I haven't played as much as PSO2 so it might be different, but PSO didn't have a big world with hundreds of players. You got a lobby with players in it then you go on a mission which is its own area you just have the people in your party and no one else. It was missing the massive part of MMO.

Well, there is barely group content to do in FFXIV's massive world full of players so the experience ends up being similar! You can get through the entire game without ever having to party up with people outside of the missions you go on, which sound like what you're describing. It'll auto match you with 3-7 people depending on what you're doing and put you into a new zone with only them.

I played a good bit of FFXI and didn't have that feature iirc. I had to actually track down some people to help me go on low level quests.

Yeah, XI did require actually grouping up a lot more than XIV does. But even XI now lets you summon NPCs to fill out your party and most of the game can be done solo (Ive played the main story of the base game this way, havent gone far in the expansions though).
