In one interview the meseta pso2 devs said 14 players a open world example, in another 8, the reality is that their cases can handle quite a lot of people but it gets messy when there are too many of these so the number of players each instance is limited to under what's possible from a technical side. The servers are hosted on cloud.
In terms of variety of character classes. Based on discord discussions there are likely to be pushed to the alpha. The majority of them are kept under lid although there are systems coming one of those being rumored to be a skill-tree platform for the pets.
I don't care if a person believes this game an MMORPG or not - because my criteria for an MMO is dependent on how a lot of people that you meet while wondering the planet rather than based on amount of people in an instance, I do. It play with anybody or surely does not need you and in that aspect it is closer to a aRPG compared to a MMO.
Personally they could get rid of all MMO parts and I think it would be a match. I play all ARPG as single player anyway so that is a personal preference. I don't mind seeing other people in the fort parts or cities, but I don't need them running around in the very same areas as me. If they had made a co-op for those that want to play others think it could have functioned better than what we have now. I do enjoy the sport however.
Who cares? The one thing that matters is if it interesting enough.The headlining question is moot anyway, since there isn't any consensus about what defines MMO, nevermind whether there is enough of anything constitutes it at any specific game.So much, to me not so much. The first two games were more enjoyable to. Then I played both of those in final release. This one I am experiencing much earlier in evolution. As time continues so, I'll see, but in the moment it is questionable.
I am not keen on their frontier specific gearing system that they have, but more so due as to the nature of the machine. What is available will be hard pressed to meet. InvenPhantasy Star Online 2 Mesetay distance will become a cash cheap PSO2 Meseta thing.
