State of the Game: Quality of Life Adjustments for Players with Friends

3. Upgrade Single Player fights into Party based fights if the player wishes
It would be nice if these single player battles that FFXIV has in the main storyline where to be opened to allow for multiple people to run the fight. Right now it's a bit of a disconnect that as we help players through the main story, there are always those times where you have to drop party to run a specific fight. It would be nice if a player could take others into these fights, and if they did, just scale the enemies up in terms of difficulty and stats.

I've said this since 1.0 to be honest. It's an MMOplayers want to experience the stories with there friends..

The added advantage of allowing this would be reducing server load as well.

If you look at 4.0 and the hundreds of people trying to click that npc to get into the cold steel instance because they had to go in alone. How reduced would the server load be if players could do that fights in groups. My friends and I would be doing that fight in one instance not 6 or 7 separate ones. That would be a significant reduction on server load.

It would also be bucket loads more fun to do all of those instances with friends

People have requested the ability to re-do these fights, this would also allow for that to happen.
