Square Enix has finally made it possible to play all of Final Fantasy 14 completely solo despite it being a massively multiplayer online game.

    Article only mentions dungeons. Did they add it for story trials too? As far as I know that's only available for early 4-player trials and a couple of very recent additions. The Chrysalis, Steps of Faith, etc can still wipe a group of human players easily if their mechanics are ignored.

      Nothing for 8-man trials. The only trial that has trusts is one in Endwalker that I'll avoid mentioning for very obvious story spoilers.

        Mhm, that's one of the "very recent additions" I meant. The other being Memoria, but that's a sidequest.

        Bit of a sensationalized headline, then. They're almost there, but not "entirely."

    This article isn't entirely accurate. Trials will still require playing with other characters, and the three 24-person Crystal Tower raids that are a requirement for progressing the story also must be played with other people.

        Take it slow at a lower level dungeon to get the feel for things. Sastasha and Tam Tara are great ones to start on. Go in with duty support NPCs if you are nervous about performing with others. In my experience, if you preface the instance with "hi bear with me, I'm new to tanking", people are very forgiving and will even give pointers :)
