarding gameplay as you progress further into it
@@littlewitchling535 technically yes if you mean without having to pay irl money. one way is to use in-game money to purchase pso2 classic outfits from the player shop, which you can get a lot of in-game money if you're lv. 85 for main & sub class, and do the cradle of darkness urgent quest/trigger on ultra hard strat (i would look up a video on youtube for that, since it's better to see for yourself on how it works) another technically free way to get base pso2 outfits is through star gems (sg for short), which you earn as you play the game on both pso2 & ngs, and scratching on the sg rewind scratch within base pso2. what you get from any scratch is completely random, however. so you may not get what you want from it btw, i wouldn't really recommend spending all your sg on it, since there's other things that are worthwhile to use sg for, like the 90 day rental (or 30 day if you don't plan on playing heavily months down the road) for material storage as an example (which i HIGHLY recommend getting, since you get so many material drops in pso2 & ngs that'll fill up your storage fast) other than those two ways, there isn't any other way to get pso2 classic outfits for free. so you'll have to rely on those two methods only the only free outfits you can get without having to spend in-game money or sg are from ngs, via mission pass (if you pay 100 sg per season to unlock the gold version) & unlock the tiers as you complete your dailies & weeklies, and doing the free daily sg scratch pull, which is random on what you get from it so long reading aside, i hope this answer helps!
I just started playing thanks for braking it down for starters player's. You gave a lot of helpful tips. Im glad i look you up. Before i got into it. Im already hook on the game. But you just safed me hours of trying to figure this game out. Thank you! Im going to check out more of your videos.
Recently got a series x in April. I have found most of this information out over time based on fiddling around with various things to do. I heard about the ps4 release after I started playing on xbox. Been a ps5 owner since launch but really wanted an mmo for my buds and I to play on consoles together and this one fit the bill. I do wish I looked into videos like this when I started playing. Trying to share information and explain how to do various things with my friends has been fun and it definitely helps to have outside viewpoints for a game like this. Once a friend told me about the personal shop and how to buy higher level weapons for relatively cheap was a lifesaver. You can even buy +40 and even +50 weapons for not outrageous amounts of meseta that are already fully augmented from more experienced players. This helps save time significantly when building up newer, less experienced classes.
Playstation player here, I just downloaded the game and intend to play after work. I'm so glad I found your channel your videos are informative and precise
Honestly thank you so much, I’m on PS4 and I just got into the game and I didn’t know how to change my user name for the longest time (about 3 days now) this makes my life so much easier.
Nice. I was 15 hrs in and still I learned several helpful things in your video. Thanks. I've loved the series since dreamcast but really played GameCube version more online.
@@Thriftshoppin oh man I'm having a blast but it's not as multiplayer focused or driven as older series but I hope that changes down the road when I'm leveled up. I'm lvl 19 gunner lvl 15 sub hunter and play it regular so we will see.
The upgrade system leaves a lot to be desired! Its pretty overwhelming at first. Just understand youll be swapping lots of gear early on so dont enhance everything. If you need and help pop into my discord link is in the vid
6:54 Sadly, there's not enough buttons on CONTROLLER for a dedicated WA. It's set to the weapon palette by default and is generally the go-to for pad players.
For new players that is worried whatever this game is p2w or not. Let just say I just do Weekly mission, 30 min a day and still not farming for the current META weapon and able to clear most of the contents just fine up unless it the challenge mission where we need "more skill". I can still handle all the boss this game offer with ease aside from of course those "GIGANTIX" a special version of boss that is for 32 players to beat and could one shot everyone. the money I spent is totally on Fashion. or in case the weapon didn't drop for you, you can check the item in player shop. the cheapest one is like 1k-10k which is just dirt cheap unless you aim for stronger expensive one which I'm not really recommend. Currently the game is holding season event where we collect point and buy the item from season store that you need to check it out as It has both weapon and gears that is strong enough for the current casual contents.
something to note before starting PSO2/NGS. SEGA hates color changing. Majority of outfits/costumes can't be dyed. It's a simple texture change you can map on its own channel, not some kind of game breaking feature that overloads the server. Yes I know some outfits are from copyrighted characters and thus com in their original colors and sometimes have variants, but give the players some freedom and let them change the colors of outfits. I'm tired of getting outfits I want and find out I cant dye them.
