    Uh.. I think this is not right. I think it is better to have both light and full PT content come as separate instead of turning any old content into light PT content.. I know that it is easier to work this way for dev, but this mean SE will never release any new content for light PT at all other than useless-leve?

    Yea, I had in mind different content special just for light pt with different items... >_<

    Devs, you should add new content for 4/4 party instead of making ifrit's and mog or dh's - light versions. Does not make sense.

    I think there should be high lvl "instanced" content for both type of parties for light and full, but not the same. Especially with same rewards.

    Why base rewards on number of PT members? If they can balance it so difficulty is around the same (failure rate is similar to the 8 man version's) rewards should be the same too.

    Hard as it is I wish they could do proper balancing for anywhere between 4 and 8 people...

    with less options for what classes you can bring into a fight with 4 man, it can be just as difficult if not moreso if done right

    i mean right off the bat

    8 man fight= 1-2 tanks, 1-2 healers, 4-6 dd

    4 man fight
    1 tank
    1 healer(maybe even 2)
    2 dd


    the fight can be more demanding if you dont have that extra healer to keep things going if 1 goes down or runs low on mana, so in a 4 man fight it can go wrong in so many more ways

    It doesn't make sense to allow people who prefer light-party play to experience the same epic content as those who enjoy full-party play? I don't follow.
