Looking for that "Good ol' days" feeling!Follow

Well, dont mean to keep you from playing, but all of endgame is like that at the moment. Up to the point where people will brutally exclude you over single digit stats or set even more rediculous requirements that no one can live up to.

Not saying you cannot or should not play FFXIV, it's a great game in it's own right, but perhaps you should put some thought into it before you run your character to 50 and actually sample the toxic world that is endgame and it's players, especially if you feel the game is already too much for you right now pre-50 and are in need of a new FC because of it.

In other news, all races have exactly identical stats in FFXIV, so anyone saying you shouldnt play a lalafell warrior is more proof of the original problem. Rude, ignorant, dumb (young) and highly offensive players who only care for their own progression.

That said, if you do wish to press on i do honestly wish you the best of luck in finding a good FC. I'd recommend my own, but we probably dont have the numbers you're after, so just going to wait till someone else offers something like that that's a tight knit group of friends.

There are many good FCs out there, you just need to know what you are looking for. The one I belong to on Ultros is a good one if you want a more casual FC where everyone helps each other out while allowing those that wish to focus on endgame to do so. If you are interested just look for the ZAM tag on Ultros and ask for an invite. (As far as I know anyone with that tag can invite into the fc.)

The 'feel good' from XI isn't really found in this game yet. There is a distinct lack of things to do that require you to seek out the help of fellow adventurers, especially on the scale you're used to from XI. The amount of time and effort needed to complete various tasks in XI were a strong part of what formed the strong bonds players had with each other. ARR is so much more casual that most of the time you don't need to look any further than the DF tool which does all the work for you.

I don't know, this is the first MMO since XI where I've actually made friends that I keep up with outside of the game. Extremes and Coil initially require a static, or a whole lot of trial and error through the DF. I've been a part of 2 statics and have kept up with just about every member that was in it. I had to unfortunately leave both of em due to work and real life, but I still do Coil and what not with them once in awhile. You can absolutely progress without static, but Second Coil of Bahamut is a pain to pug beyond T6.
