@coded_artist i think it came out in JP a couple years ago? it was slated for release this year for global, got a closed beta, and then i wanna say they pushed back the release? something along those lines. it was going to be censored here though and they even changed some character skin colors because amazon was publishing it, of course.

i've heard that on JP it's basically a ghost town unless you're playing at peak hours. i don't know why exactly it has failed but players just don't seem to like it enough to stick around. which is really saying something, because people like to throw a lot of shade at PSO2NGS for having "no content" but it's still alive and the "NGS killer" Blue Protocol is getting killed off. so, whatever it was, it must not be very good for some key reasons.
