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.
Not exactly what you need but have you tried Neverwinter Nights? Its base game is pretty standard linear RPG from BioWare but it was released together with its development kit, and there is an endless sea of community content, some being MMO style worlds.
