New Player Experience Sucks! - Impending Expansion Problems

[Penthea]

Singleplayer? You have to run a boatload of multi-player dungeons in this game to progress the storyline, and these will usually be done with other random players. So whatever else it may be, I would not characterize FFXIV as a single-player game.

Anyone who says the msq is a single-player experience hasn't been paying attention. The vast majority of msq based combat either can be done with a group or must be done with a group. Solo duties are the only things that can be argued as single player.

I find this funny because there are people on the other end of the spectrum who hate that you have to do so much group content to get through the msq.
