I can envision that likely out there we'll still see somebody wearing those old cooperation things even when they aren't awakened to the same criteria as new makeup at an identical manner and that there would have been outrage when it was made unusable or obsolete. Collabs that have had their makeup removed still have their resources exist on Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta the game so those will probably still be accessible for jp players.

Only improvements we will probably see is the new engine improving shadows, shadows, colors, particle effects and casting them against the drapes. You can take a look how exactly implementing better shadows and colors can improve older equipment by assessing ReShade screenshots.

The next step after Plains of Eidolon, to me, personally could have been Dragon's Dogma Online's open fields.

SEA peep here. Not actually play PSO2SEA but I did play with A LOT of matches in SEA release. Maintaining service by means of a localizer (distributor), however, backslash of the distributor be able to modify the sport itself or stray afar from the original maintaining plan from mother company (in this case SEGA). Many games come and go just as a result of bad maintaining and being manipulated. With Sream being a thing since quite a while (really steam slowly became a very important thing in around PSO2SEA launch, the growth of MOBA like Dota2 and LoL was something ), many problems of localizer were turned out, such as manipulating value (PSO2, when enemy coped more dmg and suppose to be) to unfair monetization (several, such as Garena in trapping RP rate in local currencies, also for PSO2 was costume items and affix outfit). It all are a sort of managing and maintening the sport. Frankly, not much match remained within 5-7 years with such absence of honesty and non transparency of buy PSO2 Meseta the localizers, and their plan back then (at least in my state ) was kind of instant-ramen of purchasing permit, utilizing it in few years for fast buck then losing it. There are a few poblishers/localizers did really good job, notably Mihoyo or even YoStar, but that's for mobile market and that is sort of later on with greater standard when players started caring about such and transparency.
