all this talk bout solo and party play and right now party play is almost absolete in the game, no one wants to party with more then 3-4people outside of leves, and getting 3-4people usually takes forever and almost not worth trying. if the game is gonna be solo and party play they need to make party play the 8players kind not some dinky 3-4people, or at the very least not make it so 8people isn't better then solo or 3-4people or no one will want to do it. if u don't think u'll get bored solo'ing everything for 3-5years? u must share what drugs u taking while playing with me. by the time everyone gets one max class they will be ready for a new game, it takes long time to hit max on a ff mmo. took over year for my first in ffxi, and though i hit 50 on con and almost on thm, it has been 6months, but we are not at max this is probably a half way point with all the updates and raising our caps. i can't imagin solo'ing all that or even tiny group grinding and not wanting to be leveling another after. it was always the party play that kept me going like probably alot of players.
