So whenever I've been playing PSO2, I've noticed I keep missing Quna's concerts, I figured it's just poor luck of me... But it turns out PSCrew has cancelled Quna's concerts, the very last one being a few days a go.

I think what's likely is a new celebraty will be introduced in PSO2:NGs, I mean, there does appear what looks like a concert platform in the capital area that doesn't appear to be in use.

[Berto]

There is indeed an area in New Genesis that looks like its already set up for concert, but may be not yet ready to be implemented.
Quna's concert is a memorable part of PSO2 (and in Idola too) so I'm sure when they're ready they're gonna make something that's equivalent of it.

[Mystic Monkey]

I always found it a bit odd the concert area is part of the Shopping Plaza. I mean sure the crowed that are gathered are never that big (at least not the PSO2 concerts I attended, the only big ones I attended were Summer Festival ones and Cosmic Twinkle Star and they were in the main plaza area.) I always figured that the concert area should deserve it's own area because I figured it could be used for music and perhaps major announcements if needed.

Meanwhile Franca's café is it's own designated area and it pisses me off you can't actually eat the food. It just sits there in front of you, mockingly. Other than being a second Gate Area and having certain shops for food, rings and such what else is it used for?

If you ask me, I think it make more sense if Franca's Café had the concert hall.

[Berto]

May be because the game's made by Japanese. It's a common thing to have an idol concert in plaza area there, but of course mostly are for new idols starting their debut (not established ones).
