I was kind of thinking of an interesting idea wheb reminiscing about my old FFXI days.

The thing I enjoyed most sbout FFXI is that I played with mainly with one friend. Obviously I had a end game linkshell to do the relevant content but me and friend used to challenge ourselves to duoing things which didnt seem all that possible. I was RDM and my friend was THF we used to go around duoing things like bune and charybdis which even some 6 man groups would struggle to kill. The challenge was huge and it took a lot longer. However the sense of achievement was massive.



Anyway, onto my point. I would like to be able to enter dungeons with less than the normal amount of people.

Yes the rewards can be the same but the challenge is greater therefore making it more fun. Also less people means more chance you will get the gear you want.

Imagine ifirt HM with only 4 people. To be able to do this you would need gear which way surpasses anything you can obtain from ifrit. But the challenge of pushing you and your 4 man team to the limit would be immense to say the least. And all of the above would keep older content used.

Please my idea is only basic and comes from my need to thrive on new challenges and finding extreme ways to achieve things

If you can expand on this that would be great
