Infinity Nikki is the most "alive" world I have played recently. Not really surprising having top talent from Zelda and TW3.
There are tons of NPCs with night/day routines in each town doing a huge variety of activities. A good portion of them have storylines and side-quests. Besides, they aren't always located in the same places. Some travel to other towns or disappear for some time and then tell you where they have been in random dialogues.
Also, the game takes advantage of being a live service. Constant updates bring new people to towns, adding more variety and seasonality. In the New Year event, there was a ship from other region docked, and the locals reacted to it, mingling with the newcomers. Now the ship is gone and everything has returned to normal, but there are a few changes here and there due to that visit. A new area that has been sealed off for two months recently opened up, with a new story and people around it.