Pretty much everything in NGS can be recolored, just sections of it stay the same which is the 2/A/B differences sometimes. Old PSO2 was more no dying compared to NGS, we can even change some NGS accessory colors. I play on PC
I haven't start yet just been waiting on my brother but I know this video will help me, so I'm glad that you made this video and thank you so much for our help 🔥
The thing with "primm" gear as material is explain at the beginning in the tutorial. it says that it will save us lot of Grinder because of the huge amonte of xp it gives.
Thank you for this very informative video, the last tip is probably the most important, I was looking for a place to search for information myself. I'm also glad this is a very nice community that isn't disparaging people like me who don't have a pc that can play games or an xbox and were waiting for the PlayStation release.
I honestly wish the Ps4 version was out sooner but hey, im glad its out in the first place! The only unfortunate thing is missing all of the fashion really. However, you can expect "revival" scratches throughout the year that will re-release the previous fashion
I haven't finished the video yet, but make sure not to your name your character something dumb, if I recall correctly it cost FIFTEEN dollars to change your character's name.
Easiest sub of my life, thanks for all of these tips. Making a 15 minute video that's all good info with no filler isn't easy. I've never really been an MMO player because I was never a fan of the combat in them but I've been playing a BUNCH of PSO because I'm actually enjoying it - it's a lot deeper feeling than just spamming skills off cooldown in cycles. It's almost like Monster Hunter. Edit: Oh crap I forgot to ask - is there any way to get the boss camera permanently in combat or something similar? The default camera is so close for no reason but the boss camera is 👌
YUP! I like to compare this game to dark souls with the dodging and monster hunter with the bossing. And yeah.. the cameras suck man. They will ALWAYS change on you.
Hey lads, just about to start the game. Ive looked at a bunch of videos and think i have an idea of most stuff to do early game, and which classes I want to play. The one thing I’m having trouble finding though is: Is it worth following a build for skill points so you’re not wasting points on skills that look good/fun from a newbie’s view, but ultimately aren’t worth it?
Subbed downloading pso2 rn on PlayStation btw guys I come from games like Apex legends warzone and destiny is there like a heavy grind thing in dis game?
TL;DR on Arms Refiners: Used to limit break past level 40. They require: Strugment A,B,C which are droppable in combat sectors EX cubes which are earnable through mission pass and leveling to current max level. Arms Refiners are also droppable on rare occasion in combat sectors and dark falz rank 1 and 2. Basically, you won't be limit breaking your weapon as a new player. There are very few ways to get arms refiners or ex cubes to make arms refiners. So don't stress too much. The best alternative to this as a new player is buying a weapon that is already limit broken in the personal shop. You can search for +50 and +60 enhancement weapons.
I definitely love base game, I just wish they did some semi-frequent events for base pso2. It would definitely be worth it for SEGA to hire an intern to do quality of life stuff
Just saw this game in the "What's hot" section of the PS store. Should I play the first one or, can I just give into it? Am I missing a ton? Just curious. Thanks!
Hello I play since launch on XBOX! the game is amazing on console! enjoy and welcome ps4 players! lets get the blocks packed and full!! come to ship 3 ... =P
Man I really wish I had watched a video like this before playing, I would have had a much simpler time. Great video btw, gonna be watching more videos so I make less mistakes from now on. 😆 I do have one unrelated question and it's about what one of the characters is doing in the background. What idle/emote is bunni cerish doing? It's very good and I hope I can buy it off the personal store.
@@Thriftshoppin aww thankies, they watched a few vids then the 5 of us set off (ship 3) we went through aelio me directing, acting as meat shield an keeping them alive, finished off the day with yellows, almost getting mulled by giga oruq (they were saved by me calling a few of the alliance, which they joined) an finished the day off with petas. all in all a good experience for them, by tomorrow everyone should have all their gear ready to go and have bp to go onto retem.
I was sooooo excited for new genesis but then when it came out I was so disappointed, there was quite literally almost nothing at all to do. Hopefully that’s changed since then.
