They mentioned it already in the stream, that they will make more multiplayer content in Dawntrail.

If SE can do everything they say they want to in DT, looking like a legit good expansion.

I agree it's a mmo go play one of the 14 other ff games if you can't work with other people.

The idea is to draw in anxious players who think they want to play solo (there are many of these), then as they go through the story solo they will often get pulled into the social aspect of the game by talking to people outside of dungeons, getting invited to an FC or the Novice Network.

There are actually a lot of these players, who avoid this game because of the multiplayer aspects but still play the other FFs. It's actually clever to draw them in this way, because a lot of people who were once solo players just needed the push to interact with others. And drawing them in with solo content can work.

Dawntrail is going to focus on multiplayer MMORPG content anyway, including field operations, large-scale raids and social interaction in cosmic exploration like there was with The Firmament. But it will maintain the solo stuff (Duty Support and variant dungeons) alongside it.

I totally disagree. FFXIV was my 1st MMORPG that I played almost 10 years ago. I did have many great people in the community help me with dungeons & learning about MMOs. But as I stated before, outside new trials, new extreme/savage content, new relic grinding& new exploration areas - the game is basically a single-player MMORPG, in my opinion.

The MSQ is single-player, the instances are single-player, and the MSQ dungeons, if you use the Trusts or Duty Support, are single-player. Hell, if you don't decide to do the new raids & alliance, you probably can go through the whole DT, 7.0, as a single player.

Now if SE wants to add more multiplayer content in FFXIV, that is fine but doesn't mean people have to do it. Players are going to play the game how they feel comfortable playing the game. Plain & simple.

MMO only means, that there are more people online playing the game, not that we need to interact with said players. So tired of that same childish reply...grow up.

So you want a single player game with dynamic NPC’s then

Funny to call others childish when you have 14 other mainline FF’s and your response is basically “nuh uh I want this one”

Pot calling kettle and all that.....
