There's right and wrong ways to do it, and MMOs are certainly overplayed by now, but there's still not enough exciting games that let you experience it with 1-3 other people. In fact, I'd take that over an MMO any day! But it still makes no sense why they would add extra monetization when you have to buy the game to begin with.Īll the arguments on this page seem to be against MMOs, (which I wholeheartedly agree with,) rather than actual disagreement with multiplayer as a whole, (which I completely disagree with). There's nothing wrong with wanting to have an adventure with a loved one. Couch co-op or by invite-only is perfectly fine, similarly to how Pokemon works, (more specifically, almost exactly how My Time At Sandrock or Animal Crossing work).

You're not wrong, but I also err on the side of thinking that would make 0 sense because multiplayer =/= MMO. These same people that want this game would lose their mind when the inherent monetization took over the game if it was multiplayer. I wouldn't make a mmo on hoghwarts tho, it's too small imo. So knowing all that i'm not completly against a HP mmo but it has to forget all the things you mentionned. But overall the gameplay is good tbh, if you want a game where no job is completly useless, you'll enjoy it. I do agree that the game gameplay gets 'watered down', some jobs became a lot easier and more convenient over the years (looking at the tanks losing their 'dps stance' haha). Sure it's not the best story ever, but i enjoyed it a lot, it's my main reason to play. The begining is classic for sure but it gets better at the 1rst expantion, the 2nd is a bit dissapointing, but 3rd and 4th are amazing for an mmo. Now i didn't try many other mmo but the story from FFXIV could be used to make a solid solo game focused mostly on story. The store for the game is just for cosmetics or boosts to get close to max lvl, but nothing will guive you a big advantage, no lootbox as well. It's litterally a mmo for solo players, the main story can be done with almost no grinding (if you keep the same job tho) and don't have to reroll at all. I really hope that other mmos take example from FFXIV.