Im tempted to restart this game because I havent gotten far when I first played the original and even less far when I tried new genesis close to launch, but I just don't know how I would go about that.
Psn players should start og pso first because most ppl not trying to play it because of how different it is from ngs .but its alot of things u can get from og that can be used in ngs
I agree but I wouldnt recommend beginning with it. It's a super tough grind with very difficult systems. Plus its receiving no new content so theres an inevitable wall you will reach. I think its best played during moments when theres little to do in NGS
True true im a old pso player i tend to be on there more tho since iv done what i wanted to do on pso ngs already so i really just be money grinding till next lvl patch release. But the guild im in none of them want to even log into pso classic because they think its not as fun as ngs
Me and my brother are not very happy about the whole "used skill points are permanant" part. In most other MMOs you spend a chunk of non premium currency to respec but here that's not the case.
Just came back from a long hiatus for PS4 launch is there a discord for questions and item trading? (I must have weapon stealthing. It's a moral imperative)
Sadly, we will need to tell SEGA that PS player also need one. It a collab event from "base game" so we might need to wait an see. the next collab that is coming to NGS is Melty Blood and that it
Hey bud! Sorry for the delay. IMO just use what you got. If you can meet some veteran friends the play is to get into a +50 weapon ASAP... regardless of what the weapon is or rarity. Battle power scales off the stats of the weapon and a +50 weapon will beat ANY rarity weapon at +40 while progressing.
You wont! Ask around, get some advice, or just take a stab at it. However, these skill points are permanent and require either a skill pass to reset the points (given out occassionally) or microtransaction purchases. Come join the discord and ask others if you need help! :)
What is batter fighter for main class and bouncer for sub or bouncer main and fighter sub (I just started today) and what is batter the boot? Or the sword from bouncer or fighter duel sword?
Crossover event items from before aren't region locked, are they? Like, remember that Evangelion event? Will I be able to purchase the items from the player store or participate in the event if it ever comes back?
Please someone how in gods name do you play story missions with you're friends every time we are all at the same point in the story the join with group option or look for group option is blanked out why?????
Is there a way to change movements with my character for free? I created a character that hovers when they move, but i dont like how it looks and id like to just make them run... thanks!
Issue a link code on PC, then enter that code on the other device you wish to play (Xbox/PS4). You have 15 minutes to link via the code. You can always reissue one if you need
You can make a separate character and progress on a different ship, but your character cannot swap between ships to play. They should totally make thst a thing. Or juat have one ship.
I'm desperate at this point. I've been searching forever for better equipment, but I got the level 40 weapons from the event going on currently, but I can't find any gear past lvl 40 and I just finished the story tonight. Please, if anyone knows where to go/what to farm to get it I would love you forever.
Is there not event armors you can buy? If not, you can search for 7 star +50 enhanced armors in the personal shop, they shouldnt be that expensive. NGS typically releases armors with full augments during events for new/returning players
Dude missed the warning about the worrying creepy weirdos erp'n just being creeps and how the sexual chat you see puts you off the game completely coz its disturbing
Why would you have different character names in? Why would you have more than one character? I was under the impression that much like a final fantasy you can learn every class you can level up the skills of every class on one character what’s what’s the incentive to make multiple characters.

Fun fact, the PSO franchise was designed for consoles first and foremost! Most of us just like having people to play with, hope you enjoy!

to all ps4 players and anyone else who's starting the game for the first time, there's also the original pso2 game within pso2 ngs, which has over 8 years worth of content that was developed!
to access it, you have to complete the prologue in ngs first. then once you've done that, head to the ryuker device (the green teleporters) and go into "change blocks". and from there, pick the one that says "transfer to pso2 blocks" and that'll take you to the base game. alternatively, you can select it from the character menu once you complete the ngs prologue, so you don't have to open ngs first to transfer to base pso2
just as a reminder that all of your gear from ngs will not be usable in base pso2, as your character progression between ngs & base pso2 are separate, outside of cosmetics. so keep that in mind if you plan on playing the base game
but yea, i highly recommend giving base pso2 a try during your downtime with ngs, since it's a pretty fun game with a lot of complex, but rewarding gameplay as you progress further into it
Are the costumes free in the original PsO2?
