Final Fantays XIV is very easy to play solo, if you dont mind too much with having the best gear and beating the hardest bosses you can stick to the main story. The story keeps evolving and growing as new patches are added, the original game has a story some 100 hours long but with all the patches it got to around 150 hours. every boss aside fomr the ones on the Binding coil of Bahamu has an easy or story mode version, the games matchmaking will find a suitable party for you and theres no need for comunication.
The expansion Heavensward continues the main story and add some 50-60 more hours to it. And them we have the recent patches moved the story foward even more. Its long but very easy to do solo, and heavensward has an easy mode even for the raid so now every single boss can be beat even by the super causual crowd.
The story is pretty freaking amazing, and the game does an excelent job of making you feel like youre incredibly important and a highly reveared hero. Like for intance i play a Dragoon, and I completed the class quests for the Dragoon becoming an Azure Dragoon. When Heavensward came out and they added new clas quests the storyline continued but this time I was in charge of training a lancer general who was hell bent in hunting a certain dragon, she felt like the only way shed ever manage to defeat the ebast was if I teached her all I knew, so the storyline actualy took in consideration the fact that I was a super powerfull dragoon and evryone treats me liek Im a master of my craft, its no like most MMOs were every expansion they basicaly reset you, the story takes into account the fact that your character is the only one that cna save the world and ppl react to you acordingly.
Now if you do want the best egar, learn how to craft like a pro and stuf, than youll both need a guild and be patient cause the game becomes super grindy on that level.
To give you a taste of what a boss figth looks like (and sounds like, the ost of this game is one of the most amazing things ever created in a videogame, not kiding) in FFXIV story mode:
