Love this game, but I still don't get why it's subscription costs more then ffxiv and other mmo's with monthly subs.

Because it's Japanese logic. In other words, logic was thrown out the window long ago.

When I played this game there was no way to solo it. I suppose the population must be quite sparse so how do people level and get to the high levels?

They added summonable minion-things you can take with you while you're out exploring and leveling that allows for soloing - they tank, heal and do damage, so you should be able to do everything except for raids.

Even dungeons?

Yes, also the dungeon finder works good if you want to play with other people, just the queue times can be a bit longer unless you are a healer.

Also populations are good for older dungeons b/c higher level players get rewards for doing lower level dungeons.

Either the person is talking 11 or got this article confused with 14.

If the person is referring to 11, then you can used 'trusts' (summonable companions as this person mentioned but they are useable for most things unlike only in dungeons in 14). They're pretty overpowered and carry you easily from 1-99. After 99, they start to scale with your ilvl (119 max) and some other quest related items. You're pretty much going out into the world and grinding on mobs as your fastest way to level to 99 without gear really mattering until 99 (a lot of people just level up naked since trusts are just that strong).

The game is worth playing just for the story if people are looking for that and most of the story content can be soloed at 99 and with trusts if people are just looking for something like that. Just be warned that there's 0 voice acting so you'll be reading ALOT.

The subscription to this game should be included with FFXIV.

That is something I would agree with.

I played this way back when the PS2 HDD was a thing. The game was very difficult then. Soloing was not an option, and it took hours and hours to get a group and get a bit of experience. If you died, you lose exp and even de-level. I loved/hated the game. Eventually they made it easier and more solo friendly, such as the introduction to the beast master class (even that got easier) and others. The game was a huge time sink. Every thing just took way to @#!? long to achieve. But the cut scenes were worth some of it. I tried the game again some years ago and I was so over whelmed by all clutter and stuff in the city. I hated the auction house and the old archaic systems; leaving you guessing and believing gossip.

Cant wait until Square Enix try to jam NFTs into this and everything else they make, should be good for some laughs....

There is a mobile FFXI in the works but no concrete information other than a vague announcement. I honestly think the game should just gracefully age out and reduce the subscription to a level where SE can manage the servers and run routine maintenance (say, $5 a month). At this point, I do not think there is enough income from subscriptions to sustain future development, and maybe FFXIV players and developers are subsidizing the operation.

Entirely possible since the head of SE will be stepping down later this year. He said he wouldn't put them into mainstream SE titles, but no telling what the new head will do.

I don't think that Yoshi P would allow it, so, maybe in XI but definitely not XIV. Not that i think that it would ever happen as i think that NFT's are now on their way out anyway.