Thanks for the info I am currently downloading the game on my PlayStation 4
@@littlewitchling535 technically yes if you mean without having to pay irl money. one way is to use in-game money to purchase pso2 classic outfits from the player shop, which you can get a lot of in-game money if you're lv. 85 for main & sub class, and do the cradle of darkness urgent quest/trigger on ultra hard strat (i would look up a video on youtube for that, since it's better to see for yourself on how it works)
another technically free way to get base pso2 outfits is through star gems (sg for short), which you earn as you play the game on both pso2 & ngs, and scratching on the sg rewind scratch within base pso2. what you get from any scratch is completely random, however. so you may not get what you want from it

I haven't finished the video yet, but make sure not to your name your character something dumb, if I recall correctly it cost FIFTEEN dollars to change your character's name.
I thought it was $5
If you're just starting out , you have 3 free character slots. Making a new character skips the 15 dollar cost completely. Otherwise, yes it's a pain!
To add to this please make your player ID similar to your character name. It helps people remember you.

Thanks Sauce Boss
also...better use +20 gold prim or more if want do enchantment, maybe little bit expensive buy on personal shop
and also try joining alliance or else...if you lucky, they will help you on Trigger Quest
Aboslutely! To follow up on this, the +40 enhanced seasonal weapons make for incredible enhancement fodder for future equips.
@@Thriftshoppin by the way.....are you ready for the update?
I'm not even surprised that it hard to even in game currency lol at this point I'm used to it since every mmorpg be like that with in game money
Subbed downloading pso2 rn on PlayStation btw guys I come from games like Apex legends warzone and destiny is there like a heavy grind thing in dis game?
its an MMO so it has the traditional role-playing grind aspect for sure.
@@Thriftshoppin I'm already occupied by destiny, so heavy grind dread that. Anyways looking forward to your pso2 content for us new players.
Yeah I completely forgot you can get SG for likeing outher people's lookbooks
I sometimes forget this too LMAO. I have to constantly remind myself "have I done all my dailies?"
@@Thriftshoppin I'm actually like this with my weeklys and side missions 🐾😂🐾
Super excited to try this game for the first time! I'd like to ask though, how grindy is this game? Will I have to devote my life to it?
You can grind it to squeeze out damage ceilings but I think the game is best played in short bursts, it's not really that "one game" kind of game.
Not grindy at all. This is a very casual friendly game.
@@Thriftshoppin I'm sure you're joking right?😂
@@gogoawad93 I was thinking the same thing. I guess you could say it's a casual grind. As long as you long on and kill stuff your good.
No casual trash. You don't gotta do much since the game is really lacking in content.
Can you do a video or explain how arm refineries work please I'm so confused and can't limit break my weapon without it
TL;DR on Arms Refiners:
Used to limit break past level 40. They require:
Strugment A,B,C which are droppable in combat sectors
EX cubes which are earnable through mission pass and leveling to current max level.
Arms Refiners are also droppable on rare occasion in combat sectors and dark falz rank 1 and 2.
Basically, you won't be limit breaking your weapon as a new player. There are very few ways to get arms refiners or ex cubes to make arms refiners. So don't stress too much. The best alternative to this as a new player is buying a weapon that is already limit broken in the personal shop. You can search for +50 and +60 enhancement weapons.
Idky but I can't seem to enjoy NGS..but base game I love
I definitely love base game, I just wish they did some semi-frequent events for base pso2. It would definitely be worth it for SEGA to hire an intern to do quality of life stuff
Just saw this game in the "What's hot" section of the PS store. Should I play the first one or, can I just give into it? Am I missing a ton? Just curious. Thanks!
The games have no significance on one another storywise. So IMO play New Genesis and then try the base PSO2 when you are bored
Hello I play since launch on XBOX! the game is amazing on console! enjoy and welcome ps4 players! lets get the blocks packed and full!! come to ship 3 ... =P
Man I really wish I had watched a video like this before playing, I would have had a much simpler time. Great video btw, gonna be watching more videos so I make less mistakes from now on. 😆
I do have one unrelated question and it's about what one of the characters is doing in the background. What idle/emote is bunni cerish doing? It's very good and I hope I can buy it off the personal store.
