Sure, here is the extracted text from the image: “` 8:02 HP:1002 1002 Godzilla Godzilla’s Bizarre has activated. ⇒Berry Grub is affected by paralysis! Party Target Berry Grub Solo Godzilla 687/1002 www.famitsu.com “`

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx18

WoW

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

Fishing Angel

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Vegetable Village

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ll put Life Online on hold for now.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx61

MMOs are not popular.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

lol

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is FF14 an MO?

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Virtual Expo

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Godzilla…

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Monster Hunter

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

In the first place, 14 has been in a continuous cycle of controversies, and it no longer has the same vitality as before.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>11

I feel like I burned out with the finale of FFXIV: Endwalker.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

none

Seriously not.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

There is a prejudice that most of them have practically become MO.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ultima Online has recently added a new server with new rules.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

There are almost no advantages to making it an MMO.

It’s just easier and preferred for both users and developers with MO, so there’s no helping it.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

The one shining the brightest right now is Fallout 76.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s all play FF11!

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>18

Wait until the welcome back in May.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>18

I tried to make a comeback once before, but there was so much information to look at.

It’s tough that the only thing I can do is adjust the font and I can’t change the layout of the screen.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

MMOs are all about competing for hunting grounds…

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It depends on how far the online game goes.

For pure PC or console games, it will still be Final Fantasy XIV in Japan, as always.

If it’s limited to MMORPGs, it seems that Black Desert is about the only option left.

On the contrary, if you keep widening the entry point, it might end up like Granblue Fantasy.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

How did the 76, which was so poorly received at first, end up like that before we knew it?

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

Taronji

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx14

Even though I wasn’t talking about the overall genre from the beginning, they come to me as if it’s mandatory to state their opinions!

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There probably aren’t any truly pure MMORPGs anymore.

Even in Black Desert, a system has been created to hunt in your own private space to avoid competition for hunting grounds.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I’m already tired of keeping up with updates.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>26

Social games are marketed like that…

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

76 is a game where all players are residents of light and development was really pushed hard…

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, in an MMO, everyone gathers in the newly implemented area, so other areas inevitably become deserted.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think that since old MMOs have transitioned to MOs, it’s impossible for MMOs themselves to continue.

Even RO is full of instance IDs.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>30

It seems that the demand for sandbox-type games has shifted towards open-world survival games.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

11 was really excellent as a chat tool because it was leisurely even during hunting…

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>31

It was good that we could naturally create a timing to sit down because the healer ran out of MP or the chain was broken.

With the ballad and refresh, that overly sweet thought has disappeared.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

It means massively multiplayer online game.

I think the most popular game in the country is Whiteout Survival.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The question is whether an MMO where players guide monsters to compete for resources instead of PKing, now that it’s too late for fighting over hunting grounds for profit, will become popular.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the past, users complained a lot about development online, but they somehow still enjoyed it.

Now we have to make it user-friendly for all users, or it will quickly become a trending topic for controversy.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Seriously, in games like Hwasaba or base-building games, the element of actually destroying each other has diminished.

It has become a tool for chatting within the guild while carelessly doing bonsai.

It’s like an old MMORPG.

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There’s WoW, right?

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

FF11 was interesting up until around the Zilart expansion.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want there to be economic activities within the online game, even if it’s just in a practical sense.

However, considering fraud prevention, the direction is towards heavily restricting transactions between users.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are there people playing WoW in Japan?

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>43

If we’re talking about whether they exist or not, yes, they do exist, but the portion of people who go out of their way to play English online games is probably just a very small fraction.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>43

Of course there is.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wobble wobble… Has everyone forgotten about MapleStory?

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

I started FF14 last year, and it’s pretty fun as an MMO.

It’s really fun to throw things I’ve made into the market and sell them.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

My first MMO was MapleStory, and back then I was making friends randomly.

I had social skills that seem unimaginable now.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Japanese people are too busy.

If there aren’t a large number of people who can get deeply involved in a half-job, then content that only consumes speed will be more popular.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is this a thread about elderly people who can’t keep up with the times?

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

Monimoni

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

The question is how many MMOs are actually operating properly in the first place.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

First of all, the definition of MMO is quite vague.

If it really has to be that all the people on the server can’t simultaneously see the main content of the game without any limit, then it will be significantly reduced.

Conversely, if having a large number of people playing together is okay, then Granblue Fantasy is basically an MMO.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

The excitement from a while ago has passed, but isn’t it still FF14?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to do it again, but I forgot the account password.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that smartphone games with MMO elements are gaining popularity now.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Everyone is going to GTA because they are looking for a chat-like metaverse box.

How many years has it been?

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>57

It should be over 10 years from the beginning.

It’s an overwhelming online game, just considering the number of player outfits…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

The most recent thing I did was play Chocolate Run, but now I have no motivation to do it again at all…

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve been falling asleep while watching videos of NM hunting in FF11 lately.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

In Granblue Fantasy, there are around 200,000 players who actively participate, but from a player’s perspective, I have some doubts about whether that number is really true.

