PS4 and PS5 players: you can connect a wireless keyboard for chat! Not all bluetooth keyboards will work but if your keyboard can connect with a wireless adapter it’ll work. You can keep playing the game normally with your controller and just use the keyboard for chat so you don’t have to use the awkward and slow controller keyboard pop-up.

LOL! I really do hope they help.

My socializing in game fluctuates wildly. Sometimes I will go up to random people, like the time I went around offering new players pants, or handing out Campfire minions to randoms in Ul'Dah for Kentaro Miura's memorial and sometimes I won't even say "hi" in chat. I'm primarily a very anti-social person and typically only open up to people after I've known them a while.

It's curious how this game has been around for a very long time now and you've been playing it just as long, but your videos come out now while I just started playing FF XIV after I didn't even have this game on my radar since it was released. This video in particular is really helpful since I wanted to meet some new people in-game because I rarely ever bothered to do so in the past in other games; which ultimately lead to me dropping these games at some point. I had my first day of playing yesterday, and I ended up figuring out emotes with somebody that I just said hi to because they had the same pink hair colour as me which I found amazing, getting introduced to how to climb the top of a building just for fun by a guy that was performing on top of it, and listening to a concert by an entire free company. I can already tell that I'm going to have fun playing this game

Hi, I just wanted to particularly thank you for the tip about using the Contact List at 3:40. I had no idea it existed, and I've played for an embarrassing number of hours, largely through random parties on the Duty Finder, which have gone surprisingly well. It has sometimes grouped me with really awesome people and you have no idea how frustrated I was when I first wanted to message someone after the run to say "thanks, want to group up again sometime?" but couldn't figure out how!! I eventually concluded it was impossible to talk to folks on other servers outside of being in duties until you mentioned the Contact List in your video. Anyways, outside of that I've seen a number of your videos now and they've all taught me something useful, so thanks for creating this great content!

Thanks for the tips. They're presented in a very friendly way. I'm new to the game (well, I've been playing for six months, but I'm not through EW yet despite doing almost nothing but MSQ) and as somebody who has never ever played a MMO before (and who has never used social media either), I feel a bit intimidated about the social aspect. There have been some very helpful people who have donated their time to helping me out - for example, somebody who explained where to buy glams in one of the 20 minute cutscenes in Prae, and then came by my GC after the dungeon to explain what I wasn't understanding - but I've been too timid to reach back properly to them. There is SO MUCH content in this game that I get overwhelmed just looking at it, and the social element is one part of that content overload. I never know where to start or what my goal is, and I'm worried that after I finish MSQ I'll be left stranded in a sea of content I'll drown in without something to look for. This guide looks like something that can help combat that feeling.

OH Awesome! I love D&D. I don't get to play it nearly enough =/. I recently came across a FFXIV themed campaign for D&D XD I really want to run a one shot with it.

This is the only facet of the game I have yet to completely crack open (along with Gold Saucer). I was on the MSQ grind for awhile and I spend most of my time setting personal goals to level other jobs and unlocking all the trials/raids still left in the game. It all sounds really simple when laid out in a video but I have only been to maybe 2 events, and I am in an active FC. I just don't really talk in there as much as I should I suppose. Which is INCREDIBLY weird cause in a party I don't shut up and I'm always making jokes or connecting with people.

Before even watching imma just tell my little story. I went online and looked up FCs in my server cuz I've always played alone and was tired of it. So I was just going through the most popular ones. I saw one that piqued my interest and kinda just forced myself to go to their estate, some one invited me in quickly. I hung around for a few days but idk, something just didn't feel right. No one really spoke in chat cuz they were all on Discord, which is a problem for me cuz I'm on ps4 currently cuz to broke for pc and like using my headset for game audio. So I thought about it and just left and started over and found another. This time messaged the founder, and just asked some basic questions about the things I was looking for in an FC. That's the one I've been with since. I may not play much content with them but having people to just talk to in real nice.

'Birds of a feather' These tips are great and all, but I have always found the best way to make friends is to not try so hard, and just be polite and pleasant to be around. When you do this and you are also open to new friendships, you will encounter those whose plumage is similar to your own, and you will flock. Also, please be careful how much stock you place in online friendships.

@@EverydayEorzean If you are talking about the bit where I said to be careful how much stock you put into online relationships, it is because in terms of investments, they are high risk. Online bonds are afforded luxuries that are not present in proximal relationships. That is not to warn you about someone who would take advantage of you, but the much more likely scenario that real life takes them away from you. Though you do have to worry about the former as well. You might think that an online friendship is solid, only to find out that they did not feel the same when they give no reason or explanation for their departure. They can just vanish, and leaving you feeling like you need some kind of closure due to your emotional attachment to that friend. So again, I am not saying to not do it. I am just saying to be very mindful, but this holds true for all investments. Some gamers just still need to take that into mind.

He showed me the fc house he and his wife maintain by themselves and we hung around discussing Asmongold’s first Extreme fight.

My tip would be to roll on Crystal DC if you can even remotely interact with people while In Character... I've never played an MMO and so I had no friends in the game, but I'm a long time tabletop D&D player and I sought out the RP servers despite all the memes. And I'm so glad I did... RP is just shared storytelling, and even my timid but sincere efforts from around level 30 were enough to be welcomed and for my friends list to start filling up fast. It's been an amazing experience.

So recently (not super recently but when I first started playing the game again) I found an FC that just so happened to be really good for me. They did the shout advertisement and the person gave me good vibes, so...I joined. I sent a tell and said I was interested. I'm an introvert and have SEVERE social anxiety, so I somehow thought that the person was going to laugh at me and reject me, or if they did let me in, everyone else was going to think I was a weirdo. But they are some of the kindest, most positive people I have ever met. They've accepted my gender identity, helped me navigate as a sprout who's getting farther than I ever have, and have been nothing but funny and great to be around. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be headed to Limsa saying "hey, love your glamour" any time soon because I'm still scared of people just innately thinking I'm a weirdo and I prefer having small groups of friends to bigger ones, but I still had a grand old time meeting the members of my FC and don't regret sending that first tell back in Ul'dah as a baby thaumaturge. Not that I'm not a baby black mage even though I finished ARR recently. But still.

Oh yeah! The roleplaying events I've been to have mostly been via text. Even if you don't talk, think of discords like a forum replacement. They are still super useful for making new friends! If you choose to upgrade from the free trial, you will get access to send people tells and join FC's which is helpful, but if you're not putting yourself out there now, having the access may not improve the situation. If you're into role-playing, I would suggest seeing if you can find a role-play linkshell on your data center/server via the community finder. You should still be able to accept invites to them, even on the free trial! So start there! Let me know how it goes!
