FFXI was designed off the old school MMO design that made Everquest popular. It was the way things were done, then. WoW came out a year later and showed everyone casual play. It is why people like to say things like it being hard or masochists. They'd say the same about Everquest. But FFXI has become significantly more casual and solo friendly. It is still designed as a multiplayer game though. Everyone has to work together in a party and if someone fails in their job it becomes very clear. So if you don't want to play with other people then it is not going to be the game for you. If you're on board for teamwork and party play you'll have fun.
