And what if I did? Really the only reason why I play at all is to play with my partner who lives somewhere else. It lets us hang out together as close to in-person as possible. It also allows us to have something to do with our friends who also live in other places. I like FF as a franchise, but I don't usually play MMOs completely solo.

I don't know if you're aware, but MMO stands for "massive multiplayer online", like, specifically based on being around other players. It's not just fighting enemies with other people. And in other MMOs there are servers actually dedicated to roleplaying (not just player defined). How do you explain that?
