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.

    There’s also just playing on community servers or hosting you own.

    I’m not sure if it’s been figured out how to do that for FFXIV yet, but there are others.

    You can try the 2009scape single player mode, join the official server, or host it yourself.
