Not sure if this is the best place to post this suggestion.
It would be nice if FCs can have subsidiary FCs - which can be completely, partly, or not at all owned by the encompassing FC.
In general, while FFXIV's social tools are adequate, it could be better. FCs within FCs I felt would be an improvement.
Recently 2 members left the FC I'm in because they wanted to start their own - for the purpose of sharing crafting mats. Could have been avoided if FCs can take other FCs as members - FC chat will be viewable by all FC and sub-FC members; sub-FC chat will be viewable only to sub-FC members.

Sry. Such is life. FCs come and go. They weren't satisfied for whatever reason and they left. It happens.
I sympathize, but ultimately is this a worth-while expenditure of dev time? -

As it stands, all FCs contribute to individuals is small experience boosts and additional storage.
Giving a sub-faction to a clique within an FC is already somewhat of an option through linkshells and friends list. What value is added by coding a shell within a shell? How is organization enhanced beyond already existing options? How does it become easier for FCs to team up? A "we are affiliated with this other FCs subfaction." in a dialouge box describing the relationship doesnt make it true or any more convenient to team up.
BL: I run with 5-6 other players consistently In my FC. We have a LS just for us. I also have a LS for my Saturday Static, and my Hunt Brigade. Coding additional organization options is pretty moot. -

I want to see better "organisation tools" - this is after all a social, massive multiplayer online RPG.
With sub-FCs we can have huge multi-level organisations. Such organisations can accomplish even more - be it FC crafting projects, raids, ... etc.
Can you fake multi-level organisations with LSs? Sure, but keep track of everything will be a pain in the behind.
