pso2 really is a MASSIVE improvement
It is but it isn't (right now at least). As much as they've buffed up the graphics and the gameplay, I don't find the atmosphere to be quite as memorable as PSOBB's. As of right now (and it's probably because PSO2 isn't even complete yet), PSOBB still holds the spot on my list for game with the best atmosphere out of any game I've ever played. I still find PSOBB to have a 'darker' attitude, and the enemy selection seemed to consist of more hostile and quirky monsters that seemed like ancient but advanced races (they really caught my attention). Yes, PSO2 is definitely a thousand steps further in gameplay and it would be silly to say that PSOBB is organized in a better way than PSO2 is. But again, I think this opinion also comes from the fact that PSO2 had very little content in the Beta, and it lacked the extensive amount of rare weapons and armor that PSOBB and PSU had (which was my favorite part about the actual game itself).

Again, if you haven't played it, play it. It was the first real MMO I ever really played, and it was one of two MMORPGs that I've ever payed for (two games since 7 years).

EDIT: The other game was PSU.
