I'd say it's because they're too normal. Any time I try to helpfully point out that making an MMO to cater to hardcores is ever doomed to failure because that niche is constantly shrinking as players grow up and get real responsibilities they go nuts and say "THEY ADDED STUFF FOR CASUALS!!" and like sure you can quest and poo poo fine but it's crap compared to a better MMO.

Literally the only things the game has going for it is the aesthetic and character models.

Can't say I'm surprised. People who stick with a bad and dying game until the end are the diehards, the ones who have a lot invested in it and are convinced that it must be something special as a result.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I have a ton of games at my disposal so I don't get invested in MMOs much, but it was your favorite game and then it was going to be taken away from you forever, I can understand getting a little salty about it. There's only a handful of MMOs that really last, and getting invested in one is a risk

If you have it installed or internet fast enough to download it quick and no datacap, you might as well mess around in it for a couple of hours. Plus the Matrix Online ended with literally everyone being sucked into their own rear end and that was hilarious, so sometimes when MMOs end they're funny.

Final Fantasy Legend aka SaGa 1, I think that one was short. Can't remember if the other 2 FF Legend games were short or not.

I think Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was kinda short


Most Ys games are pretty short, especially Ys 1 and 2, though they're intended to be played one right after the other.

Does Half-Minute Hero count? :P

live a live owns, and the structure makes it perfect for shorter bursts of jrpg. you basically just have seven individual pocket sized stories that share a neat battle system. and i think you can save anywhere

Asking for a short jRPG in the first place is incredibly specific, can't fault people for trying to narrow it down as much as they could.

Undertale is also another short JRPG, if you only do one playthrough it takes around ten hours.

Undertale rules. It's best appreciated blind and if the game does its job right, it'll make you understand what you need to do in a replay to get the true ending, and make you want to do that. If ten hours is an actual hard limit and you just want the true ending first go for that reason, you get it by not killing anything all game

Also unrelated but man I love the Resident Evil films. They are just so daft. Watched Afterlife yesterday. Film Wesker is brilliant. Also film Chris Redfield is Wentworth Miller and that is just great too.
