In 2005 I was playing Final Fantasy XI Online and met a group of 5 Japanese players in an expansion area. We wound up partying together for 8 hours straight. They all spoke English in chat for my sake, and we had an incredible rhythm together. We discussed new anime and a few English cartoons that had recently made it to Japan. We took a selfie together at the end of the 8 hours. It was the best gaming experience of my life. I'll never forget it.
That entire game was just forever chasing the high you got from that one time you had a really good party. I'm already finding myself glossing over the fact that 99% of them were awful and you only settled for them because you didn't want to wait around another 30 minutes for chance of a better one.
