small worry on companies

Does anyone else think the gridanian company is going to be underpopulated? i cant really put a finger on it but i feel like the other 2 companies have a much better back story and allure, not to mention the leader, though im sure capable by the games lore, does not really have the look and feel from what i read as someone i'd follow personally. What do you guys think?

Probably doesn't matter, I bet you can group up with anyone to run the dungeons, doesn't matter the allegiance. The Gridania company will fill up when more players stroll into the game. But if its any consolation I was reading the ZAM forums and there is a bunch of people there saying they're sticking with Gridania.

They mentioned that you'll be given equipment as your rank increase with your chosen company, if this somehow leads you to obtaining the weapons such as Gridania's "Claustrum"(Legendary Staff), Casters will have no choice but to flock to Gridania.

Well you might be right, we'll see how Gridania transform first, it will depends from that a
lot in my opinion :>

Hell no this wont happen, because there are no "casters" in this game, there's only an armoury system and they need to cater to that and that only. There is no way they'll restrict you using these methods especially considering you will have no idea what "prizes" you get until way later down the road....you don't even know how many dungeons we're getting in the short term or in the long term.

If it's any consolation, I'll stay with my Gridania!

Which ever is the most rewarding people will stick to, no matter where it is or whatever you plan now.

Gridania is still my favorite city state, so I'll be joining their company whenever I have the opportunity to.

Gridania is currently my top choice specifically because of the leader, along with the lore. I can't say 100% which I will join until I try them all, of course.

Remember, different strokes for different folks. :)

I think personally companies will be a mix of ffxi's home town ranks and Wings city ranks stuff where you had assults. This is according to a deeper lore based info. Saying everyone will have a part to play with in a company. I think any rewarded gear will be based on the santioned guild with in each city. Like Gridania will have gear around archer, conjure, botany, lancer, and carpenter. I'm choosing the Twin adder. Mostly for Rp reasons, but I like the lore of gridania. It reminds me of Zelda :)
