Numeria is the thing that originally sold me on Pathfinder, and the mood tonight is definitely praying that we somehow don’t have to wait five years for an official Ancestry for our synthetic friends in 2e. I know they’re not the most universal thing in the world (and I’m sure many would never allow them), but they’re probably the single thing I miss most in the new edition.
Anyone else with me on this?

I wouldn't say I MISS anything from 1e, considering that I'm currently playing it, but androids, robots, and technology certainly are rules I would love to see in 2e sooner rather than later.
Looking at just mechanics, not lore, I would have to say that 2e feels a lot more traditional fantasy than what I'm used to in Pathfinder. The playable classes are largely generic, with even the alchemist rendered fairly conventional since it no longer has gross spells and discoveries.
Now PF2e still has way more options than PF1e at release and is arguably more customizable than 5 years worth of D&D 5e, so I'm not complaining. I just can't see myself switching until I have stats for all the sci-fi references, obscure cryptids, and bizarre planar denizens that I came to use far more than zombies and goblins. The weird is still there in the fluff, but the new rules just doesn't support most of it.

If it's any consolidation...
