Destiny 2: Beyond Light Unveils New Stasis Subclasses

Your characters are going to be in a similar position. Levels, abilities and some other character progression will not move over to New Genesis. Rather, everyone will start over at level 1, rather than all weapons and units will be accessible because of Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta using different skins. We haven't heard anything regarding classes or if there will be significant gameplay changes, but we will likely hear more as the release date gets nearer. Skill Rings are the only equipment that won't transfer since they will not be in New Genesis at all. Similarly, crafting is becoming a much-needed overhaul, so those things won't be accessible .

Mags will take over, however they won't have the effect you are utilized to in PSO2. They'll be more of a pet in New Genesis that doesn't effect your stats. This is another fantastic design choice because new players often fall in the pit of an unoptimized character. Feeding them any item without realizing what it does contributes to getting random stats and contributes to problems like being not able to equip weapons and trouble in greater levels. Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is a new breed of game, and it will be intriguing to see how well it performs alongside Sega's current MMO.

New Genesis can improve on other aspects of PSO2, too. Following a big update that trimmed down the dull objectives of story quests, what is left is a string of incoherent cutscenes using the strange boss struggle scattered in between. I have tried multiple times to get through the story, but all of it feels pointless. New Genesis, however, has its campaign set in the future, so I'm hoping Sega takes some of the lessons and assembles a new story that's really worth playing and won't have to be trimmed down in a few decades.

It is weird half-measures such as this that make PSO2 an MMO with a great deal of bags. For fans like me, it's simple to reconcile these annoyances since the thrill of fighting elaborate bosses and grinding for that next big upgrade are really enjoyable. However, I have difficulty recommending a game that needs players to observe hours of movies simply to understand some of its basics. New Genesis, though, feels like a clean slate. Taking what already works about PSO2 and modernizing it seems to buy PSO2 Meseta be an easy triumph. Hopefully that is what Sega is actually planning rather than the usual surface-level upgrade with fancy images. Big new surroundings and higher-detailed personalities are nice and all, but it'll mean nothing if New Genesis does not repair the core issues keeping PSO2 from being good.
