Does this game have a decent story/characters ie: solo friendly...?
I know this sounds a bit strange, but i like playing mmo's pretty solo - only grouping up when i need/want to tackle specific content that i cant do solo - a prime example of that for me would be ESO...

Is this game worth playing as mainly solo player for the story and exploration...? It looks cool but what i see mainly is combat heavy and with large groups...

Thanks for any info...

Majority of the game is a solo-fest, up until you reach the high end-game content, where it's recommended to tag up with at least one more until you've mastered your chosen class and their moves. Certain quests force people to work together, regardless of wanting to solo or not, but again, you can almost entirely solo the game.

Story isn't all the great, especially compared to previous PSO entries, but it's an MMO. Most of these stories are going to be oddball, outta-the-park stuff to begin with, so take it or leave it.

Ok cool - What about voice acting...? What i really like about ESO is that all the npc's are fully voiced which gives a great sense of immersion...

You can solo no problem the majority of the content. You can even bring along NPC's, and copies of any of your friends as an NPC if they set theirs up.

The nice thing is how you can jump in and out between solo and grouping by just selecting a mission that's already in progress if you want to party, or just run solo if you really want it.

Just watch the anime to get a much better idea about the story. I didn't like the anime that much, but it is beyond impressive compared to the early game stuff you see in this game. Also it is quite fun solo as well. Just avoid the story ;)

If you like anime, Japanese VA all the way. If you hate your ears but want to understand every word said, go with the English VA. A lot of the key NPCs have voices, including the shop keeps.

I play the game solo half the time. It's really easy since they give you a list of ai friends and you even get rewards for using them. (you get rewards for playing solo and with others)

So far I see full English VO of everything and it is very decent. Story looks like typical anime stuff, so if you usually ok with anime plots and storytelling style - you'll be fine here.

Have you even tried it? English VO is totally fine. I understand sometimes English VO can be poorly done (e.g. like in DW9), but this is totally not the case here. At least in first chapters. Maybe later it gets worse, but so far so good.

There is no reason to play with non-English VO unless you are a hardcore weeb.

Ok cool - i might give it a go...

One last question - How are the micro-transactions...? Being a F2P i imagine they have all sorts of crap you can buy... I really dont want to have to pay for anything, will that hinder my experience...?

You'll be fine. There's no P2W. The most useful thing to spend money on is bigger permanent pockets-(the +10 inventory space)- all other paid storage is limited and not worth it- shouldn't be an issue. Use multiple characters to mule if your storage becomes full and there shouldn't be a problem.

Cosmetics can be very expensive because people spend real money for them then sell them to f2p players- but that's just a luxury.

Shop is something you'll need- but you CAN get shop passes as a F2P- but it's RNG in a FUN(currency) scratch. But later in the game FUN is everywhere- and making it is effortless.

@Elfie I have, and I turned it off as soon as I could, to save both my sanity and my headset as I was tempted to snap it when I couldn't change the settings whilst in the Prologue. Maybe it's good to those who listen to EU dubbed things or are from that part of the world, but my god, to my ears, I would have preferred the English Dubbing they used in old Godzilla movies.

On Topic: No P2W mechanics here, just pay-for-convenience. You can buy just about everything through player shops later on, so cosmetics and such aren't really a "must buy".

Hmmm...
I usually play Persona games with English VO, because it's very well done. Right now i'm playing Persona 4 Golden with Japanese VO just for something different.
Yet i usually prefer playing Japanese games with Japanese VO. Unless there's an option for Russian VO, which is always better than English VO. I prefer Japanese VO to English VO simply because i don't like how English VO pronounce letters. (Why, for instance S and H together make a whole new sound? It makes no sense... English language pronouncification is so hard...)

I am fine with not understanding words i hear in games. I am Russian, and when i was a kid, a lot of games had Russian subs, but voices were English. So i'm used to that.
Plus... Japanese VO sounds close to Russian, so i prefer that.

So am i Weeb or Not?
Or everyone who plays with Japanese VO on their preference is a weeb?

What's cool about it is if you don't have real people to team up with you (or don't feel like waiting) you can bring AI bots. They can be characters in the story, AI versions of your in game friends, your alt characters or random other characters. I do think it's useful to run Advanced Quests (AQs) at level 50-75 with real people because you get PSE bursts that can last forever and get all kinds of xp, but you don't HAVE to.

It's decent. The first 3 episodes are solid story content, if you look past the budget production values. The VO is like something from the Sega Saturn, and the writing is like somebody's RPG Maker fangame.
Aside from that, there's some solo content here and there that's fine but mostly it's a grindgame loop without much meat to it outside multiplayer endgame.

Apparently, majority of the players throughout the world are weebs. But if you're not a weeb, why even play PSO2 to begin with, you know?

You play a game in a language you do not understand, when there is an option available to play in the language you do. Historically people did watch anime in JP VO with subs because there was almost never Pro dubbing of Japanese games and anime. Now in this game EN dub is available and sounds actually pretty good. Well, to each their own.

Personally, I can't stand Japanese VO, mostly for the reason that it does literally hurt ears (some female voices). Too high pitch, and sometimes very not fitting to the character. And young males are all sound exactly the same and im really tired of that "same" voice of "Typical Japanese Schoolboy" from watching subbed anime.

Yes, it is true that more mature/adult Japanese voices sound badass and in some way they do sound more natural to Russian ear, but here I don't see too many older characters.
