I begun to see a rather annoying change in mabi gen quests. For example the sagas are forced solo only. and before that they where slowly starting to get more forced solo in other gens before.
Im not against soloing at all or making it possible when your strong enough but.... Id rather it be a choice. Me and my GF have been playing for awhile and are now starting to get to the point that if we want to play together then we cant do the main story stuff together like we used to. because it seems every moment they add more its nope solo only. And we are getting kinda tired of doing the same dungeons, shadow runs and so forth over and over and over again just for something to do together on mabi.
Has anyone else noticed how much forced solo content has been showing up to?

Most of Generation 12, 15 and 16, and all of Generations 2, 13, 14, and Sagas 1 and 2 are all solo. Saga 2 worsens this by being all fixed on one difficulty which a basic or int player have zero chance of completing. I also heard G19 is also all solo.
So yes, forced solo is pretty frequent as of late.

bleh .... if i wanted to be forced into solo play i can get that from the offline stuff. Again nothing wrong with making it avalible in a mmo but atleast give the choice to make it solo or team. just sucks when new quest and story stuff comes out but they just cut ya off from enjoying it with others.

the way i see it is that after G1, you're suppose to have friends that teaches you enough stuff so that you can solo everything e.g. G2 (which is after G1). It probably isn't the smartest thing but i guess that's how it is. They kinda confirmed this fact by locking it so that you must go through all gens and cannot skip some and come back.

Depends which generation you are at. For earlier ones (G1~G3), they are team-based and you will pretty much need people to actually finish them. For later ones however (G11, Saga), you are going to spend more time on doing solo missions. If you ever get stuck on mainstream quests, you should ask Royal Alchemists to help out important missions.

I personally find there's not enough solo.
I agree that most quests should have the option to party for those who really want it, but I solonogi and having to find people just so I can start a quest is a pain in the ass. There's still some shakespear stuff I haven't done because I'm too lazy to get a party of 3 people.

Except G2; the entirely of it is solo.

I think both forcing solo and forcing team play is kind of wrong. The best quests are the ones that can be soloed, but allow to bring party in case you're bored of soloing or really need help. Even the Royal Alchemist system is better than forcing either way of playing. Wouldn't actually mind if the system was expanded to mages and knights (warriors).

I agree. I wish they didn't force us to do it all solo. I enjoy playing with my friends!
Regardless, I still basically do most solo stuff "together" with my best friend since for example for the Saga we did them at the same time while in a Skype call and read the dialogue together as we did the Sagas and commented on what was happening during the whole thing. It's especially funny cause we read and do voices for the characters, we have the characters divided and have invented a different voice to do for each and every one of them. We've been doing that "voice-acting" thing from when we started the game, through every generation. It's pretty hilarious. xD
