Phantasy Star Online 2

Familiars.io is an indie adventure RPG released in 2020 on multiple platforms, developed by a small creator. While it has some cult following due to its similarities to classic Pokémon-style games and was notable when launched for being a lightweight online creature collector, its player base has remained small. Most indie browser RPGs of this style outside major platforms rarely sustain large daily numbers long-term, especially four years after release without ongoing active marketing or major updates.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is a well-known action MMORPG developed by Sega, originally released in 2012. The game received major updates and a Western launch (including the New Genesis relaunch), bolstering engagement. However, as it is over a decade old, its global daily active players have significantly declined from its peak, likely around 25,000 based on historical trends for long-running MMOs with niche but loyal player bases.
