Granado Espada Bot
There's this old MMO called Granado Espada where you control 3 characters. I'm interested in this style of game be it MMO or RPG.
The world was named Granado Espada after its discoverer. Oporuto threw all their economic resources into the development of the new world, and spent their country into bankruptcy. Nearby Vespanola relieved the country's debts, and in the process annexed all of Oporuto's holdings in Orpesia and Granado Espada.
It seems way more complex and fulfilling than controlling one. However I'm not interested in games where you can pause whenever you want to change things (like the most popular crpgs like Pillars of Eternity). I'm looking for a fully real time mmo or rpg where you basically control multiple characters fulfilling all roles of tank/dps/healer. Are there any other options besides Granado Espada? Fully controlling several characters simultaneously in real time sounds impractical unless there isn't very much to control.
My first thought was Atlantica, in which you control nine characters at a time. It's turn-based, but each side gets 30 seconds for a turn, so you don't get to pause it and change everything. There's also Guild Wars 1 as Caffynated said, in which you directly control one character and AI controls other characters in your party. You can have some control over your heroes, but you don't customarily micromanage every single movement and skill usage of them.
GW1 doesn't have tanks, though. To go in a different direction, there's the Lu/Ciel character in Elsword. It's two separate characters, one of which is active at a time, but you switch between them often. The inactive character has mana recharge much faster than the active character, so you have one character use skills to burn through his mana, then switch to the other that now has full mana and repeat.
