Rise of Agon

VS

Final Fantasy XIV Online

Rise of Agon is an indie sandbox MMORPG released in 2017 as a continuation of Darkfall Online. As a niche game with a small, dedicated community and limited marketing, it is likely to have a low but steady active player base, especially since it is several years old and has not garnered mainstream popularity. Most indie sandbox MMOs of this age average a few hundred daily players.

Final Fantasy XIV Online is a major Square Enix MMORPG, originally released in 2013 but relaunched as "A Realm Reborn." It remains one of the top three global MMOs, consistently receiving major expansions and significant updates, keeping its player base very healthy even over a decade in. Estimated at around 200,000–250,000 daily active players based on recent expansion launches, ongoing events, and visible community activity.
