Story Mission Re-design - Yay or Nay?

[Abriael]

Including non combat classes has absolutely nothing to do with difficulty. They have parley as an option (it's the whole reason why parley exists). They simply wanted to make the missions soloable, since people that don't have the time/will to build an efficent group shouldn't be excluded from the main feature of a final fantasy game (the story).

Remember that this game needs to have a successful PS3 launch to survive in any sizable fashion, and this means appealing to console-oriented Final Fantasy fans (IE a few millions of people very much used to play solo).

They are creating other group oriented content to appease the ones that enjoy that, even if as usual some will argue that *everything* in the game must be designed to fit their own playstyle (even if this means to see the game itself crashing and burning, mind you).
