Storyline Quest Progression Roadblocks

^^^That's what I was thinking. Unless he's trying to que for some kind of dead content.

While I cant give you much advice on finding an FC (or friends), here is how you do two of those things:

Partyfinder
Go to the group-menu on the bottom right of your screen - the little flag-symbol, might not be called "group" - and open "Partyfinder" (second one from the top). Now click on the big, golden "Recruit"-Button on the bottom left of that window and navigate through the following window by picking the duty you want to recruit for, what jobs you're looking for etc. Finally hit "Recruit" again.

Unsyched/Undersized

This will allow you to enter any duty right away with your current party. You'll keep your level - thats why its called "unsyched": you dont get level-synched - but the game wont try to pair you with other people. So again: You can only do that when your own level is (much) higher than the content you wanna do. So if your progressing through the story and are at level for the duties, you'll have to find a level 70 player whos willing to help you. You also wont get exp. So, enough with the warning... to do this you need to open the normal DF-window and click on the little gear-symbol in the top-left. That will bring up a menu - you want to check the second option (I believe is called "Undersized"). Now you can enter any duty without having to wait for people!

This is also the menu where you can navigate to "languages" to make sure you've picked all of them!

Awesome info, thank you. Will give it a shot.

I'm surprised the queue is that long. Perhaps you're trying to queue away from peak time? Most people who run the Main Scenario Roulette (which will match people for those instances) probably do it in the evenings.

Taemek, you're on Tonberry, so that means you're on a Japanese data center. Here is my suggestion:

1. Go to the Duty Finder tab.
2. Click on the small gray circle with the Cogwheel in the upper left hand corner of the Duty Finder tab.
3. Choose Language.
4. Make sure the "Japanese" language is on since you are on a Japanese data center.

It is very possible that is the case.

I didn't think it would be that long either with cross world queues. On that note, do cross world queues only work for the data centre you are on? For example, Tonberry is on the Elemental data center, does it only cross world queue within Elemental or if I chose all Langauge types, it will cross world with all?

You can only do cross-world Party Finders with worlds on your same data center. So it would only be with the other Elemental Data Center worlds.

My first guess on seeing this topic was playing on a japanese server and not selecting that language. It comes up fairly often on the boards here, and usually that(selecting japanese as an additional language to match with) fixes the problem. But the partyfinder is a good idea too. I use it enough that i gave it a dedicated keybind to bring it up faster.
