Request: I don't want to solo the main scenario

[ArngrimValeth]

[...] and the main scenario is exactly the right spot for that.

Oh I see, having to fight Garlean officers, uncover great secrets and save the world can only be done by one person in Eorzea. One person whose ass is always saved by his/her companion or the Circle of Knowing...

I think the issue is the staging of the main scenario quests. First, you feel like being the ONLY one using the echo and moving your ass for the great good of Eorzea (In my opinion you should be one of the people trying to save the world and not The One).

Sure, they should put main quests that you can achieve alone... But with content meant to be done solo (story-wise). And have group quests as conclusion of the story arc for exemple or you could do a parallel quest if you're in a party.

As long as we have the option to choose and logical events in those quests I guess it should be alright. I'm not fond of paying monthly for a great story, solo, in a MMORPG.

Oh, definitely- I'm just saying, the main story as it is has the same feel of the console offline games, hell it'd feel just plain weird to have more than one character 'main character'-ing that. For me it feels like it's the perfect spot for the solo-level quests to be from. Also I'm figuring out that the Main Quest is probably going to be less related to the Garleans THEMSELVES and more related to the REASON they're here. Whereas the GC questlines are far more related to the entire war thing than the reason itself the Garleans are interested in Eorzea.

Edit: Ohai, seems like I need to learn to read every post before answering. LillithaFenimore apparently is better at language than I am and said what I wanted to mean

Well... In my opinion this is an issue for a MMORPG. I'm alright with solo content, having the possibility to do things on your own and at your own pace. But in a game where you have to interact with people I would find more logical to have story content which take into account the fact that you're not alone here.

Like what LillithaFenimore said, It would be great to have scaled content according to if you're a soloer or in a group. But the story aspect of the quest should be adapted for soloer.

I don't think they planned to have FFXIV played like solo game and at the same time like a MMORPG according to your taste. As I see it it would be more like adding the possibility to make your character evolve (gears / story / etc.) as a soloer in a dynamic and evolving world.
