It's just crazy to me how they had to have had some idea how a mobile XI MMO could work with their attempt with FFXI:Grandmasters
We never saw it globally, but it was an instance based open field game where you could engage mobs out in the fields (including rare NM spawns), which would start a more classic final fantasy fight against the mob that either your party members or other random players could join to fight and get experience/drops
The downside was the game was incredibly predatory with jobs and spells/skills being tired to armor and weapons (which is where the gacha element came into play)
Still, as a concept it was neat
