Looking for coop RPGs (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm looking for RPGs to play with friends where each player has different roles and you need to cooperate to progress.

We tried playing MMOs but my friends won't play on their own so they don't work (especially with ffxiv as the msq is not at all "coopable"); the subscription would also be a dealbreaker. Do you know of anything with similar gameplay that is playable entirely in coop?

We enjoyed Monster Hunter World (but not Rise), although there's not much actual cooperation as there are few interactions in combat.

The only game I found that seems it might be what I'm looking for is the original Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, but we can't get it to work online (dolphin randomly freezes with netplay).

Guild wars 2! Giant map to explore and alright story in the free to play part.

Even if you pick different backrounds and race you can port to the other starting maps and the story connects everything later on.

It also gets more difficult so dont think it is always easy like in the starter zones.

And it is one of the old school f2ps thats still good without paying if you wanna try it out.

But if you spend money on an expac you keep it and dont have to pay for a savegame like WoW.

One of the rare MMOs that values your time and money.

Guild Wars2 is very good.

It downscales your level if you go back to older areas, so you can play with lower level friends. (Though it's still pretty generous, and the high level friends will be more effective). So if your friends aren't playing much, you can still coop with them when they do play.

There's a lot of content. Most of the maps have stuff just happening. There's also instanced content for 5, 10, or ... I think private convergences can go up to 20?

There's not really a gear grind. When you hit max level (which is pretty easy) good-enough gear is very easy to get. A smidge better than that is a little expensive but still very feasible. The fanciest gear is numerically the same, but let's you reskin and swap stats for free, which is nice.
