With the current community ingame it can be hard to find an FC to make friends, but you just have to keep looking. In 1.0 I went through a few FCs, and at ARR launch I jumped to a EU server, but I didn't feel at home there (with an old 1.0 LS/FC) I guess I was just away from them too long. So I jumped again when I could, and I am now happy with the same group I had when 1.0 went down.

One thing you could do is if you need to learn any content, Ex mode primals, Coil, Second Coil etc, pop a party recruitment up in PF and label it as a learning party, you will get much more friendly people joining, and you could even make some friends.
