Gosh, this seems so complex. On the 1 hand, kudos for maintaining the original game intact so there will not be a riot over fluctuations people don't like. But on the other hand, since they are remaking base Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta visuals anyway, I wish they would only go 100% and synchronize personality models entirely. Giving old players a few free style items and unlocks would be sufficient to bribe everyone to accept the new system.

Synchronizing 100% character models doesn't sound simple. The dilemma is that the old outfits and coating wear are modeled to match the old pso2 body. In order to synchronize it, they would have to recreate from scratch (haha pun) 8 decades of cosmetics. That is not likely to occur. I mean that I would be willing to shed a certain proportion of these makeup to help keep things intact across variations. Provided that there's a continuous feed of cool new things to replace it, I do not mind. I always rotate out my old appearances anyway. Provided that the character versions translate 1:1 it'll still feel like mine.

I'd imagine a massive complication to this entails a great deal of the makeup from the Japanese side of things that were exclusive to collaborations, promotional events, and events that no longer exist. The instance I can think of is the Monster Hunter Frontier Z cooperation where I can envision the clothes and weapons could unquestionably be provided a visual upgrade together with everything else but I do not exactly know how the licensing or the way the lawful side of the collaboration functions where I'd wish it was as simple as Sega going through and upgrading the assets but I don't know about how much of Capcom is involved in this procedure.

The same is applicable to collaborations like the Final Fantasy XIV cooperation with Odin (which still exists as far as I know) where I do not understand just how much Square Enix is involved in that for Sega to have the ability to upgrade assets there. If it was only just Phantasy Star-related items (such as character outfits, cameos from different games, or other Sega-related possessions ) I could imagine that Pso2 buy meseta na this likely would have been done, or would be carried out. But from the Global variant we already don't have the existence of Cougar NX therefore I don't exactly know if there are other complications regarding Sega's properties which may also contribute to not updating everything they could within reason.
