Not really, just saying that keeping expectations low isn't some magical solution, especially not when it comes to other people, about a future multiplayer game. But you're free to do it anyway afaic.
Besides, it's not like I'm advocating for everyone to share the message that this is 100% going to be the greatest game ever. Just, in the context of your stance on what qualifies or doesn't qualify as a sequel(which I'm willing to affirm isn't universal), no, I don't think you've got some cherry on top when it comes to managing expectations. That's all.

If the differences between PSO2 and NGS were something like a new episode + the graphical upgrade, I would agree with that, but, while NGS shares some features with PSO2, the refinements to those features plus the new ones are pretty much a new game experience.
On another note, other than outdated graphics, one thing I often see being mentioned that turns off new players from PSO2 at the beginning is how clunky it is early on (a result of content that has been abandoned/failed experiments throughout the years), NGS being a fresh start despite being bundled with PSO2 should fix that at least.
PSO2 EN (Ship 1): Johana
PSO2 JP (Ship 2): Johana, Ezodagrom, Luppi, Lana, Yukari, Blune, Elysia, Elena
PSU EN/JP: Johana, Blune, Ezodagrom, Luppi/Johana, Lana

I won't be helping you for obvious reasons so I'm just going to watch the show from the sidelines
uhh as far as I remember, JA wasn't in PSU until AOTI happened and continued from there. I don't remember them ever removing it from JP side either considering JA's mattered in PSU once they became a thing.
JA has never obsoleted itself in PSO2 despite everything thats happened to the game so far, wtf are you even talking about? we have class skills where you NEED to JA or you lose out on its benefits which can be a good chunk of DPS compared to someone who is just not doing JA's at all
okay outside JA rants, my other beef with this game is it better get some new weapon types. I dont feel like its good to play NGS and we're all just basically playing successor class upgrades to the already existing ones, ya its cool theyre more refined but new weapons, classes etc, we need them. not just some costume put over PSO2 named NGS because I mean, we'd really wouldnt be doing all that much different compared to what we do now in PSO2 with the exception of starting over in an open world game
I just want to point out that, yes, this is obviously PSO3 in all but name. They're just keeping the tie to PSO2 (and the absolutely bizarre avatar cross-compatibility) because they have a ton of legacy stuff they want to continue to cash in on.
Gameplay-wise, graphically, story-wise, it is a sequel. I have no idea why anyone would ever bother arguing otherwise. What a mind-boggling argument.
Is this actually an issue when you can just export and import characters? Not that I disagree, since more precision is always better than less, but it still strikes me as an odd thing to get hung up on.
Zysets is not saying that JAs are obsolete from a damage/DPS point of view, they're obsolete from a gameplay point of view.
In my opinion they don't really add all that much to the experience and may even get in the way during chaotic situations (12 players content with alot of visual noise and noisy sound effects), situations where we can't even get visual or sound confirmation that the JAs were successful.
I hope they eventually start adding new weapons as well, either through new classes or even adding new weapon types to existing classes. But it's pretty clear that for a while they're just gonna be playing catch up with PSO2's existing classes and weapon types.

One thing i hope is that they dont oversaturate the gear library. fliing it nothing but junk and fodders. Make every weapon as unique as they can with its own play style, not just slap them with damage boost over and over and over and call it a day.
Base game had those gimmicky weapons such as spread needle and etc but it was already way too late at the point they were introduced. Late game solo/4pt content has been nothing but kill things faster to get better rewards or else fail. I hate divide quest because every thing is on timer, I know we can still get rewards even if the timer runs out but the fact that almost everything in this game punishes you for taking things too long is just exhausting and annoying.
In the end you only need 3 things to kill things which is player skill, damage multipliers and insane pp recovery.. Everything just relies way too much on damage multipliers that having a unique gimmicks don't matter.
I hope they learned whatever the hell they did in PSO2 and not make the same mistake in NGS.

An expansion. It's an expansion. By your logic WoW is technically on the 3rd or 4th version. The gameplay is not as changed as people like to think it is. They just 'sucessored' the base classes, which anyone with a brain knew they were going to do eventually. The Photon Dash is just the fucking earth rings turned into a skill. lol Adding swimming is pointless until we see something more with it. A big instanced Advanced Quest like map with small instances in it again is nothing really new. I like the changes but Sega isn't breaking new ground here. It's an upgrade, not a new game.
