    I don't think the maps should be attempted alone. At the very least bring a friend and both of your chocobos until SE decides to label the maps (party/solo for alex) or nerf them altogether.

    This isn't solo fantasy XIV. If you want to solo, XI has a whole host of NPC companions you can call now. I'm glad we're legitimately having to do things in at least small groups on the open world.

    I missed them since 1.0

    I have no idea where are they now... probably dead?

    I agree with this. If you want to play a solo game, go play an older FF game. idk who in the right mind would attempt a map for the first time solo not knowing what to expect. If you've done a map previously, then you should know to at least bring another person with you along with chocobos to avoid any accidental wipes. Rather than complain on the forum, just learn from your mistake moving forward and don't do it alone next time. Yeah it's possible, but why take that risk? Also there are other weapons available. The zodiac quest obviously isn't for everybody. I don't understand why people complain and assume the content was made for them, lol. There are thousands of players and they are trying to offer different weapon paths that cater to different groups of people...soldiery for casuals, zodiac for grinders, leviathan for grinders that want a bit of a challenge, and coils for the hardcore raiders.

    YoshiP has told the public ARR was designed as a SOLOable game.
    Content Finder was made to serve this purpose,
    a player should not need to spend thier friend's time for his own progression.

    You may disagree, but that was what YoshiP said previously. ^^;

    Some of it is soloable, yes, but not the ENTIRE game, lol. To believe that nonsense would be silly. This is an MMORPG after all.

    Few notes:
    Many have already noted, the maps ARE soloable. Perhaps YOU can't solo it, but it is possible to do so.

    Second, what Yoshi says isn't anywhere near the same as what actually happens.

    Until now there have been mainly two means of progression: the first being defeating powerful enemies in end-game content to obtain high-item-level equipment, and the second being collecting Allagan tomestones to purchase gear. The Zodiac Weapons do not have the restrictions of these two methods, but are designed to take a long time to complete.
    Current Tome Requirements for Zodiac Weapons:
    225+900+13500+1500= 16125
    Additionally: Post limits are, flat-out, completely idiotic. 1k char limit's stupid to begin with but 20 posts a day? Seriously? What the hell SE?

    Agree with you, but i was not the one have problem to solo it ^^;
    I just doubt to the idea that the fight requires a group as it is a mmo, bcoz:
    1. the maps are soloable as many have already noted
    2. the design should let players solo it as the idea brought to us by YoishiP
