Players interested in Solo Play.

Well i have solo'd many of the large boss fates by myself with my chocobo
The Lightning fates were a blast
Having solo dungeons- not sure it would work at all
Would us DPS still have long wait times? lol

I would like a solo mode for dungeons as well. The story is always giving you credit for going in solo to begin with. Give us a chance to test it.

that is part of the story quest that push me the wrong way. We are mostly pictured to be soloing the storyline but parts we are meant to solo story wise we are going in as a group.

Only time the story places our character fighting with other Adventurers is during the the final story dungeon.

(I still think they need to have the default Heroes of Light NPCs as default NPCs we see when we play those Group Cutscenes in our Cutscene book. It feels strange watching cutscenes that are designed for 8 people but only our characters are shown in the Book of Cutscenes.)

Have you tried soloing the 8 man treasure maps yet? I have done them with 3 people easily, 2 seems totally doable, solo would be a great challenge if it's possible..

You realize all that crap you soloed in FFXI was after it was irrelevant? It used to take full alliances to beat that stuff.

You could always try to solo level 50 FATE bosses. Not so hard as a SMN.

In FFXI whenever i am bored, i use to solo Sky god drops, or spawn Genbu(even if it took 1:30 hrs to solo him) and solo him, Solo Charybdis for my Joyeuse, Solo'd Bune on Red Mage for my Boomerang, even solo Adamantoise for that 0.1% egg drop.

F.A.T.E Bosses are what NM's are in FFXI, they are open world content the only differences are:
- You get a visual indicator on your map when it's spawned.
- You don't get "phat lootz" from them.
- They spawn more often.

Also, about your solo'ing sky gods, how many years did it take you to get to that point? I played 11 from NA launch until shortly before they raised the level cap above 75. And even then there were barely a handful of folks who could pull off solo'ing just some of the sky gods. It defiantly didn't happen on a regular basis around the time I was playing.

It was irrelevant, i quit FFXI couple of months before they raised cap, yeah im talking about the old days, where only few people had the skill to solo things. Avesta days(if u know who he was).

Its about challenge, loot from FFXIV does not feel special, even a full set of allagan. This is about working toward something hard and finishing it. FATE are a joke, i can solo FATE on BRD alll day long, no worry of dying and that job does not even have any healing spells except 500hp second wind.

Only few FATE that worth it are still possible, they just have more hp but weak as hell. Some have people camping them for exp.

Soloing sky God(well genbu) was back in 2007, it was still 75 cap. i did it on my MNK the week after getting black belt.


Never touched that game since level 75 cap raise. I like to remember it as a good game when i quit. lol

Genbu and some trigger drop NMs were doable by RDMs pretty early on Grav/DoT/Kite method. The problem, got 1hr+ per fight to do it and piss off every other LS in Sky during that time locking them from doing their content?

On Ninja, I got my Joyeuse off Charybdis at 75 with an Evasion build solo CoP era aka not sub DNC.

I liked solo fights here and there for the challenge and testing out your (time-sink) earned gear + skill.

They are solo for life. All the BST i met are rich as hell tho, because they get all the drops, including Kindred Seals and Beastmen Seals from mobs since they solo 99% of the time.
