I don't mean to be rude in anyway, but I think some of you guys never played other MMORPGs. FFXI was my first MMO as well but, I played others like EVE Online, Star Trek Online, Aion, and Lineage II. None of which forces you to party for the main story campaign. Truth be told, they're all MMORPGs too, so when somebody say MMO is for none solo that is just bs. Yes of course there is content for party, just want to make that clear.
