Producer and director Naoki Yoshida is aware that this particular issue has been a source of considerable frustration for players who want to play alongside their real-world friends, and has apologized for it numerous times. You too will soon be able to loom imposingly over a friend you haven't been able to play with until now. While the Duty Finder facility in the game allows players from different servers to team up and take on the game's cooperative content, there's presently no easy means of communicating or partnering up with a specific person from another World. There's one problem, though: character creation restrictions during the launch window meant that a significant number of people were forced into starting play on a server that was different to the one their friends were on. The vast majority of these appear to have been resolved now, and playing the game is a very stable, smooth experience. Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email you've been playing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn since it launched, chances are you ran into some of the server issues the game was encountering.
