It's crystal clear that EDF games are created to play in coop. It comes to the ridiculous point that Vita games are REALLY meant to be played online (!?!?!?!?!?!?!?, smart decision Sandlot).
Granted there's tremendous fun to play them online, it's rare to find such a pleasant game to do so. If you find the right people it can be absolutely awesome. However, this is problem number one, finding the right people. I played mostly 2025 online, only found one gamer that was a pleasure to play with and we did solve most missions, even without voice chat. But let's not be naive most people will finish online, especially inferno, with at least 1 person in their party with a gazillion armor, which was acquired leggit or not, doesn't matter. The others will be dead all throughout the majority of the mission. And unless the party host has limits off doing some missions in lower difficulties with weapon and armor limits can be really troublesome.
In EDF 5 (and in 4.1) the game is actually easier if you play with 3 or 4 people online. You have 4 times the firepower and different abilities with 2x the difficulty in the case of 3, 2.64x in the case of 4, so as long as everyone knows how to handle things and it's coordinated it can and will be easier. If it's chaos and everyone for himself it's impossible to solve anything, which unfortunately it's what usually happens and why I generally don't like and avoid playing EDF online. The only major issue is that NPCs usually die faster as they're not scaled as much but more importantly their issues and problems become bigger.
But with the right party it's a hell of fun.
