Hello, I just got the game for PS4 and will be starting soon. Is there a place to find where Free Company are recruiting and new player friendly?
Is it better to choose an older higher population server being new? I would appreciate any suggestions for server choice. I\\'m on west coast USA PST
I will be using a keyboard for chat, is there a particular one that the PS4 players have good success with? Preferably wired
Lastly, I will be subbing long term and would like to find an experienced player to send me recruitment email with code who doesn\\'t mind helping a new player occasionally. Hopefully someone in that new player friendly free company :)
Sorry for all the questions. I appreciate any*help. Thanks

I am on the Hyperion server and my FC is recruiting (we are not really big, mainly friends and family at the moment) Hyperion is a High Population server. I have heard good things of people being on the PS4 with controller. I enjoy helping others out. I can check later tonight to see if I can send you a code.

You can check the world specific forums here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/f...Group-NA-EU%29
Most have threads for FC's.
As for keyboard, I'm using a standard default run-of-the-mill Dell keyboard and it works just fine on the PS4. I don't use the controller though. I have a Logitech G600 mouse I use instead. -

playing on the ps4 controller is a hard thing to do and get used to i know my self. i know for a fact you are limited when you use it,so once you feel it is 100% needed go to a bestbuy or something and drop 20 bucks each on a usb mouse and usb keyboard then use them.
if you have any questions feel free to ask me.I do not know much about 14 but it is not that fair off on the basic level from 11 so most of the commands and things like that are the same things that are a must easily are the same.
also if your looking to join a free company i think there is a free company counter in the game. -
10-30-2014, 04:25 AMMartin_ArcainessThe Phoenix server is a good one to join as it's one of the most pop ones ^^ I run a FC and we have a few new peopel in there along with more exp players that like to help out new players.

10-30-2014, 06:48 AMNiwashiIf length of the cord isn't an issue, then any USB keyboard for PCs should work, but I use this one. Logitech branded this one as designed for PS3, which basically just means they gave it a longer USB cord (8 feet) to make it more suitable for TV-to-couch distances. Other than that, it's a standard keyboard like you'd use with a PC, and it works well with both PS3 and PS4. (I've used it on both.)Quote:

10-30-2014, 07:04 AMDark_LegacyI use this and while it is wireless you just plug in the receiver to the ps4,it has an on/off button, it is compact, and cheap. Works great just for chatting.Quote:

My FC "The Hydaelyn Order" is recruiting! We're on the Gilgamesh server, and we are very friendly. Mostly focused on just building a camaraderie and having a good time. We do the usual dungeons and trials and what not but we also do some Role Playing (though not required). Send either Kali Shakti, Sosu Han'ei, or Serah Han'ei a message to apply! :D

Welcome to FFXIV Redshift, if you're still looking for an FC and world (server) consider Jenova. Jenova is the one of the newest worlds, it opened when FFXIV became available to PS4 and was considered primarily PS4 users, though I don't know how true that is. I see a lot of PC users too.
The FC I'm in is extremely friendly to all types of players. So we have hard core raiders, casual end gamers, and people still working through the main story. The main thing is we're always respectful to each other and we help each other out and have lots of fun through it all :D If you're interested you can check us out at kingsofjenova.enjin.com