I think it takes about 1 to 2 hours a day, but are there really people who do that…?

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s been a while since I had a competition for hunting grounds in Sroriba.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

Honestly, I don’t really understand the differences, and I don’t care whether it’s MO or not.

Is it no longer popular to sit down and use a PC or something like that?

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>62

If that’s the case, I think FF14 has way more people than older online games.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

I see.

Awesome, FF14!

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>62

It may not be a huge trend, but it definitely feels like there are a few people who are certainly doing it.

Big ones like FF14 and WoW.

In the “no substitute” category, there are games like UO and EVE.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not popular, so everyone is engrossed in their smartphones.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

MMOs that you can log into all day and play continuously are probably not in line with the times anymore, so they don’t become popular.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

FF14 had 220,000 players in Japan and about 600,000 worldwide who cleared the main quest within 5 months of the latest expansion’s release.

If we’re talking about online games played on PCs in Japan, it might be the top choice.

If you mix in games like Genshin Impact and Monster Hunter that also have multiplayer, it might get confusing.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>67

It’s amazing how much it’s grown since early FF11, where only a very small number of people could even access the additional areas of the expansion pack…

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of ads for LOL on YouTube.

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Even if it seems that the MMO population was large when I was playing during its popularity, in reality, it may not have been that many.

There were probably quite a few vendors mixed in…

I think it’s impressive that FF14 is showing numbers while also properly working on its measures.

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>70

A video of random number characters falling from the sky in some game was quite terrifying.

That’s all bots…

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

The MMO that Japanese people seem to play the most is Granblue Fantasy.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Personally, I think the game part can be basic MO, but a session like a common lobby with a very high player limit would be fun as a pseudo-MMO.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wow, Blue Protocol was really popular!

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

>>74

The first movement gathered several hundred thousand, so it was seriously amazing.

I think I could have aimed for the top if the content had been there.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard that you can become a ghoul at 76, so I’m curious.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

It doesn’t seem like the game is designed for players to stick around for long periods of time.

There were various things in the past.

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I quit because my account was hacked.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are still fossils out there who lower FF11 to level up in FF14.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>82

Well, there are more people who consider the current FF11 to be a conscious existence.

I think it’s outdated to hold onto that idea…

I used to play 11 a long time ago and I still occasionally watch live streams and videos, but I try not to look at the view counts.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

Will NGS become MO?

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>85

The distinction between MO and MMO is now somewhat blurred, making it a bit difficult to differentiate strictly.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aren’t you a member of the a◯l community?

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s not that you can’t have your own opinion.

There is no thinking brain…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Albion Online…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s play Knight Online!!!

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if there are still quite a few people in Black Desert.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>95

Even now, it doesn’t look like a game title, Black Desert.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>95

I feel like there might be several thousand people.

I don’t think there are tens of thousands.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to play a hack-and-slash-like MMO similar to the early Red Stone again.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>96

There is Diablo 4 over there.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>97

I played D4 and now I’m playing PoE2 0.2, but I want to feed my familiar some chili peppers!!

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

When FF16 was released

I saw the screen of FF11 for the first time in about 20 years during a virtual grandmother’s stream.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

“I think in Japan, there are only Final Fantasy XIV and XI left that are ‘monthly subscription’, ‘assuming long-term play’, ‘MMO’, and ‘RPG’.”

Nowadays, online titles are common, but it’s normal to play a game intensively for a short period and then move on to the next title.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>109

Surprisingly, classic titles are still around.

I don’t know if there are people there.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are probably many erotic CG creators.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

Monthly subscription games aren’t popular right now, huh?

It’s mostly buy-to-own or free-to-play.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

I used to play Guild Wars a bit in the past.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the sense of fundamental role-playing

Anonymous message boards might be the real MMO.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

Although it’s MO, I was slightly shocked that FEZ is dead.

132: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Shall we talk about MMOs…?

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>132

The only thing I can say is that Blue Protocol was the biggest highlight recently.

I think it’s amazing that some things that have been around since the past are still continuing… right?

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>140

There’s a video of someone who kept streaming until the last moment, and their voice gradually became more and more tearful…

Well… I’ve ended up with an erection… heh heh heh…

135: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I used to play WoW.

With this character’s appearance being like FF11, I can really conquer the world! I was just chatting while playing as a cow warrior…

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

Doraten is

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>136

I don’t understand at all because I don’t listen to what the people who are doing it say.

137: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

There are a lot of unknown MMOs on smartphones, right?

I wonder if there are people around, but I’m not motivated to find out.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

If Aralre isn’t properly equipped, the matching will be bad.

This is actually an incident in reverse.

I feel like that was improved because beginners weren’t matching in Alalreme since Souten.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

At the level of being an internet old-timer, C21 and MoE occasionally get threads started.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mobile online games tend to fall behind in terms of operability compared to what you need to do, leading to players dropping out.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

I might not want to spend a lot of effort and time competing with others for hunting grounds in online games anymore.

