Is there any reason to focus on 'solo' players..?

Oh really? New players won't know? Well...I guess they won't know if they don't actually look at the game. If they just get the game and go "ok, let's play!" and don't look at the site AT ALL, then no...they aren't going to have the slightest clue of what's going on...but SMART people will look at the lodestone homepage and find this...

The lack of tutorials in FFXIV is a complaint by many players that tied into the game's lack of pick-up-and-play quality and contributed to frustration and bad reviews.

No one should ever be expected to start combing the web to figure out the basics in an MMO.
