This is not an mmo...

There are some valid points in his statement. A lot of activities in this game is not team based. The story is solo only. Crafting is solo. FATE is a group event but not a team event. Only dungeon stuff is team based.

Even then, there is no need to talk to anyone, we have Duty Finder with people across the worlds, we will never them again.
Kinda sucks when you have cool people and seem friendly and fun to be with.
At least to avoid DF fears, FC are there to help. GW2 held your hand so badly esp with no Trinity bleh.
Zero social aspect in that sad sad of a game. At least they tried to be different.

Have you completed the story? Clearly not, because you can't do that solo.

Most of the story instances must be done solo. Only the dungeons and Primal instances are not.

My Free Company of over 200 members begs to differ.

So are fps games mmos because I can play WITH more people on a fps than this game.

Dungeons are part of the story. Please elaborate. Did I miss something here?

Not in the same zone you can't unless you talk about Planetside 2... surprise surprise... Planetside 2 is a MMOFPS.

Many would argue that being forced to mingle or group in pretty much everything (including crafting) is a bad thing. The option to socialize is of the players initiative. We're human beings, meaning we are capable of social interaction. No one is to blame for this MMO feeling like a single-player game but the players themselves. If you don't like to group with people, as in you don't ACTIVELY try to socialize or group with friends (even for little things like exploring an area), then you've effectively ignored the multiplayer aspect and made the game into a single-player one.

Final Fantasy is a single player game series with a FEW (i can only think of 4 total off the top of my head [FFXI, FFXIV, Crystal Chronicles, FFIII for DS] ) multiplayer games tossed in

Yoshi-P already stated that he was going to keep the SINGLE PLAYER aspect of the Final Fantasy series IN TACT for FFXIV-ARR, while not allowing the game to be 100% completed without playing with other players.

Yes, but outright saying the story can only be done solo is very much incorrect. You can only get to about level 20 solo.

IMO, all the best stuff in this game requires at least 3 other people. I'm constantly doing party content.

You do realize MMO's aren't all RPG's right? There are MMORPG as well as MMOFPS. And if the shooter you are playing is considered massively multiplayer then yes it is an MMO. Kind of like planetside.

Being social is something you must do of your own volition. It isn't Squares fault you don't know how to make friends. I do things with people every single day I've played this game.