I used to enjoy the hassle back in the day.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tales Weaver is still going strong, huh?

Last year they held a 20th anniversary event…

147: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I don’t want connections or stories between players; I just want to play a game where I can endlessly level up or hunt for drops, and the characters are cute.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>147

Isn’t it good to play solo and grind for loot?

Let’s just share strategy tips and the market online.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

I understand that just being a smartphone game makes you lose half your motivation.

I understand, but I wonder why even I don’t know.

150: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I used to feel like I was hunting all the time, but it was just that the experience of 2-3 hours as a student is completely different from 2-3 hours as a working adult.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

I only know of DQ10 where players are still leveling up by defeating enemies in hunting grounds.

I came across a website discussing hourly wages in the millions, which made me feel nostalgic.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

The face of NGS has changed from a strong personality to a more generally cute appearance, which makes me a little curious.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was interesting that in Dragon Quest 10, the tank pushes forward to protect the backline.

155: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The old rare hunting in PSO2 was the most fun.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

The reason there’s nothing to talk about besides gossip and numbers is that there aren’t enough features to play the game.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Arad Senki is quite long, and recently there’s been a spin-off death game, so I wonder if there are many people playing it.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>158

I thought that people in China and Korea tend to stick with a title for a long time.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

C21 is definitely about to die soon.

162: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>159

Why are they even alive?

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>162

I think it’s already a matter of pride, just like with Getamped2.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

If NGS and Dragon Quest 10 are that high in ranking, do they have hundreds of thousands of active players?

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>161

Basically, it’s all private.

The active number of FF14 here is also from volunteer efforts.

The person who measured it said that in reality, there is approximately a ±300,000 fluctuation that the volunteers have measured.

181: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>177

I don’t know the method, but please tell them not to measure with something that has such a wide range.

196: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>177

I understand that the actual numbers increase because non-public entities and Chinese corporations are not counted, but why do they decrease?

Is it something like a disposable character for sticking?

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

I do not recommend FF14.

Spending all the money on advertising while the content is shallow and lacks substance.

The time spent will probably turn into garbage rather than becoming a memory.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

The time when I was playing RO for free was fresh and interesting.

Around the year 2000?

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if there will be a Diablo with a Japanese-style graphics skin.

169: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Always being connected for party play is too bothersome and it’s tough right now.

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t think of any cute character style hack-and-slash games right off the bat…

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I think about doing all the operations and typing on a small screen, I wonder if it’s really okay for a smartphone MMO.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to play online games, but to be honest, I don’t want to interact directly with other players.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>172

I gather drop items little by little and sell them to the merchant.

I like that sort of thing.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

I sometimes think that mobile MMOs are based on emulation.

The screen is too small.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

A nameless person was setting up an RO emulation server.

Could it be that was a bad one?

178: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>174

“I’m sure it wasn’t leaked; it was probably just made by volunteers on their own, so there’s no room for complaints as long as they don’t charge money.”

I didn’t leak anything, you know.

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was completely satisfied with the conclusion in FF14’s Endwalker, and since there is no character build, I didn’t continue even after buying the gold.

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

14-chan could level up solo, so it was easygoing and nice.

202: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>176

Now you can go solo in dungeons with NPCs!

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

In contrast to that, EVE would be like a piece of trash in the vast universe if it doesn’t get wrapped up in something long, which is completely opposite to the trend…

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

14 is when Orshfan died, and I stopped adventuring.

191: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>180

At that stage, you were the only decent ally, and I completely understand how you feel; I was also complaining while going through it after dying.

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

Arad is going to expand into various fields beyond gaming, including video and comics.

I guess they want it to feel like LOL.

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, I haven’t read any of the original Rune’s children after Boris from Tales Weaver…

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t want to get too deeply involved, but I’d like to feel a moderate connection with others.

197: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>185

It’s the same as an anonymous forum.

I’m not looking for the typical scenario where we join a guild and become close friends even off the game…

A loose connection is just fine.

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

I just left Maple M and dedicated hunting grounds unattended, so I was left wondering what I should do… and that was the end of it.

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

oi

Hey

Don’t send (it).

Side

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>187

Sorry ^^;

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

190: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s nice to have other PCs in the city, making it lively.

192: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a blessing that sideways hitting has become a thing of the past.

193: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with that.

203: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>193

Oh, misspell.

195: Japan Otaku Reviews

The mobile versions of past MMOs allow for auto-hunting, so you can just drop the app, making it no different from something like “Hajimari no Gakkou.”

201: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>195

I wonder if there won’t be times anymore when I come back home and find I’ve died from a branch attack while checking the screen…

198: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to play Metal Max online in a good way.

I definitely won’t feel good about it, so I don’t need it.

199: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

🟡💥

200: Japan Otaku Reviews

Dragon Quest 10 seems to have high difficulty videos that ultimately just avoid AOE attacks, so I wonder if Square Enix hasn’t changed anything after all.
