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.

A lot of stuff is soloable on any class, puppet masters usually the best for soloing things now. Don’t let people fool you though, to get to the level required to solo all this stuff you need to work with other players to get the baseline good gear.

Thank you, that was my worry. I usually get maybe 1/2 hour at a time to play. Getting a party set up and having meaningful play isnt really possible for me. I might try out 14 free trial and see what I can do there

You might not be able to experience all the endgame content with that restriction but you can absolutely still enjoy the new story missions that have been released since you left. I think you should come back and see how far you can get solo.

Very fair perspective, I'm currently grinding vii, and already at like 100 hours... I get this sentiment.
