Comparison between old and new engine for PSO2

So long ago, the Japanese servers had a early taste of what the new engine will be in PSO2. I figured I take the chance to compare between the new engine in JP servers and logging in Global's old engine. Eventually, both servers would end up running the new engines.

Oh! And big disclaimer! I forgot what the settings were on both clients so keep that in mind!


Player models

Default costumes.


Environment


Graphics

Old costume vs newly updated costume.

Same thing again, old costume vs newly updated costume.

Old hairstyle vs new hairstyle.


Skin tone

The skin was kept the same on both clients, once the the new engine is in, all players are provided a color change and salon pass to readjust the skin tone.


Crossdress

Finally, you can now cross-dress! It used to be you could not on the old engine! You can tell someone is super happy when this update dropped. :)

But only that! You can now wear Cast parts and switch back whenever you want to!
