(opens in new tab) To address this, Foursquare Enix has created multiple copies of each zone in the expansion to proceed things running smoothly.

While FF14 does its best to continue you lot in the same instances as your friends or political party members, it'south still possible to be separate upward. I popped out of a dungeon with a pal but to find we'd both been placed in separate copies of the same zone, despite beingness in the aforementioned political party.

FFXIV modify example: How to make certain you lot're playing with friends

Whenever you load into a zone, the game volition tell you in the chatbox what example you lot're on. Each i volition be the name of the zone followed by a number. So if you travel to Onetime Sharlayan, it will say Old Sharlayan one, Old Sharlayan 2 etc. If for some reason it didn't popular up in chat or it's gotten lost, y'all can blazon '/instance' to be told where you currently are.

Unfortunately, there's no way of telling at a glance what case number your friends are on. Drop them a '/tell' to double-check where they are.

How to movement to another instanced area

If you and your friends are in the same zone, but in different instances, it'south relatively easy to get on the same one. Only teleport to the area's closest aetheryte, right-click on it and select 'Travel to Instanced Expanse.' From there, it'll listing all the current instances available. Just click on whatsoever instance number your friends are on and it'll whiz you over to the same i as them.

Note that this simply works if you're on the same server. If 1 friend is on Odin and the other is on Twintania, for instance, you won't be able to meet up unless one of you travels to a different server—though with the ongoing Error 2002 (opens in new tab) problem it might not be ideal. The instanced areas also but use to new areas introduced in Endwalker, every bit they're currently the most congested.
