a question about the upcoming platoons/squadrins

[Leigaon]

So I apologize for not understanding as quickly as others but from what everyone is saying is that we will be able to train and build a team of our own. Did they say how many we can end up using? I guess it would be 4, to compensate for whatever roll you fill in. I'd like it to be 8, to maybe play in older raids to practice for myself, but maybe that's too much to ask.

That likely won't happen. Or at least not without restrictions. I mean this is still a multiplayer game. We can't have people playing with squadrons instead of socializing.
What I could see is the game requiring you to first clear something with a player party and after that let you do those again with a sqadron.

Just curious, do you think they will leave Roulettes then to keep you in the social loop? Using squadrons to select specific dungeons for you to clear in DF but not roulettes? Didn't they mention them being controlled like a gambit system in XII?
