I’m on the hunt for a single-player game that feels like a knockoff of Final Fantasy XIV. Ideally, I’m looking for suggestions for games available on PS4, PS5, or PC (including Steam Deck). Retro console options would be cool too, but I think that’s a long shot. I’d love something that really captures the essence of FFXIV, making you think, “Wow, this is totally inspired by it!”

I would suggest checking out Final Fantasy XII or XVI. They both have some elements that FFXIV fans might appreciate, even if they’re not exact matches.
If you’re after something reminiscent of FFXIV, have you tried Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning? It has a bit of that offline MMO vibe and visually feels similar to some Final Fantasy titles.
That’s decent, but it doesn’t really nail that FFXIV experience for me. I think Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization is closer, though I wasn’t a fan because of the character customization.
Kingdoms of Amalur is definitely like an offline MMORPG, but I see your point about it not being a true knockoff of FFXIV. It’s worth a try if you’re okay with that.
True, but they don’t really give off the same vibe as FFXIV. Plus, the gameplay is quite different.
