True, but maybe, and this is most likely me just being incredibly cynical towards this game after by and large quitting [I say this but watch something drag me back in], but I wouldn't be surprised if Sega eventually did away with the passes entirely and made it only SG therefore potentially pushing people to spend money.
Of course, on the flip side part of me is actually happy about this change; it gives people another avenue to change things without spending money. Two sides and whatnot.
I was thinking the exact same thing honestly. I consider this a throwback to "ultimate mode" reskins, the whole point was that it's supposed to be the exact same boss but stronger. People forget reskins have been a staple in RPG's since their inception. Turn a yellow bee enemy red and all of a sudden it's got a different name and capable of wiping your party. PSO1 lived off of this trope, we had like 12 base enemies tops and every other enemy in the game was just a remodel of them with mildly tweaked AI so they shot a tech or something instead. We all noticed, but no one really had any issue with it.
Plus it doesn't help too much that PSO2 is just running off of a modified PSU engine, so I have to say they're doing pretty good with a game that's technically 13 or more years old.

I have absolutely no problem with reskins when they're logical, but I personally hate this excuse, especially when the devs have shown multiple times that they're fully capable of using an existing rig in ways that make the enemy behave differently. I'm fine with Loser though, I care more about changes to his move-set than making him look different since it's literally just loser again anyway.

Do you mean innerwear? None of the base wears are the same model unless they're part of the same set... which is exactly my point about reskins being fine. Either way, the point of new outfits is new looks, that can be anything from simple texture changes, to entirely new outfits, whereas the point of new enemies is to provide new challenges and mechanics. You're comparing apples and oranges.
