MMO's are hit or miss for me. I gave Final Fantasy Online a whirl. Couldn't get into it. Which is odd because I grew up on the Final Fantasy series in general. Would like to see a Final Fantasy Tactics or Vagrant Story reboot because it ties Ivalice together which is a good world I appreciated from the Final Fantasy universe. I think Ivalice is in Final Fantasy XI or XII. I cannot remember. 

I have Elden Ring. It was pretty fun. I hear you on ESO though. I sometimes fear getting burned out as well on there so I'll just mix it up off and on with different characters, builds and try targeting the daily and weekly endeavors to rack up points for some hopefully decent rewards for purchase in the crown store down the road. 

Might start playing Tactics Ogre Reborn though to break it up a little. Got it on a good deal with the PS Store not too long ago. I had it on my PSP but it should be more fun to play I would think on the PS5.

Started with Neverwinter's night then got into beta testing, play most all of them. Still occasionally play DAOC or Ultima Online. They experienced a small revival during covid.

If I could have any MMO revived, without a doubt, it would be Everquest Online Adventures (EQOA) from the PS2 era. That was really my first experience with an MMORPG. Everything about it from top, down was perfect. The social aspect of it was great, the friend and guild system was great, the mechanics overall were really good for it's time and the expansion pack they added was solid. 

It's a shame Sony didn't keep it going. I can understand though, because, at that time, Everquest was mostly the PC's crown jewel for that genre, but, Blizzard would come along and absolutely transcend the genre completely with World of Warcraft. I tried dabbling with that for awhile.

Once I got about half way into the Wrath of the Lich King, I was officially burned out. Being young and just starting a career with a desk job didn't help. Pretty much shot my desire to sit at a desk all day and game while working all day at a desk. Just couldn't stomach it from that point on. 

ESO is about as close as it gets for me to EQOA. However, if Blizzard ever decided to transition World of Warcraft over into a console format? I would be 1,000% down and invested into it from my couch on my big [BLEEP] TV screen in my living room. Would play it to death more than likely.
