I strongly suspect that NGS is buy meseta pso2 from Limm's blog

 They will be implementing the Phantasy Star Online 2 Meseta graphics engine upgrade to the first PSO2 also so that it will continue to exist next to NGS and not simply be abandoned.

They likely figured that individuals would wish to have the ability to experience the first PSO2 how JP players did so that, when NGS comes, they could experience precisely the exact same context that JP players had/have. They have also expressed that they need JP and NA to eventually maintain sync, so this gives a path so that NA players can reach to that exact same point as JP players at an more-accelerated way.

You can look at any F2P game cynically in that sense -- that the sole reason to launch any F2P match (or game, actually ) would be to break-even or ideally profit. But when they'd only launched NGS without bringing over the first PSO2 in any way, there would be a lot of articles NA players could be missing out on, and that includes items you can buy in PSO2 and take around to NGS. (Which is why even utilizing Tweaker and playing the JP servers wouldn't be the same, as you could not carry any of the over to NA servers.) Plus, given that they decided original PSO2 will stand alongside NGS, they were going to have to port both over anyway, so better to get it done in stages.

(I strongly suspect that NGS is buy meseta pso2 not going to launch with a"full game's" value of articles, but will be released progressively with time. This is most likely why they are upgrading the original PSO2 and keeping equally side-by-side -- because folks will run out of things to do should they only play NGS.
