JP Side does talk about solo being much harder and SE probably wants them to start partying, but overall they are trying to adapt to it as fast as possible. I posted on my thread also but they do talk about the queue problem where it's being a problem for some when you can't stack actions but game still lets you press enter on action and the target disappears making it hard to get used to the timing. Also they do talk about leve's being bit too hard for solo specially the GC one with level 30 because of the amount of mob/links you get.

Another one is regarding PL although they are ok with the PL system they agree it's bit too much it defeats YoshiP's goal of being capped with 1 class over 2-3 month. No one expected it to be where you can PL and get 50 in 1-2 week lol.

Personally I'm solo/duo player and I did pretty bad with the first mob I tested on my Pug50, tried level 56 eft and almost died since I was fighting just like I used to not knowing the cure rate sucks compared to how much HP I have now lol But reading what YoshiP said about materia, and looking at the JP materia thread (talking about which materias give what stats, and them testing putting 2 IV materias on NQ/HQ gears and stuff) it seems like if you do it right you can pretty much solo without any problem imo. Just need to get used to the new system.