Is there an npc follower just like in pso2? Or pso2 ngs still no followers or npc?
There are followers once you enter combat sectors. They will help you fight in these areas
recomending thrifty to a few of the pleople i know wantot play on their PS4 and there so excited
ily
@@Thriftshoppin aww thankies, they watched a few vids then the 5 of us set off (ship 3) we went through aelio me directing, acting as meat shield an keeping them alive, finished off the day with yellows, almost getting mulled by giga oruq (they were saved by me calling a few of the alliance, which they joined) an finished the day off with petas. all in all a good experience for them, by tomorrow everyone should have all their gear ready to go and have bp to go onto retem.
I was sooooo excited for new genesis but then when it came out I was so disappointed, there was quite literally almost nothing at all to do. Hopefully that’s changed since then.
Im tempted to restart this game because I havent gotten far when I first played the original and even less far when I tried new genesis close to launch, but I just don't know how I would go about that.
NGS is a LOT more beginner friendly than most MMO's. There really isnt much you can mess up on. Join the discord and ask any questions you got, fam~
I might have to try this on ps5 big fan of jrpgs and this looks sweet
I never thought I see this here.
Psn players should start og pso first because most ppl not trying to play it because of how different it is from ngs .but its alot of things u can get from og that can be used in ngs
I agree but I wouldnt recommend beginning with it. It's a super tough grind with very difficult systems. Plus its receiving no new content so theres an inevitable wall you will reach. I think its best played during moments when theres little to do in NGS
True true im a old pso player i tend to be on there more tho since iv done what i wanted to do on pso ngs already so i really just be money grinding till next lvl patch release. But the guild im in none of them want to even log into pso classic because they think its not as fun as ngs
Me and my brother are not very happy about the whole "used skill points are permanant" part. In most other MMOs you spend a chunk of non premium currency to respec but here that's not the case.
protip: use chat commands to make loadout switching even faster
i.e "/ms3" would've swapped Thrift to Braver/Bouncer.
Isn't a major help for PS4 players so i left it out, but yes this is good info.
Just came back from a long hiatus for PS4 launch is there a discord for questions and item trading? (I must have weapon stealthing. It's a moral imperative)
Ship 2 discord link in the description and we have a channel for buying/selling
@@Thriftshoppin you da MVP.
Hey yo, is it still possible to get the sword art online stuff?
Or will the event come back?
Im a new ps5 player btw 😅
We will have to wait for another collaboration event. Most of the stuff can be purchaseable with in-game meseta, but expect them to be very expensive
Sadly, we will need to tell SEGA that PS player also need one.
It a collab event from "base game" so we might need to wait an see.
the next collab that is coming to NGS is Melty Blood and that it
I’m considering getting a ps5. I have a ps4 and I’m not sure if it matters upgrading or not atp.
It could definitely help loading times. From what i'm told the PS4 plays NGS pretty well. I've considered getting one myself just for NGS haha
New players huzzah. Now let's see how long they'll stay.
What beat is playing in the background?
Lucky Wednesday - Harris Heller
So wait, i haven't played before if i start playing it and decide to change platforms sometime in the future can i issue a link code?
Yes, the code lasts for 15 minutes and you uist submit the link code upon your first login on the new device
Should I enhanced lower weapons to high quality for cheap to make a strong weapon or what?
Hey bud! Sorry for the delay. IMO just use what you got. If you can meet some veteran friends the play is to get into a +50 weapon ASAP... regardless of what the weapon is or rarity. Battle power scales off the stats of the weapon and a +50 weapon will beat ANY rarity weapon at +40 while progressing.
I’m stuck on Retem, 30 away from the next BP milestone
Enhance weapons, add augments, unlock item potentials (this gives +10bp per item potential level)
Wowwwwww. Already 10k. I guess PS4 crowd coming.
