Hi, there. I've been on Balmung since the server opening, but never got a chance to look into roleplay and whatnot. I decided to pop in here and introduce myself, as..

My partner and I are rolling a GLA and ACN (future PLD and SCH) duo on Balmung and are interested in finding a general in-game content FC that is RP friendly. We basically like to enjoy the game at our own pace, and also want to be able to RP at our own pace. (We're 10+ years experienced roleplayers, who novella/paragraph roleplay (5+ sentences).) We're looking for a FC that we can pop in, say hi, small talk, see if anyone wants to Fate and/or dungeon, and maybe join some group roleplays. No silly requirements or stresses.

I've been looking through the directories here, but it seems there aren't many FCs or everyone requires something like a hardcore application. May resort to shouting in Gridania, but we'll see.

Look forward to getting to know some of you!

Hello Saber!

Welcome to the HRPC,
I thought I might as well be the first to reply by saying welcome
and also offer Equilibrium as a possible place for you and your partner
to possibly find a casual Free Company home....
I shall leave a link for you below to have a read,
should you or your partner have any questions feel free to contact me in game;
Elaris Strywin, reply here, or the Equilibrium thread.
hope to hear from you two soon possibly.

And I don't think I made the Facets' application too brutal... Wink

Thank you for the replies. I'll check into these FC's soon!

Hello there, Saber! Welcome to the RPC, good to have you here! I love the Fate series, by the way. Harbingers of the Dawn is a good-aligned, med-heavy RP FC dedicated to protecting and aiding the citizens of Eorzea. We also have an IC LS. We'd be happy to have you! You can learn more about us here or on our site. Please contact me if you're interested! I think we'd fit what you're looking for. Also, I'm happy to RP anytime so feel free to approach me if you see me around!

Hmmm, i'm a bit late to the party, but Welcome to the RPC none the less!

Hope you had the chance to have a good weekend, maybe plug away at some levels, or chat with a few people.

The other three have made some suggestions, so I hope you don't mind if I offer up my own.

As a start for the PVE aspect of the game you could take a look at:
http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=5045
A linkshell dedicated to getting people interested in partying together. I'm in "2" myself and its fairly active, no requirement to attend X number of dungeons or anything so I can often keep to my hermity-self, jumping in an ocassional Aurum Vale or something along those lines.

http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=1902
That linkshell "Intermission" should serve to get you in touch with people, again no obligation, just a friendly set of groups who chat, mention where and when they might be and all that. OOC and on its third iteration (some one feel free to correct me if they've made a fourth.)

I hope that helps you (and your partner) get in touch with some interesting people. Always happy to see people of an experienced RP background enter the scene, might I ask where you two may have been in the past? I (aside from MMOs) mostly use Table Top for my roleplaying fix, although I spent quite a bit of time between Gaia and a few other less well known sites in the past for my fix.

Ah well, best of luck in Eorzea to you both, and feel free to flag me down if you see me running about, twelve knows I could probably use a break from harvesting! Cactuar

Hello and welcome! :DÂ

I hope you enjoy the RP (which is quite plentiful on this server) and manage to find the right FC for you!

See you in game. C:

Thank you for this amazing post! Both LS' are exactly what I was looking for (always trying to run dungeons with people from on the server, as Duty Finder doesn't have that same sense of community).

My partner and I tend to be pretty quiet and stick to ourselves until we shove our nose into something, so that looking for RP LS is right up our alleys, too. I think we're going to just try out these LSs and then join a non-roleplay FC since all of the FCs aren't our style. (Required roleplay activity, required about of activity in general, required contact off the game.)

So, once again, thank you for this amazing post, Olofantur!

And thank you everyone else for the warm welcome and recommendations.

Eta: I forgot to mention our roleplay backgrounds! We range from MMOs, to forums, to MUDs (way back when), to chats, to Dreamwidth/Livejournal, to messengers. Tons of different mediums, all online and through text. Heh.
