Same. I spent about three months deep in the game, and then I realized how steep the grind was and stopped playing it. It was neat though, so it would be fun to check it out again and see what has changed in over 20 years.
I remember that as well. You absolutely needed to be in a complete party just to tackle regular areas. I saw in the notes they have been focusing on allowing single player runs work better since I’m sure finding a party is probably close to impossible these days.
So I was on a personal mission to beat every mainline FF game a couple years ago. For 14 I considered “beat” to mean be up to date with the story (which I was doing anyway), and for 11 I wanted to at least complete the story that the game shipped with simply because I didn’t want to sink TOO much time into it.
Anyway, you are able to get from 1-50 and kill the Shadowlord on your own now. I can attest to that. And after doing that I have now successfully finished FF1-16!
On my server there were still plenty of people. I don’t know how many are gold bot farmers. But there was still lots of characters running around.
