Some people in the thread are arguing that smaller parties make content easier and larger parties = harder. IMO the size of the party bears no correlation to difficulty, neither does it have to.

Surely with a party of 4 or 8 there are less variables and as such it is easier to tailor the whole dungeon/raid experience, as such making more challenging content is a LOT easier when designed for small parties, surely?

I'm not arguing that XIV should ONLY have 8 man max. I'd love to see larger alliance content but people need to realise that theres no correlation between party size and difficulty.
