Level Syncing isn't the best solution

Offically? Because last I checked the company doesn't count it as one.

Final Fantasy TYPE-0 Online was developed by Perfect World, not Square Enix. Square Enix is the publisher. If we count that, then they publish Dragon Quest X as well, and very much consider it an MMO.

As for the TYPE-0 Online itself...Perfect World develops MMO's. Press, reviewers etc. also consider it an MMO. The reason being rather obvious. It's a multiplayer only, server-based game. It's not a peer-to-peer multiplayer. Multiplayer is not "an option" either. It's the entire game. It's no different than FFXIV duties, really.

Though Square Enix DID develop an MMO fantasy team vs team game some time ago...but it failed terribly and was canceled. I don't remember its name anymore though.

Funny since the little I was able to look up about it nothing mentioned it being labeled as a mmo. With Dragon Quest X SE has stated that it's an mmo. Even Yoshida the few times he's talked about it has called it that. Anyway doesn't matter as it's not part of the main topic.

Can you tell me what reviewers specifically are calling it an MMO? All I'm finding is "multiplayer action rpg" which is not an MMO.

Frankly, it's hard to actually find ANYTHING about this game. Most searches seem to show the TYPE-0 or HD versions...It didn't help that somewhere on its way it was rebranded into "Awakening", either.
