FC alliances

It's sad that there aren't much active players on FFXIV.. I think we have too much servers based on how little players play actively.

I think a new "Alliance" option could change that. It doesn't really make sense to have an alliance chat during raids while having no actual alliance option in the game.
An FC should be allowed to ally themselves with up to max 3 other FC's.

In this situation the FC chat box would be shared with other allied FC, but each FC would have their own text color that you can change just like you can for FC chat right now (and just like the ability to show the time in front of your text, you could also show the FC tag [COL] in front of it).

I believe the combined social behavior could boost the ability to find someone to play a simply duty (like dailies) with in case several people are on a timeout or holiday. And it would be easier to find groups for specific events such as maps that not everyone might be interested in. I think this option is valid for smaller sized to medium sized FC's that want to have fun without having to spam recruit all the time.

So just like linkshells but with fancy colors? And wasn't there another social thing added relatively recently, fellowships or something? I'm not sure that we need yet another one.

No this could be a great idea if handled well. They could add permissions to allow access to housing for fc to share houses which would help with the housing shortage, actions could stack, there could be a separate alliance point system, like fc points with items that would be more exclusive to or help benefit the fc system overall. It doesn't have to be just another ls, they could do a whole lot from it.

And most importantly, it could encourage belonging to an fc in the first place, because as it stands right now, there is really no need to join one.

I agree with it, I liked alliances in GW and it would be nice to have them here too, have FC form close relations and all rather than being an isolated thing.
It would also help the people who want to keep their small FC to be still part of a bigger group.

They've mentioned FC alliances in the past as a feature.
But it seems it's gone the way of overworld primal summoning and just isn't meant to be.

There is more than enough players playing the game and online of all time and such, problem is everyone want to make an FC, need to eliminate 1 person FC's and make it mandatory that 6 different accounts has a character in whatever FC, it will also make the black market FC house selling harder to do.

Hmm this is kinda convincinn, however maybe there should be suggestion that FC house owners need to ally with at least 1 FC non-house owner, if the whole point is to share access and belonging.

Otherwise we may see non-House owner FC being left out or discriminated because people will claim they don’t have any assets to bring.
