What she means is, it's the same as in FFXIV - He's a 'duelist' there as well but you still fight with a party. You're pretty damn special in FFV as well, which is his original appearance, and it was still fought in a party even if he was purely "buddy buddy" with Bartz so in context, it should have been him and Bartz only but you still fought in a party.


He has always been a party based fight. Changing that now is like changing Omega to being a mount reward instead of fighting him and/or Shinryu.

After all the trouble the writers went through to build up the player character in the story between whatever abilites they have, the power of the echo, the backing of Hydaelin and so on, having 4/8 people gang up on a guy that's been introduced as a duelist simply doesn't make much sense.
Yeah...so um, remember in FF how 3-8+ (if you think about the story) gangs up on 1 person, numerous times? If we're talking about XIV specifically, there's a lot of story points where it should be "one on one" but it's not, especially if you bring up the echo, we should be technically soloing Bahamut's Coil.
