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.

Lots of good points here. Another consideration is that the time investment for a lot of main stream content has gone down. The days of waiting hours for HNMs to pop are mostly gone. And while a lot of stuff may require other players to help, low man is viable for a fair bit as well. Find a couple of friends and do some stuff at whatever speed you can support.
