Have you played PSO1, by any chance? I got to try that out on PS2 way back in the day -- episode 1, at least -- and although I had a friend who was SUPER into it, so I ended up getting roped into some local multiplayer on a number of occasions, I was never into it. The combat was ridiculously stiff, the gameplay loop wasn't that interesting. It was like playing Diablo 1, clearing one or two map floors, and then going back to futuristic Tristram, except I was never clear on how useful my upgrades were or what I was really trying to achieve.

I'm sure PSO2 is way better, and I don't want to hijack this thread to talk about PSO2 over Lost Ark, but I know how much you champion the game, so I figured I'd ask if you had some sense how much of an upgrade the game was fundamentally. I suppose simply from almost 20 years of technology later it simply has to be better, but the core gameplay wasn't anything exciting, so that's not saying much.

I've never played it and have really only heard fans talk about it so I don't have a firm impression what the gameplay was like. 2 at least, and especially the update, definitely priotized the combat and making it feel fluid
