That’s your problem ahah. Those FCs are only looking for numbers, not members. Try not to join the FCs that randomly ask you to join, or the FCs that spam /shout in the starter cities. They’re not necessarily the best.

Instead, look in the community finder, or search on reddit for smaller FCs advertising. Heck, I dunno if this would work, but maybe even try using /shout in the starter cities and ASKING “hey! I’m looking for a smaller, tight knit FC to join ^-^ please send me a /tell!”

If you’ve still got your sprout icon, even, /shout in limsa lominsa (because it’s the biggest of the three cities) and ask someone to invite you into the novice network. Not only will you have a constant place to chat about the game and ask questions (despite what so many people say, the novice chat is helpful as HECK). But you’ll also be able to ask in there.

I joined my second FC by just saying “My current FC is really big and it’s just... so confusing. Does anyone here have or belong to a small FC?” A few people sent me a /tell asking me what I was looking for in an FC and I explained what I needed. They all explained what they offered and allowed me the space to choose between the offers, or to turn them all down and keep looking!

Don’t feel too bad about not being able to talk in game though - Duty Finder parties are typically just quick run throughs because 9/10 times, everyone there’s already done that dungeon more times than they can count and they just want to be done with it lol.
