4 man content sounds nice...especially with how small the population has become. I prefer low manning stuff.

This sounds good to me, because options are awesome. :) Anyone arguing that options aren't awesome should try playing without them. It's not so much fun, which is what this is all about, yeah?

4 People for a primal fight are you joking? what is yoshi-p doing? it super easy to get 8 people as it is -.- come on now stop trying to make this causal if people going to complain about light content then make light content don't make the content that is hard like primal into a easy fight come on now. It's not like i dislike option but something was hard then you going to make it easy what the point?

Yoshi-p said he also going to make it so the 1 free company to kill the primal can Summon it are you going to make it so you have to kill the 8man and not the 4man? or yoshi-p did not think about that and just said i don't feel like making some light party content let make high level content and then allow you to powerlevel and gain 1-50 within 2-5days when he himself said it should take a casual at least 3month.

I just hope this does not become a habit of doing this Endgame release need 18 people 3-4month later you need 8people that would be lame just please don't make this a habit just because there no time for light party content.

You think all the content is going to become super easy with 4 people? You only have 4 classes/jobs able to go into these dungeons. WAIT to see how they implement before all you people start freaking out.

On top of that, it's really hard sometimes to get people for certain fights, and sometimes the smaller content requires more skill from the little people you have. Just wait and see....

I'm really happy for this, because no one does DH anymore.

I dont think those were intended gameplay mechanics, just players trying to blast through to beat the time.

I want to know how they intended it to work for speedrun then... I hate that run thru and train everything technique but am unsure how to do it fast enough for 5th chest any other way...

Personally I don't mind the idea of making 8 man stuff open to small parties after it has been out for awhile and/or making lite versions of the content for smaller parties. That said, the work needs to = the reward and 8 person rewards should always be > small groups.

Stop ZenaQQing.

Not 20 mins ago I had a group dissolve out of not finding enough people for it.

Also sadly 1.20 seems to have driven more people away, population seems to be in an all time low... Just wait until charging starts...

Yea, I had in mind different content special just for light pt with different items... >_<

Devs, you should add new content for 4/4 party instead of making ifrit's and mog or dh's - light versions. Does not make sense.

I think there should be high lvl "instanced" content for both type of parties for light and full, but not the same. Especially with same rewards.

Why base rewards on number of PT members? If they can balance it so difficulty is around the same (failure rate is similar to the 8 man version's) rewards should be the same too.

Hard as it is I wish they could do proper balancing for anywhere between 4 and 8 people...
