    Will there be future low man content?

    Hello, ive been a long time casual ffxi player off and on since 2004. And during that time ive always enjoyed doing content with a small group of friends (3-6 people). There wasnt that much content that supported that until abyssea. Abyssea is what brought me back in 2011 from a 3 year break because i had heard that most things within the event could be done with just a few people.

    Well abyssea has been out for some time now, and im far from being done with getting gear or even completing my first emp weapon at this point. I have however beaten the content itself and gotten a majority of the good atmas.

    I was wondering besides revamping some of the old events to be lowman (dynamis revamp has been great so far, i never got to experience the content until now thanks SE) will there be any new kind of new lowman content for me and my friends?

    Just a shameless plug: a revamp of campaign would be great because i missed out on doing alot of the wotg campaign stuff when it was fresh.

    Well Nyzul and Assault are still for 3-6 people!

    They're also making a new variant of Nyzul, and adjusting WoE a bit. Some of the Walk of Echoes walks can be done with six people. And if your group is all from the same nation and are super dedicated you can actually take a few areas if you work at it as a team, but that's probably not what you mean.

    Limbus and a good chunk of the Sea/Sky stuff can be done with six people or less as well.

    Ya from what i can tell it is in the works for sky/sea and stuff like that to be revamped into low man content for the casual player like the limbus and einherjar revamp that is incoming. But im more of asking will the dev team spend any time making new lowman content like they did with abyssea that has a path of gear progression for lv 99s.

    Im not really asking for gear that is superior or equal to content for 18 people, rather just asking for possibly some side-grades at most.

    Seems like the overall plan is to revive alliance style content, voidwatch and the upcoming Legion is a good example. Most of the lawman contents are the older ones and abyssea. Doesn't seem like they are too big on the low man content anymore and focusing on the alliance style, at least for now.

    Thats all fine and dandy, i still have plenty of that left to do but that not really what im talking about. Im wondering if future content will be created lets say akin to abyssea that provides some additional gear progression for low man groups, or something to that effect.

    Just pointing out im not talking about content currently in game, im asking about future content.

    Not complaining, just inquiring about future updates.

    I'd hold opinion on Nyzul gear until it's actually on the live servers. Overall, the limitations imposed by the Assault Tag system also put up a bit of a roadblock for those who may largely be done with their own Abyssea needs, but have no interest in Voidwatch or Legion. Wanting more low-man friendly content is a valid concern when you're mostly looking at a daily half hour tops of pseudo-fresh content.

    They don't really know what they want to do, we have had so many differing messages over the last coupe of years. I still remember the announcement of the increase in level cap so that content could be done with fewer players due to a smaller playerbase and easy of access to content, larger buffs with JA and gear making each player stronger to make fights in smaller groups work better...now it's going back to a small cog in a large machine thinking with stuff like Legion.

    I think Legion will be a flop personally, I don't think the desire is there among enough players to put up with thsi kind of heavily structured large player content again. We will see I guess.