PS4 > XB1 confirmed
The skill tree seems like a headache. How do I know if I'm making the right choice the first time?
You wont! Ask around, get some advice, or just take a stab at it. However, these skill points are permanent and require either a skill pass to reset the points (given out occassionally) or microtransaction purchases. Come join the discord and ask others if you need help! :)
whats a priceless region map
What is batter fighter for main class and bouncer for sub or bouncer main and fighter sub (I just started today) and what is batter the boot? Or the sword from bouncer or fighter duel sword?
I love this game
me too xD
That the carrot on a stick of this game is a baby carrot? lol
XD
Also don't forget the elevator allows you to play the og pso2 that was for jo for so many years which is believe is better than new genesis
Crossover event items from before aren't region locked, are they? Like, remember that Evangelion event? Will I be able to purchase the items from the player store or participate in the event if it ever comes back?
Yes you will be to but there has not been a word of such collaboration being revived since that requires to purchase the license for global.
Lml it’s me I’m tha Player who ran Outta Money 🤦🏽♂️🤣🤣
XD! It happens. Stia will introduce a lot of mobey making strats so get your classes leveled up and ready~
I jut started playing yesterday. I definitely love the atmosphere of the game. Everyone is trying to turn me away from it tho
that it still looks and feels like you are playing on ps2
I'm so excited to try this and give ff14 a break haha.
If you can afford to pay for ff14 I see no reason play a free mmo like this over a paid one.
@@cartoonvideos5 true true
I've been doing my part letting 14ers know about this game.
@@emanuelporter806 you're a real one for that
Glad youre excited! Message me if you have any questions.
Please someone how in gods name do you play story missions with you're friends every time we are all at the same point in the story the join with group option or look for group option is blanked out why?????
Is there a way to change movements with my character for free? I created a character that hovers when they move, but i dont like how it looks and id like to just make them run... thanks!
Enter the salon and change motions. Dont forget to save before you leave!
@@Thriftshoppin thanks!
Yo i get it. Ur really into this game. 😳
Can I use my PC account for this if so what do I do? I really don't wanna lose all my items
Issue a link code on PC, then enter that code on the other device you wish to play (Xbox/PS4). You have 15 minutes to link via the code. You can always reissue one if you need
@@Thriftshoppin ok still had an issue just going to start from scratch
Can you change ships anytime?
Characters are tied to ships, but can be moved for a HEFTY price.
You can make a separate character and progress on a different ship, but your character cannot swap between ships to play.
They should totally make thst a thing. Or juat have one ship.
@@Thriftshoppin bring back universal ship
how i track my side-quest or my daily?
Go to your tasks, select one of them and select "focus task"
@@Thriftshoppin that what i did nothing happen
im feelin a wired lance video B)
Is this game have story line?
I'm desperate at this point. I've been searching forever for better equipment, but I got the level 40 weapons from the event going on currently, but I can't find any gear past lvl 40 and I just finished the story tonight. Please, if anyone knows where to go/what to farm to get it I would love you forever.
Is there not event armors you can buy? If not, you can search for 7 star +50 enhanced armors in the personal shop, they shouldnt be that expensive. NGS typically releases armors with full augments during events for new/returning players
@@Thriftshoppin they aren't event weapons they're normal ones just at +60 available from Xitre using season points.
how do you search money in this game ,, i dont have enough money in this game.. im playing steam PC
I wish the menus and UI weren't so confusing
Dude missed the warning about the worrying creepy weirdos erp'n just being creeps and how the sexual chat you see puts you off the game completely coz its disturbing
ikr that’s why i ditched global and went back to jp
@@DiscountYT don't blame you
I miss the old genisis :(
"PSO2:A walk in the park dress-up edition"
45 min video? 15 is the cap u already over what I want to watch 😂😂😂😂😂😂 just kidding appreciate the content
hey guys! I'm a new player and I play on ps5, mouse and keyboard work on that! just saying
kb+m is GOATED.
@@Thriftshoppin YEP
Why would you have different character names in? Why would you have more than one character? I was under the impression that much like a final fantasy you can learn every class you can level up the skills of every class on one character what’s what’s the incentive to make multiple characters.
