The game is free...

Kinda how I see it, some fans would still jump on it but I'd assume at this time people would not even give it a shot. Then again it is much more action and skill based so maybe it would still have a shot. Though I think one of the big things with the Japan version is all the promotions and crossovers they can do, was still pretty cool (to me) to actually go to a Hatsune Miku concert in game or having Sonics "City Escape" music during the anniversary of Sonic. Can't exactly say we'd have any of that stuff in a Western release but I also don't know the stuff required in doing the rights and such.

I'm sure he's well aware of that.. what he ment was (like myself included). Even though the game is Free, I wouldn't mind spending money on this games cash shop. The game is very fun as was the original and for a lot of people (like myself), it was there 1st ever online game and PSO2 is like coming back home to were it all began.
Exactly, the state of the game right now would be a Licensing hell! This game has crossed over with Soooo many games. They could avoid this be releasing the base game without the current crossover content like they did with the original PSO (and on a side note, City escape music was pretty awesome. "Follow me, set me free!" Gahhh dammit, thats going to be stucfk in my head now lol xD)
To be honest, I'm happy that I am not seeing any PSO2-related content in FFXIV.
Took me long enough to realize what utter bullcrap that game is and I'm glad that I'm not playing it anymore.
