So this is a weird one. Yes, I know an offline MMORPG is just an RPG, but I’m looking for a specific kind.
I loved FFXIV, but there was always something in the back of my mind that said “I don’t own any of this, it all goes away if I stop paying, and I could be banned tomorrow and lose everything”. I’d love to have a game that plays somewhat similar, but offline and for a single payment, please.
I know about the .hack series and those games seem pretty fun, but don’t scratch the same gathering resources/crafting items/using or selling items cycle. Also they’re apparently grindy as fuck.
Anyone have any suggestions please? Preferably PC please, but Switch and PS1/2/3 also valid suggestions. Thank you.
It’s not offline lol but if you overlook your primary concern 😂 one time purchase Bitcraft online it’s cozy casual survival crafting mmorpg you can solo it up but engage in the chat and coordinate with community at an opt in level 😅
I mean, if I’m willing to ignore enough concerns, almost any MMORPG becomes a viable option.
Fair enough haha with the emphasis on gathering crafting though I’d say most survival crafting games likely are near enough what you’re after
But if it’s the lived in world vibes you’re looking for it’s tough to simulate
