"a realization"
 
   I think it just hit me why I like games like ZZZ and Endfield: they're basically single-player MMOs. (I mean, I think they have multiplayer modes, but bear with me. They're sufficiently optional that I'm not 100% certain whether they exist.) I'm not sure how to explain that further, other than that they have more of an MMO vibe than other open-world games I've played somehow. I dunno, I'm tired. Today was kind of a lot. Maybe I'm just mumbling.

   No, I get where you're coming from. They do have that feel to them.

   While I don't know if I'd play either game, I really like the sound of a "single player MMO"- it'd be cool to see a traditional MMO recast that way to use NPCs to fill out your party with the option to replace them with actual friends, should any want to join in.

   Until (and unless) you get into the raid scene, this is basically Final Fantasy 14.

It is an MMO, but you don't have to play with other people, and most-if-not-all of the dungeons (they keep expanding the list) that typically require Actual Humans can be filled by your trusty NPC sidekicks.

Mostly competently as well!

   I play 14 currently, and yeah it's pretty nice to have NPCs rather than people, since I'm still uncomfortable on the mechanics. Also it just feels right to go in with story-relevant characters rather than random players.

Luckily I main Warrior, so I'm not fighting for the LB bar
