Gosh, this seems so complicated. On PSO2 Meseta the one hand, kudos for keeping the original game intact so that there will not be a riot over changes people do not like. However on the other hand, since they are remaking base PSO2 visuals anyhow, I wish they'd just go 100% and synchronize personality models entirely. Giving old players a few free fashion items and unlocks will be sufficient to bribe everyone to accept the new system.

Synchronizing 100% personality models does not sound easy. The problem is that the old outfits and coating use are modeled to fit the older pso2 body. That's not likely to occur. Well, I mean that I would be ready to shed a certain percentage of these cosmetics to help keep things intact across versions. As long as there's a steady feed of cool new things to replace it, I do not mind. I always rotate my old looks anyhow. Provided that the character versions translate 1:1 it will still feel just like mine.

I'd envision a massive complication to this involves a great deal of the cosmetics from the Western side of things which were exclusive to collaborations, promotional events, and events that no longer exist. The example I can think of is that the Monster Hunter Frontier Z collaboration where I could envision the clothing and weapons could unquestionably be provided a visual update along with everything else but that I don't exactly understand how the licensing or the way the side of the collaboration functions in which I would wish it was as simple as Sega going through and updating the resources but I don't understand about how much of Capcom is involved in that process.

The same applies to collaborations like the Final Fantasy XIV collaboration with Odin (which exists as far as I know) where I do not understand just how much of Square Enix is involved in that for Sega to be able to update assets there. If it was only just Phantasy Star-related items (such as character outfits, cameos from different games, or alternative Sega-related possessions ) I could imagine this probably would have been done, or would be done. But from the Global variant we already don't have the presence of Cougar NX therefore I don't know if there are other complications regarding Sega's own properties that might also contribute to buy meseta pso2 not updating everything they could within reason.
