Request: I don't want to solo the main scenario

[KiriA500]

I'm not even asking this to turn into XI, having to farm crap for hours and so; I just want something that requires actual team work. Just because a player isn't hardcore it doesn't mean he's going to suck at playing this game. It only means he has less time to run around with misc prerequisites.

Somewhere along the road it seems this line got blurred and everyone just assumes casual players suffer from mental damage.

I'd be willing to bet that 85% of the player base has no idea what's going on in the story. Completely oblivious to the fact that this is a numbered Final Fantasy title, people just want end-game content, which already has the team work element you want.

Don't get me wrong, I want more stuff similar to Final Fantasy XI (similar, not copy/pasted for all of you with easily bunched panties) in terms of story progression, instead of just trading in a bunch of seals to rank up. I want content, missions, dungeons to explore...but I also realize that it's 2012, and hardly anybody actually cares about that stuff anymore. It's all about getting the best gear so you can do the next thing to get the next best gear... It's sad.
