They're remaking base PSO2 visuals anyhow from wangrui's blog
Excellent FAQ, answers a whole lot of PSO2 Meseta my initial doubts. Gosh, this looks so complex. On the one hand, kudos for maintaining the original game intact so there won't be a riot over changes people don't like. However on the flip side, since they're remaking base PSO2 visuals anyhow, I wish they'd only go 100 percent and synchronize personality models entirely. Giving old players some free fashion items and unlocks will be enough to bribe everyone to accept the new system.
Synchronizing 100% character models does not seem easy. The problem is that the older outfits and coating use are modeled to match the old pso2 body. That's unlikely to occur. Well, I mean that I would be ready to drop a certain proportion of those makeup to help keep things intact across variations. As long as there's a steady feed of cool new things to replace it, I don't mind. I always rotate out my older looks anyhow. As long as the character models translate 1:1 it will still feel like mine.
I would envision a large complication to this involves a lot of the cosmetics from the Western side of things which were exclusive to collaborations, promotional events, and events which no longer exist. The instance I can think of is that the Monster Hunter Frontier Z collaboration where I could envision the clothing and weapons could unquestionably be provided a visual update together with everything else but I do not exactly know how the licensing or the way the legal side of this collaboration functions where I'd wish it had been as simple as Sega going through and updating the resources but I don't understand about just how much of Capcom is involved in that procedure.
The same applies to collaborations such as the Final Fantasy XIV collaboration with Odin (which still exists as far as I know) where I don't know just how much of Square Enix is involved that for Sega to have the ability to upgrade assets . If it was purely just Phantasy Star-related things (such as character outfits, cameos from different games, or alternative Sega-related possessions ) I could envision that this probably would have been achieved, or would be carried out. But from the Global variant we already don't have the existence of Cougar NX so that I do not know if there are additional complications regarding Sega's own properties that may also contribute not to updating everything they can within reason.
I can imagine that probably out there we will still see someone wearing those old collaboration things even when they are not rigged up to the same criteria as fresh cosmetics in a similar manner and that there would have been outrage when it was made unusable or obsolete. Collabs that have had their makeup removed still have their resources exist on the game so those will probably still be accessible for buy meseta pso2 jp players.
