[Devs] Add high-end content for light party too, please

[Brickz]

and I'm saying FFXI is an mmorpg.

That is the reason it's not "light parties" like every other Final Fantasy.

yes its a mmo .. that's pretty much becoming the most casual of all time... so if its gonna be casual be that and stop straddling the fence for gods sake. this game still has no identity. by implementing what the op suggested at least u provide more content by allowing less restriction on party size its not like the op was asking to let us be able to solo the content .. for instance why when darkhold became able to be entered with 4-8 people why not just have a 4 man mode where the enemies were scaled to b a hard challenge for that size party. i understand its a mmo, but you need to look at big picture most people that came from 11 aren't kids anymore and some never were so the days of huge linkshells when you had people on all day and available for most /all events is a done deal also. and now those people are the majority. just my 2 cents.

To be fair, most early final fantasy titles had at least 5 people per party. Well FFIV did anyway. Honestly they should just continue to make content either specifically for light parties or for full parties.

They could release a low man version of the content they release, but the rewards yielded would be something completely underwhelming compared to the big groups.

but why does it have to be like this? 4 man should be just as hard or slightly harder than 8 man content and yield the same kind of drops. They could make 4 man versions of the primals. I was excited when I found out they were making light and full parties... but it seems content can only be beat with 8 atm, and exping with 4 people is almost a waste of time when you compare it to 8 man.

I like to believe that MMORPG should do everything on a grand scale. When I read massive, I picture elephants and blue whales.
Do you picture turtles when you read massive? I sure as hell don't.
God damn turtles.

Instead of restricting players into 4/4 parties or 8/8 why not create events that scale based on number of players in the party?

Sure it would be more difficult to balance each encounter, but what about those times when you want to do Ifrit but can only manage 6/8 members?

They should lower down the restrictions on member allowances but leave the difficulty alone.

This is absolutely ingenious. Borderlands and Diablo 2 work this way too. More players = stronger, harder hitting enemies with more hp.

Chalk that one up for the future Square!

Yes please on this. 8 is a really uncomfortable number for many LS, sometimes getting 8 people is hard, others you get more than 8 but short of 16...

No offence, but if your having trouble mustering up 8 players in a linkshell, its much more reasonable to get a better linkshell over attempting to convinve SE they need to add 1/2 group content based on your LS limitations.
