I'll leave a possitive score on this game but I'll also leave a warning for anyone who thinks about playing this as a serious MMO!

I'm just leaving this to display PSO2NGS could be a better game, it's very enjoyable but has flaws!

Sorry to feel a bit of a breaker, but i will warn do not play this game if you're a hardcore MMO player, like PSU is a great casual game. But the endgame of it is terrible like PSU's (JP servers 7th/8th year where every endgame was determined by GCASH injections, their exclusive real money premium currency) and less like base PSO2. You have to literally grind for 6 months to gain content that gets dated in around 3 months, and gear gets updated constantly, it's almost impossible to be minmax without swiping real money in this game. If you don't care about endgame, this game is great, fashion is amazing and creative space has done a lot for what most of the current playerbase came for! Endgame used to be a lot more achievable until one month prior Ver 2 coming out, now endgame is purely monetized and is completely unreasonable and discouraging to grind on your own.

I tell this because the combat in endgame feels barren and the horrible RNG can make almost 8 hours of grind feel meaningless to any endgame progression, keep in mind that base PSO2 and PSU had a lot more content in the same lifespan of 2+ years, so this gets stale and repetitive if you grind for drops due to lack of enemy and stage variety. If you however farm for collecting meseta from the endgame drops so whales buy them to buy fashion and your endgame is to make due with what you get and collect outfits, it's much more entertaining. Reminder that for this you require to be a premium player as f2p has very limited access to the player shops.
