Could you allow more accessories and add more slots for makeup?

They have received numerous requests to increase the cost allowance for accessories and the number of slots for makeup patterns. While the possibility has been considered, extensive testing has shown further increases could potentially result in errors and freezes. To prioritize the stability of the game environment, they have decided not to implement these changes at the present time.

Are there plans to release a soundtrack for NGS after Kvaris?

They are planning to release a new soundtrack. They are also working on making the existing PSO2 Soundtrack available on music streaming platforms.
