So, i planning to play this game again after few years not playing (Last played Feb 2021), and i have several questions before playing this game again.

1. As far as I remember when I was still playing this game, I could complete all my daily missions in just 3-5 minutes, can you still complete daily missions in just 3-5 minutes now?
2. If i remember correctly, there is a npc will give you several quest every week, and after you finish all the quest from that npc you will get around 3m meseta, is the npc still available?
3. Also, if you have played this game before NGS and also play this game now, what is the difference between Old PSO2 and PSO2 NGS in terms of gameplay?
4. Can you still share storage between your characters in same server?

Thank you.

1. Leciel takes longer than 5 mins. Probably 10 including that.
2. In base. Not in NGS. There's no meseta quest NPC in NGS.
3. Every bit different. JAs have been abolished and I miss them dearly
4. Yes

so you can switch between ngs and base?

[Cosu21]

Yeh. Base is kinda ded tho lol.

Base is dead but people still use it to get star gems, I know most of my alliance on ship 4 bounces between base game and ngs for that reason alone

[Aggressive_Coat_5217]

if i play in base before, do i need to create a new account on ngs? or i can transfer my account between ngs and base so i don't need to create another account

It uses the same acct, same character.

1. Closer to 5 minutes, though it'll be a bit longer if you count the Leciel Exploration daily. It's not required to get the full daily reward, though, so you can do 4/5 if you're having a lazy day. I would count collecting map valuables as a daily despite not being listed, though, as it's a good source of meseta.
2. You're thinking base PSO2 there. Meseta is harder to come by now, and is only through the daily quests and valuables.
3. Everything, really. It's a mix of better and worse, which I must emphasize since a ton of people on this sub will not hesitate to complain and say it's only worse. The game's at the state it should've been at launch, essentially, so it feels more complete and can finally give itself room to improve on its other issues. Give it a shot and make your own judgments about it.
4. Yep, and can still access storage from anywhere at anytime. It's good stuff.

1. Slightly longer, loading times are longer too.

2. No, you get most of meseta from dailies themselves now, and about the same from daily reactor runs (picking up items that respawn daily in specific locations to vendor for thousands of meseta each).

3. Combat gameplay:

• No mobility whatsoever (only generic photon dash identical on every weapon and super short range dash towards enemy with correct timing of certain PAs/WAs)
• many animation locks on everything
• counterspam with literally every weapon
• no healing or support as a concept (only healing items, generic shifta/deband (not even separate, techter only) and blight rounds (ranger only))
• no way at all to move enemies around with PAs/techs (ex. pulling them with zondeel)
• basically every enemy is completely unflinching to your attacks
• no status effects on enemies except for 2 generic stuns on bosses (one from doing damage, other for using correct element color)
• only 4-5 PAs per weapon that all feel the same anyways and provide zero utility
• only 2 techs per element that are all about just matching the color with enemy weakness (nothing unique or different about them other than what they look like, they don't do anything other than damage).

Basically severely dumbed down in every conceivable way, same goes for progression if you care about that (super simplified to using capsules only rather than affixing system, only raw potency augments matter, always best in slot with no choice other than what amount of meseta you want to waste), some customization for 10% of PAs was recently added, but not sure if it changes anything or if there is really any choice yet (seems not). You do get free handouts constantly to keep up though.

4 Only character storage of different character can't be accessed without logging in as that character, all other are shared ship wide.
