How long do you have to play before you can switch back to base PSO2?

[BONKERS]

This is incredibly stupid, forcing players to play NGS to a certain point to access base PSO2. (So much for "You can only have base PSO2 or NGS installed.)
I really have no interest in playing NGS at this point and just want to keep playing regular PSO2.

Also, having the ships for both games populations linked is likewise dumb. They should be separate since they are essentially separate games. Can't tell me the ship is full for base PSO2 when everyone is actually playing NGS...

after accessing ngs for the first time, you can change to pso2 from the char select menu, provided you can enter your ship

[Noob Van Noob]

but yes locking stuff to tutorial is kinda dumb

Oh, that stinks!! I wasn't planning to play NGS until I finally finish PSO2's story. >_< (I'm currently in the middle of Episode 5.)

Is that so? So, I only have to choose my char and then access base PSO2?

It's not as if you'll be spoiled or anything for stepping into NGS for a hot second. The stories are completely separate.

I didn't want to start any of the NGS stroy and then cut out on it for however long it's going to take me to get through the rest of PSO2 story. (Probably a really long time knowing myself.)

I also didn't want to deal with any of the importation of my existing character into NGS until I was actually ready to play NGS. (I pretty sure I was going to at least stay a Gunner for NGS but didn't want to make any decisions until I was actually ready to play it.)

i mean you had literal months to do it but eh. the prologue is really short and basically just explains the setting so you wont be missing much tbh.

Forgive some of us who wanted to play the game at their own pace considering it's only been out for a year or so in English after waiting 8+ years. T_T
I didn't get to start really playing until around Christmas time last year personally.
