You say that NGS is just PSO2 with a fresh coat of pain, but I think the changes in NGS may even be comparable to going from Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate to Monster Hunter World.
Much better graphics, refined gameplay together with new systems, new story and world, and a major change in the way locations are handled (MH went from small areas that are separated with loading screens to large locations, PSO2 went from randomized instanced areas to large seamless open fields).
