Pseudo-MMO Game Recommendation.

[Azazelivae]

Basically the title.

For Context: I LOVE Dot Hack series.

And for years i'd been trying to satiate that hunger for new Dothack with plethora of other games.
While yes i understand to some degree that it was one of a Kind, i kinda wish that more games like that existed.

All in all this thread basically surmised to 2 things:

"Do you know any other Pseudo-MMO like Games?"
"If you do what are some of your Recommendations?"

And also don't recommend the SAO-series games please because well i already finished all of it lmao.

Don't know if you have the same idea of a pseudo mmo as me, but Monster Hunter. I've been a fan since childhood, not a single full scale mmo has come close to MH for me. It's got all the stuff an mmo does just on a smaller scale.

Yeah i do play MH because of that as well, for years stuck in Gen 2 untill i got my hands at Rise recently (I technically play GU but it's on borrowed devices won't count that)

But the Pseudo-MMO that i asked here is specifically like it was designed as if it was an MMO but Not, yeah basically like .hack// series, it's so far and few between it basically racked my brain everytimes i'm trying to find something akin to it.

Xenoblade's detractors always call it an offline MMO, same thing for Final Fantasy XII, what do you think?

Xenoblade never feels like that for me, but FFXII definitely has that vibes, though it probably because of its battle system primarily.

The Phantasy Star games single player story counts?

It's not just detractors. The gameplay was heavily based off games like WoW, to a degree that is very noticable. And it's not really a bad thing; it's just the gameplay, while the story and music still sticks to the JRPG style.

I'd recommend the Switch version of the first Xenoblade Chronicles, which is perfectly done. After that, you could play Xenoblade Chronicles X, as the gameplay is extremely good (and the Switch version fixes a lot of the negative aspects), but keep in mind that it has various writing flaws. After that, I'd skip XC2, as the writing is terrible and it lacks the gameplay refinements of the rereleases of the previous games. XC3 is not too bad, but I never completed it because the menu system is frustrating.
