Hello! I'm doing a bit of research on how people in FFXIV make friends within the game, and was hoping those of you with an active social life in Eorzea might be willing to share how you met your crew.
This one's for folks who made connections within the actual game, rather than those with a squad that were first IRL friends.
Did connections come through talking with randoms met through the Duty Finder? Were you recruited by a startup FC? Perhaps you had to approach people yourself and ask to join their FC? What was that like?
Outside maybe the Savage or Extreme content, it doesn't seem like the game has much in the way of mechanics that force people to speak with each other. Great for the solo player, but did that make it feel hard to approach people when you first started playing?
Conversely -
Have you tried to make friends but found it difficult? What was your experience there? Has it put you off trying out any particular content?
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience.
