I have to agree with you Jinrya, if given a choice I would never have joined a Grand Company (I never did in 1.0) - I feel like I've been compulsorily conscripted into it just to advance the storyline. We're free adventurers not soldiers! If Enki wanted to be a soldier she would have joined the actual army, not a watered-down volunteer regiment created simply to plug manpower holes in the citystates's respective militaries.
She goes where Azeyma guides her (and the gilpouch at the end of it!), not bowing to orders from an arrogant ex-pirate, an oafish refugee from Ala Mhigo and his figurehead monarch girlfriend, or a forest changeling.
But... because the Warden had other ideas, Enki ended up with the Order of the Twin Adder, as she found herself becoming very fond of Gridania and it's people, even if they were a bit xenophobic at times. :p Not to mention Gridania's motto: Serenity, Purity, Sanctity really strikes a chord with Enki, who became somewhat pious following her return after the Calamity. ;)

Twin Adders ftw. Theres an on going joke in my guild to see who will pull more members. So far Immortal flames is leading by 2 members to the Twin Adders. We must Prevail!

I expected to choose Immortal Flames because I started in Ul'dah and got to know the Sultana and the challenges facing her city. Her general gave a terrible speech about how greedy Ul'dah is. After the calamity, the world needs to work together, not become self serving isolationists.
Maelstrom gave a rallying speech, but they're a bunch of badasses with no vision. They won't provide leadership beyond helping themselves.
Twin Adder has the broadest purpose, yet Gridania has a poor layout and trains many of its people to fight with magic sticks. It's ridiculous, so I joined them with a decent set of armor. I'll try to keep some of them alive long enough to make a difference.
If they're too idealistic to get anything done, I may leave for Maelstrom. At least they'll get into some good fights. I feel bad for the Sultana and her people, but I can be more effective in one of the other companies. She needs politicians and merchants more than she needs adventurers.

I chose Twin Adders as it was the faction for my starting city and the cut scene won me over. They stood for what i could see my character standing for... :D
-
I rolled a Miqo'te, A cat person in the navy made me chuckle a bit, so I rolled with it.

Limsa!! I think limsa has a better leader IMO lol.
-
i chose maelstrom because they seem more screwed problem-wise than the rest of the city-states
-
I chose the Flames because Raubahn holds the Sultana like a parakeet :p.
-
Immortal Flames because their base is right next to the Uldah port.
-
I chose Immortal Flames of Ul'dah because it's my favorite city, thus my character's surname is Ulstar.
