Why make trials so integral to the completion of the MSQ

[Tint]

I honestly think they should reduce the players to 4 in story trials. There are just so many of them and all of them require 8 people and the queues never fill. They just need to be cleared once and nobody learns the mechanics properly. Plus there are so many that nobody remembers the mechanics anyway. The trial roulette is just not worth it anymore so people simply avoid it. The fights take too long, are too difficult (for the reward) and if you wipe you are stuck in there forever.

Trials need a rework!

I love challenging trials with full parties. Please do not make the whole game braindead, thank you.

Once we get full npc run singleplayer mode, when we donate enough of our time and money to SE, which is coming soon. But please remember to donate more if you can, it is literally the most important thing to keep MMO's alive in general, not just FFXIV.
We must put our money where our heart is, and it is fully with Yoshi P and his proud and perfect staff team and CBU3 STUDIO.

But when we get full singleplayer option with npc's, we dont have to care about ques, though I doubt SE even would let ques happen, but fix them soon as humanly possible. Please understand, it is a hard job and they need more money to motivate them. So I think we need to come up with a clever and innovative way to give them more money for more projects and eventually to put back into our beloved MMO, to make their company grow to perpetually massive, so we can overshadow competition and make the rules. Our community will grow stronger and better and smile happily

They don't have to make them easier per se, reducing the player count to 4 will probably make them easier, but mostly it will reduce queue times. They also could give them some relevancy instead. There is no point in adding challenging content when nobody cares to do the content more than once. These story trials are more a roadblock than actual content right now.

And in any case there will still be the ex trials for people who want the challenge.

You mean how like every other Final Fantasy game does it?

No need to wait and stare at the screen. Work in your Lonely Island.

Dude I love you even if your shtick is obnoxious to some people. They don't realize they find it obnoxious because that's literally how they sound lmfao. It's like you're just putting a mirror and they saw their own ugly reflections and get mad.

Trails are great! If the queue is really a problem then they should offer more rewards for players to queue for trials.

I personally love trial roulette and still go back and do old trials often.

Although I will say the endwalker trials are not my favorite. They just aren't that fun, especially to randomly queue into. I think the got the difficulty wrong on those ones, if I'm being honest.

just make a party finder lmao

I would really love to see a mix group of NPCs and real players. I did all the dungeon content on NPC mode just to beat the queueing system. I much prefer having real people around just for the social aspect.
Anyways I got the final one done also and made into the expansion area Dawntrail.

Thanks for the advice. I found most of the options mentions here. I did not even know the party finder existed.
