Its incredible to me that despite its great visual and combat overhaul I went from playing Phantasy Star Online 2 for 2-3 hours every day (even after having a job again following covid layoffs) to not really wanting to log in period.

The gameplay loop is so stale and unsatisfying. The trade off for an open map is just no guided content. After you finish all the towers and story quests you just grind out daily quests. I know PSO2 launched with barebones content and we were spoiled with its global release but its really disappointing to see a game I love playing become incredibly stale.
