I received pearls for the linkshells The Tavern and Friends of Momodi tonight while learning the ins and outs of the rather wonky PS4 controls. Thank you to Orrin and Micah for the pearls and to Aya, Nako'li, Kurt/Keil, Emerald, Bear and the Lominsan miqo'te who sent me the initial /tell about Friends of Momodi and gave me tons of newbie-appropriate advice (I don't know your forum name! T^T)

Really enjoyed meeting so many of you OOCly in-game this evening. Looking forward very much to getting my RP on--probably with an Ul'dahn alt for the moment while I level Kamome a bit and get her in a decently character-appropriate outfit.Â

Tomorrow I'll be in Ul'dah on Yvane Ashdale (by far my most outgoing characrer concept right now) for a peek at what Quicksand RP looks like. If anyone has a character who is ICly in the Immortal Flames and 30+ years old, let me know if you want to have a bar fight date with my Ul'dahn character (don't worry, she's a horrible fighter.) Basically her deal is that her old man was a Flame Commander who completely botched a raid into Amalj'aa territory and every one of his men killed, including himself. Yvane is broke after paying for his burial and funeral rites and etc. to the Priesthood of Thal, and is now a struggling merc with a huge chip on her shoulder. She's also been ICly rejected multiple times by both the Brass Blades and the Immortal Flames, if anyone wants to take that angle.

Thanks again to everyone! All of you made me feel so comfortable and the LS's are great fun.

Y'know you could have asked me about the PS4 controls seeing as I'm on the ps4 almost 50% of the time I'm playing XD. Though my advice would be to get a USB keyboard, any USB keyboard to streamline the typing.

Oh yeah fun fact, in case you didn't know, circle strafing on the ps4 is easier than on a pc. Target an enemy and click the left stick and you'll automatically lock on to it/him/her, move stick left and right to circle around him and forward and backward to close the gap or make some distance. Take note this is the backpedal thing, so you're walking backwards which might make it hard for you to avoid those radial AOEs. Still I find it useful on all three of my characters, Keil/Kurt/Alicen.Â

Another thing you might not know is that if you move forward and tap L1 you'll autorun in that direction. Whereas if you hold down L1 and move the right stick you can zoom in or out of your character. It's helped me type out responses for Alice whenever she's strolling Thanalan/ La Noscea with *Boyfriend.*

Want to tag or mark enemies? Target them then click square to open up a small list of things you could do with it. Of course the list also appears when targeting allies or objects. Need to emote quickly without having to go options>right>social>emote? That's the way to go, but is also moot if you have a keyboard since you can probably type /whatever faster than square>emote>select emote.Â

I'll try to see what other somewhat useless tidbits of information I can gleam from playing on the PS4. Of course, someone's probably already taught you this.
