Map size?

[Hanti]

Is this all we get? I thought the map might open up later on and the beginning might be 10% of the overall map. But this isn't the case. Is there a roadmap or something like that to see what's planned? This feels like an early beta content wise.

[Nope]

What we have is 1/4 of the total continent map

I rather have a more detailed smaller map than a large one with tons of open space/repetitive appearances.

I think for the content we have for this area the size is fine.

Ohh, like ffxiv maps, lol.

I think the current map is pretty big honestly. And it's 1/4th of the current planet we're on, who's to say there won't be multiple planets in the future?

It wouldn't be a PSO game with out the planet hopping, but right now we only have 1/4 of the first planet, with the next area opening up on the next major update.

Take it slow. Compare it with Genshin Impact. There we have two areas (Mondstadt and Liyue) plus one smaller area that came later. It's one (major) area per element and there will be eight. But it will take years to roll out all these new areas (just like it took in the Japanese PSO2). But that also means that there will be years you spend in the game (instead of just 50 hours and then uninstall). So, just enjoy the ride. This way people can really appreciate the game world in detail instead of just rushing through. Imagine if NGS released with all its future content today. Would you really take time to explore Aelio then? No, you would just see it as a tedious low level starting area with nothing of value for your level 100 endgame

If the release included the greyed out area, the hard core crowd will blast thru all of it in less than a month and the non content complaints will be back. PSO2JP's normal days are very very dry.

When the Klauz/Cras were released, a rare material needed 50 runs for a rare material in making. Hard cores who have one char per ship managed to make theirs in less than a week coz 10 runs x 5 days lmao.

While the map is large enough - it's empty. Only 3 areas for farming etc. Rest is just void in between.

Yeah no, the 3 combat zone are just for exp and fodders farm
While the valuable stuff are coming from the 4 exploration zone

Two weeks?
Even with some farming and grinding those burst zones - 4 days later i was hit with "To Be continued". I wasn't even rushing the missions.
So really there was just 1 day of content - what's left is just dailies and grinding the same areas again.

Let's not forget the fact that in other mmorpg releases people hit end game in less than a week and complained about there not being content so regardless when a game first comes out you can hit end game at roughly the same timeframe. Even if ngs had more of the story and another area at release everyone will still rush though it and complain that there is no content
