Hey all. While I am not actually looking to join a clan, it would be great if we could play together. IGN: Solitude_Jar, am up for pretty much any game type really. I am relatively new (been playing for a couple of months), and have been going through the game mostly solo or with PUGs. Looking forward to questing with you all! =)

Has there been any news on active guilds? I can't really tell since most of these threads seem to stop abruptly (which makes sense since why would anyone come back and say "we got in"). I'm actually tempted to try and get one going if there isn't. But I'll wait a bit and see if there are replies from the previous guilds on here first! =)

EDIT: Also if it is still active, please add me, ID: den7525

Hey! I've also just started about a month and a half ago, and have solo-ed most of the time (with the occasional daily random dungeons). I'm playing as a Tank/Healer Templar on PC, NA megaserver. It would be nice to actually have a small casual group to adventure with every now and then. I am currently living in Brunei (Southeast Asia, UTC+08.00) and tend to play around 7 to 10+ pm (local time) on weekdays. I keep play time more fluid on weekends/public holidays/days off work.

EDIT: Just realized that you are asking about ps4 players. Sorry about that! =P

Hey, I am interested to be a part of this as well. I am currently a Templar tank with supplementary healing that's one level shy of veteran at 49. Have been soloing and depending on duty-finder for dungeons so far (focused on PvE). Would just like to have better communication, and not have to skip text and speed run every single group event in the game =) Thanks, hope to enjoy the game with you all soon!

FFXIV: ARR. Running on desktop high, with a pseudo-soft shadows settings switched off. Not a fan of MMOs, but this one has me roped in good. The scenery can be quite breathtaking at times.

Hey all,

I recently gave the FFXIV trial (steam) a go, and ended up hooked on it, and have since subscribed. I was wondering if anyone here is interested in giving it a try as a new player? I ask this for two reasons: 1) because I find that despite the community being generally really nice and friendly, I would much rather prefer to spend time with other people who are just figuring things out as well, and 2) due to a lack of foresight on my part I have registered under a mainly Japanese-speaking world (Radill in the Gaia servers). Number two is the main reason really -_- , but number one is super important too. I'm just more comfortable playing with a relatively smaller group of people where we stumble as a team and learn on the fly, rather than having a couple of really experienced players just walk us through.

Just FYI:

1) the steam trial, as the name suggests, is free and you can essentially play the game (with some social features being restricted) until the level 35 quests;

2) I am currently living in Brunei (Southeast Asia, UTC+08.00) and the time difference can be quite large.

If anyone is interested we can start a discord channel and take it further from there.

Hope to hear from people soon!

Aah, I see. I think the fact that higher rarity = higher max familiarity and stat slots are the main thing I wasn't getting (I have often got purple drops that have only 2 familiarity slots and/or 2 skills). Will definitely give this a try the next time I boot up Nioh! =D Thanks.

@peacebrother:All I'm saying is that I like the heavy catalogue of all the swords in Nioh and the Dark Souls games. Would be bummed if they weren't there/lessened.

Also this. For some reason I like matching full shinobi outfit with youngblood body armour. Must be a carry over from the fact that I really enjoyed Ninja Gaiden. Can't wait to get a white set of armour so I can match it with the warrior monk's hood in order to cosplay as a shadow clan ninja from NG1 Chapter 1!

@bkbroiler: Yes: soul matching raises the selected weapon up to the "fodder" weapon's level. If the fodder weapon has an inherited trait, then it will pass onto the selected weapon IFF the fodder weapon's familiarity level is maxed (as in you fill in whatever max familiarity level it has, not the overall familiarity capacity itself). Of course there are occasionally some exceptions to this. Thankfully familiarity goes up for a weapon even if it is not used, but as long as it is in the secondary slot. This familiarity build-up applies to all weapons: melee or ranged, as long as it is in weapon slot 1/2 or ranged slot 1/2.

Fair enough, but the sword is like the Ryu of these type of games. Wouldn't a Street Fighter without Ryu feel a bit odd?
