Of course, the bigger news isn't "PSO2A coming to the West", rather, why it's coming to the west...

Isn't the the typical "neutral" character they tend to give off in shows such as this?

Kind of figured when it was first announced people be like "ugh.....SAO copy" lol

That's the biggest irony I've seen today, dunno whether this is hilarious af or just plainly sad tbh.

Now the west gets to watch a glorified advert for a game they will likely never have.

It's the cookie-cutter "young male lead" design the anime industry's used for years, yes. Analogous to the default "scowling buzzcut smoldering with generic angst" (think default Shepard) of western gaming industry.
