Expansion hiccups that needs to be avoided

[Felis]

I've heard before that Monks have a hard time soloing content, but even if I have 6 enemies on me as a Bard, they can't kill me if they only have melee attacks. Heck, if they're casters, then I can just buff and down them easily. People in 130 gear should not be worried at all about the new enemies lol. The only people who will have trouble will be those averaging ilevel 100.

Like I said, in the new zones. Not in the old

By the way, for someone who's just level 50, is there still a feeling of being able to explore around all of the connected areas right away?

Yoshida: You can if you want, but there won't be anything going on so you might as well go in order (laughs). Also, the monsters that appear in the field areas of Ishgard are quite a bit stronger than enemies of the same level range before. In other words, even if you're the same level as the enemy you're fighting, if you got attacked by two at once, you probably wouldn't win unless you went all out with all of your buffs at the same time. So there will be situations where you'll have to choose whether to fight or flee.

When we were playing the test version, even at level 60 and item level 170, it seemed like it would be unreasonable to fight three or more monsters at once.

Yoshida: We've also made adjustments to the sensing range of enemies, using the beast tribe strongholds as a point of reference. For players until now, I think there was a point of view that you could just run through enemies on your mount even if you get attacked, but then it would be a disaster in beast tribe areas (laughs). So it's recommended that you cooperate with players around and move through the enemies one by one.
