The Item Catalog page that used to be on the Official Site was useful and I would like to see it brought back.

Since we stopped publishing the item Catalog, we have continuously received requests to bring it back. In response we are planning to reopen the item catalog page in a simplified form, although it will not be exactly the same as before. We plan to focus on newly released AC Scratch Tickets and publish a page with key information. Such as thumbnail images of the prizes and item names before the Scratch Tickets are released.

For Characters with larger physiques, the waist area of Outfits bulges more than necessary, and it looks bad. Could you please improve this?

In response to your request, we are planning to add a function that will allow for some adjustment of how clothing spreads over the waist area. Please note that this will be limited to NGS blocks.

Could you please allow me to apply depth of field so that I can have more fun taking screenshots?

In response to this request, we are planning to add a function to enable depth of field outside of the event scenes as well.

Due to the large area over which enemies spawn during PSE Bursts in some Combat Sectors, you have to move all over to defeat each enemy. Do you have any plans to address this?

Since the spawn area of enemies during PSE Bursts differs in each sector according to the terrain we plan on reviewing the enemy spawn area in the future.

How will I get building materials and furniture for my Creative Space?

Many build parts, the main building materials, will be able to be purchased using a new in-game points called Genesis Points. You can earn Genesis points through gameplay, primarily by completing tasks related to the creative space. In addition, when parts of furnishings from PSO2 are released with NGS specs, in many cases they will be sold directly in the SG Shop. Other than that, we plan to release other parts that can be obtained through the login-bonus, SP Scratch Tickets, SG Scratch Tickets and so on. Although the percentages for these parts will be low. Furthermore, some special parts and collab related parts will be made available via the AC Shop and AC Scratch Tickets, for these only we plan to make pre-registration tickets that can be put up for sale in the personal shop.
