Questions about solo experience (no AI)

[Felky]

Is the game made to play with a party (AI)?

I was expecting some Monster Hunter experience fighting big monsters and the possibility of being alone.

I see that for the main story you are forced to put the "Captain" in the team which forces you to use Sword&Shield or play with them as an AI.

Because of this I don't enjoy the story; so how much content is there after the main story ends?

Does the game kinda turns into Monster Hunter / God Eater after the story and there is something to grind/unlock with the character of your choice?

Little bumpy cuz lots of people are posting

The story is only like 10-20% of the game. So yes, after the story, the game turns into a monster hunter questing system. There is like 6-7 difficulty levels where you have key quests each difficulty level.

Game is designed to kinda use an AI party. You can try doing quests after the story with just 1 character, but its going to be significantly harder than with a party. You can give it a shot, but you might struggle doing solo no teammate quests. I haven't tried it myself yet.

Even early getting highest rank on some quest take some effort with AI. Need to build and have the right team comp.

So this game coop is kinda an after thought? Designed for solo with ai party?

No. The story is entirely solo. The endgame is designed for co-op.

I see.. Well thank you guys for the infos that's a bit disapointing in my opinion I won't be playing this then :(

is it worth playing entirely solo offline or is that not really what the game is about?

You can play solo offline. I'm halfway through Proud difficulty so far playing solo and just did maybe 5 random quests online just to try it. The game works well offline (unlike stuff like Left 4 Dead). AI is pretty good defensively and you may die more often than the AI until you learn the fights.

Around 10-15 hours into the story you can unselect the captain from the party. Around 20 hours in I had unlocked all the characters except for 2-3 so they became available at a good pace.

I know you soloed most of your way through endgame contents with AIs, but do you happen to know if it's possible (or feasible) to progress from the end of main story towards Maniac/Proud difficulties using only 1 character and play exclusively online?
