Game-watch interview with Yoshi-P

[Theodric]

My main worry with 4 man dungeons is the potential for some compositions to be downright awful if it's tuned too high, and if it's tuned too low people will complain that they're too easy. I wonder how they'll get around that, 8 mans work due to the increased size. I'd prefer to have 8 man hard dungeons myself, but we'll see I guess.

They could get around it by placing a greater emphasis on mechanics rather than DPS. Though we'd likely just see situations like with Titan (Hard/EX) where a lot of people end up wiping again and again.

They would have to def do mechanic intensive battles.
As a person who absolutely loved trying Turn 9 before 60 cap with 4 people, I think it's completely possible to make things challenging and 4 man.

Edit: And, I honestly wouldn't mind a 4 version of a raid and an 8 man version. I personally would want the 4 man version to be harder than the 8 man version.
But again, I love low man challenges. In XI, I use to always try to do things with the least amount of people possible back when content was 18 man.

That would definitely work, similar to the Thordan Extreme trial.

they don't need to use the same raid for 8 and 4 player and work around a balance more interesting this way.
i think adapt already existing raid for 4 player is a bad idea.
