From Reddit: NO level sync when entering a dungeon with less that required players!

[Yuri_Hyuga]

Wouldn't that be redundant?...

Read: "...of the dungeon sets which aren't..," there are dungeon sets like the i80 from Lost City or i90 which still aren't dyeable, even through crafting means.

1 Minion & 1 Mount for such a feat is not much to ask for too.

This is something that most players already did when dungeons were new. Not exactly something special...

Hardly, most players have been incredibly well beyond the minimum specs of lvl. 50 dungeons since 2.1~.

Few players actually strip their gear just for the sake of it, let alone everyone in a party.

If speaking of leveling dungeons, sure there are sometimes where a player goes in at bare-minimum, but again--every other person likely isn't.

They can always make a harsh time-trial part of the achievement(s) too, so players in bare gear really have to pressure progress.

Ah, my mistake. Still though, this isn't a feat. The dungeons aren't challenging. They weren't really meant to be. I mean hey, I'm all for having free stuff thrown at me but that's essentially what they'd be doing.

Besides, if they were to do something like this, we wouldn't get it the second we got done with the content. It would be much smarter to add incentives to run it a bit further down the road when there are almost no people running it. With what they have announce so far, there will still be people running it for a while.

•Entering a dungeon with fewer than the required number of players is done simply by having the party leader select a new option in DF. You won't be able to replenish roles, and there will be no level sync. (Yes it says that. 「レベルシンクもかからないものになります。」)This feature is available for most ARR content, but not Heavensward content. The plan is to make it available for more content in future updates.

Wow. This means we can enter the old content and stay level 60 with Ilvl 170+ gear?

That mean i can take Boco in with me?

Extreme Primals will be included on this too? Please let it be! I have a very limited time to play and every time I enter a farm pony party RNG just says "NOPE, lol" to me.

[...] Adds a bit of incentive for a challenging alternative to the current exp grind. I had a lot of fun soloing some dungeon stuff on the SCH. [...]

It would be interesting if the Exp in dungeons got scaled depending on how many people did them... So if you went in solo, you'd get a lot more exp than you'd get if you were in a party of four. Of course also with some possible scaling depending on your level (currently, you don't get any exp for mobs if they're too many levels below you, so I'd expect something similar in dungeons as well). It'd provide an interesting method for levelling alternative classes. Go in solo or with one partner and do your best to survive, and get a ton of exp as a reward...

Probably because of copyright issues. Since it's a Famitsu interview, the copyright belongs to Famitsu, and SE would have to buy the rights to it in order to publish even translations of it.
Or it's just a matter of, "it's just something extra -- fans will read the original interview anyway. What do you mean they don't all speak Japanese? Bah." :p

Because it was not a "dev" or community manager that posted it on Reddit. It was a person who watched the interview and translated it. There is actually a lot of good info over at the FFXIV Reddit page that you don't get here.

Will we be able to solo WoD for the pet?
