The idea is to draw in anxious players who think they want to play solo (there are many of these), then as they go through the story solo they will often get pulled into the social aspect of the game by talking to people outside of dungeons, getting invited to an FC or the Novice Network.

There are actually a lot of these players, who avoid this game because of the multiplayer aspects but still play the other FFs. It's actually clever to draw them in this way, because a lot of people who were once solo players just needed the push to interact with others. And drawing them in with solo content can work.

Dawntrail is going to focus on multiplayer MMORPG content anyway, including field operations, large-scale raids and social interaction in cosmic exploration like there was with The Firmament. But it will maintain the solo stuff (Duty Support and variant dungeons) alongside it.
