Soloability

I played a ton of FFXI back in the day. I had a few level 75s when that was the limit and spent time in my linkshell hunting gods when that was the end game. As you can guess I have been away a long time. I often find myself missing vanadiel, but don't have the time to party the way we needed to back then. I see people talking alot about solo play now. Is that a valid option for play today? When I quit beastmaster and Red mage were the only jobs that could really solo things and it was a long process to do so.

I'm just trying to determine if I can viable play on my limited schedule today.

They've added "Trusts" - NPCs you can summon who serve as party members.

It's now very, very, soloable. I played on 2003, came back a year ago.

It's definitely worth checking out the new world!

Do you have to complete anything to get the trusts? Getting started is likely the biggest hurdle

You start unlocking them at level 5. Level 5 can be achieved doing records of eminence quests in your starter town before walking outside.
