Content density is what matters. Something that the retarded anti-grind people are unable to grasp.



Yeah, fortunately it's not mandatory.
Yes it's not mandatory and yes content density does matter and, finally, yes every rpg has to have some sort of grind, but there's a difference between a necessary grind and a painful, wasteful grind. FF11 undoubtedly had plenty of the latter.

Despite group play not being mandatory it is CLEARLY advantageous to the point where I consider solo play nonexistant in this game. People are dissapointed because on several accounts yoshida discussed making the game a hybrid, for any playstyle really.

How can anyone enjoy this content density you speak of if they can't get to it and have a lifestyle that doesn't cater to hours of gameplay in a week? Solo play should be inferior, progression wise, to group play but not this much.
