Are you certain you've set languages in the duty finder settings? It's separate to the setting for your profile.

Being on a Japanese server as well, I can say it makes a huge difference - especially when queuing for eight-man content and endgame dungeons as both are reliant on the party being filled from separate roulette queues to the main leveling dungeons. (I've also read that the leveling roulette ignores language settings, but others do not.)


For finding an FC, have a look on the individual forum for your world - they don't get used much but people do post FC advertisements, and there are a few recent ones.

You will generally find people are quiet in dungeons though. FCs are for socialising, dungeons are for quietly doing your part and getting through it.

With all the EXP boosts available and especially if you're running dungeons on top of working through the story, you'll end up overleveled when you get to 'old level cap' sections.
