It looks like they delivered on most of that list, albeit in a very shitty manner and not what anybody expected.
I bet the rest of that list will be dripfed to us over the next 8 years.

An event where all users participate

HDD Burst.

Surprises occur every day.

Every day, I'm surprised the game is still up and making money.

An infinite amount of content

Two words, bad idea..

A system where enemies cooperate.

LOL this never happened, if it where then the game would much much harder.

Most of the list did go through but there are potentially good ones that would had done the game hadn't been seen yet or just poorly implanted.

Action RPG - CHECK
Multiple Client Requests (Feature from PSP2 maybe?) - COs? CHECK
Map functions change in real time - Not sure, the map is useful - CHECK
New Interface for interacting with environment functions - If by that they mean we can destroy trees, leaves etc then CHECK
Global Development support - I don't know what this means
Races have been thoroughly balanced - Kind of. You can pick any without much of advantage over another
An event where all users participate - EQs? CHECK
Implementing seasonal changes - CHECK
Original Chat System - Not really original, I'd say good enough. - CHECK
New Mail system - It works. It's good enough for me. - CHECK
A radical revision of the item synthesis system. - Coming soon? Dudu updates?
Expands on your character’s upbringing. - I don't know, not sure about this one.
Event scenes - CHECK
NPC Approach (?) - If this means more NPC interaction. Good enough but could be better.
Your silhouette changes based on what add-ons you have. - Works about 80~90% of the times so it's fine.
New Photon Art? (Blurry) - Seems we're getting plenty of those lately
Support for forming a community (Blurry) (Could mean teams again?) - Probably
Adding a custom element at the time of character creation. - What?
Weapon training system in every category. (Blurry) - Grinding? Or more like use it more often and it will get better-type of thing?
Asynchronous communications. (Blurry) - If it means its client-server model, this is one of the best there is, although we have been having many hiccups lately. Hope this gets fixed soon.
New Party System - CHECK
A system where enemies cooperate. - What? This means the dragonkin versus darker thing?
An infinite amount of content - Well, we get a lot of stuff each update usually.
A new approach to the game client - (psst: HD wipe). No thanks, I'd rather use AIDA's Tweaker thank you.
Surprises occur every day. - I guess they mean Thunder Kitty and Mesetan. No I'm not counting drop rates, no surprises there
Optimization of the Lobby Feature - I am waiting for this, can't stand the wait time to see character's textures loading.
Trump Card System - What is this?
A function where new users and expert users can mutually interact. - Not happening, I can't powerlevel a newbie.

Overall good delivery. What's the matter?

Sure the game can still improve a lot, but's it's pretty nice overall.

Ah the time when people find out they been fucked by the system. But they will rue the day they found out they let the system fuck them. :P

the US is supposedly hated for it's freedom when it has never given 40 acres and a mule.

You did not really believe these promises did you?

[TaigaUC]

Item synthesis = crafting
Global dev = PSO2 Asia
NPC approach = probably the NPC affection system
Enemies cooperate = most of them do that when they try to kill us
Optimization of the lobby = maybe the crappy lighting so that everyone looks unshaded
Trump Card System = that's coming to PSO2 ES Android, isn't it?
New and expert users interacting = chat? ARKS ROAD?

Anyway, people who keep saying the game is fine as is usually don't have as many hours put in.
I remember when a lot of people here kept defending SEGA and dismissing any complaints.
Most of them "turned" to the "dark side", or already gave up hope and quit ages ago.
Funny.

Many aspects of PSO2 still can't compare to much older games I've played, and I find that sad.
What I hate about these games is they're always one step forwards, fifty steps back.
Many aspects of PSO2 can't even compare to aspects of PSU or PSO. That's even sadder.

I just want to point out the very first game ever that had a guild system had multiple chat channels for it. That game is something like 30 years old now.

Yeah....

[BIG OLAF]

I think they did deliver on all of their promises, it's just they severely overstated what each promise entailed.

Also, 'Trump Card' probably referred to the AC scratch (for SEGA). That's their money-maker, boy howdy.

PSO2 has alot of problems, but I can't think of anything that PSU did better...

They promised me bikinis. I see all of you in them. They nailed that one.
