Honestly the game was perfectly fine without.... On its own merit, it doesnt need co-op, or anything else. Its just a good rpg, and thats more than enough.

I definitely believe you. I had already downloaded this when it came out, I was just waiting for a good downtime to just hammer away at it. But now with this new feature I can get others to experience it with me too. I've also preordered the physical copy of this too.
