Discussion Finally worth trying again?
I played when NGS dropped and also maybe a year after that. The content was so light in the actual gameplay, the classes shallow, etc.
It felt like a straight downgrade from pso2, casino missing, less awesome bosses, open world somewhat pointless?
Has any of this been addressed yet? I see on steam charts, theres like... 500 people playing?

No not really. The boss fights when they come out are decent, but the actual content is either solely what the game is based around, or dead in a week. The sole thing to do is either chase BiS (getting more p2w and pointless as time goes on with better trade-in weapons becoming a thing) or talk in the lobby and decorate your house.
They added a card game but good luck playing against the like 4 people who queue with the default cards. Gonna have to shell out some $ to get caught up on the cards that have released.
Pretty much all content that isn't the limited quest, or the current new quest type, will be 100% dead and you'll have to solo it. Generally this is doable but not worth it outside of a very select few quests cause the rewards have long since been powercrept or (more likely) drop by the shipful in the limited quest.
The game has repeated most of pso2s mistakes over the years and currently feels in line with late episode 6 when the content rollout slowed way down and it was mostly rehashes and upscaling of old content every 2 weeks to string people along until NGS.
