(I believe Stormblood even has one or two Trials that are literally impossible without more than one person, and that's just the Normal versions.)
Hell, having a journal full of Endwalker/Dawntrail Extremes isn't helpful no matter where I am in the MSQ as I couldn't feasibly do them regardless. Bad enough getting strangled by the RNG of getting lines, or how Second Chances don't come easily even on Dynamis, but I'll be stuck redoing the oldest content anyway because there comes a hard cut-off point of what I can actually do no matter what I've unlocked.
