Is this always online?

Will there be a forced online even to play with CPUS and the story?

EDIT: confirmed always online. Even in the story :(

Only the Story is Offline. This is a Multiplayer focused Game.

I noticed a connecting on new game so I'm really concerned this is always online. Just look at the crew and crew 2. Not having access to multilayer portions even though there is offline CPU is also really concerning

I am concerned because the game can be stopped from being playable at any time.

Also do you know why beta progress didn't transfer?

Just have to hope that, if not at launch, a private lobby mode gets added so you can play the online content with just friends/cpus.

- Stopping that one group/player from rushing the main objective on coop quests so you can actually explore (or heaven forbid even get to the final boss) before its killed already.

- Stopping players from interfering with quests or a field boss while your playing freeroam.

- Play the 20 man raids and be able to set your party so there aren't any multiple characters in the raid group?

There's many reasons for them to add it. Just don't give up hope.

Games definitely always online. So dissapointing it'll be shut down on a whim just like the crew and crew 2 whenever the devs feel like it. Always online is a curse

Confirming its always online. Been logged out multiple times mid cutscene now. I cannot BELIEVE they made this always online

People need to do their freaking research.
Maybe instead of complaining AFTER you bought the game, find out BEFORE you buy if the game will need a constant online connection.
The games store page will ALWAYS have that info.
The words Online Co-op should be your indicator.

Always online and you're paying for a revocable game license.

With the way live service games have been going recently, I do have my concerns about the games longevity.

If you look at the older SAO games, their online servers are still up even though the multiplayer is pretty much dead in them.

The difference is they can be PLAYED offline. They'll always be playable forever thanks to that. This game will not be
