I have been reading a few comments and am a bit confused about Fate Parties. I am enjoying exploring and running across Fate's and participating with any other adventure's around. Go in...tackle the baddies and move on. Are there some Fate's that require a Party to be formed to participate or am i missing something.

Reason I ask is I just assumed for the lightning Fate i could just go to the Fate location and fight with the rest of the players in the area.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
