GRAND COMPANIES & linkshells. QUESTION

I am mainly hoping a community rep will respond to this one.

The companies say it does not matter which city you originally started in, but will having linkshell members all signed to the same company make a difference. & WILL you be able to change companies if you dont like the missions?
thanks,
just trying to plan

no mention about linkshell members doing the missions but this was on the post on lodestone

As recruits are not yet bound to an organization, adventurers are encouraged to use this opportunity to discover firsthand with which company's ethos they most closely identify.

Which should mean for now atleast you can change which company you are with

This also means at a certain rank, you are thrown in with them for life? At least until some memory wiping npc comes along. That's how it always goes, right?

ahhh FFXI.. how those days were good when I switched nations....

Either at some rank, or until SE says there locking everyone to the company they are with in a patch.

I would definitely like to hear official word on this prior to release of companies. That will play a big part in what company I choose. Do I go with my social LS? My crafting LS? Or one of my two content LSs? What if they are all split up?

I want to know: Regardless of what company we are in, can we still assist others with their company quests?
And also: What are the restrictions on switching companies?

Tag, you're it, Bay!

bump ooya.

they should let people do all 3 cities missions regardless of alliance just like the ranking we had in FF XI with every city, if you had completed all the story missions from one nation you could switch to swear alliance with any other city, even if you didnt finish all the quest to rank 10, that will make the content more vast in my op.

I don't think the wording on the update is all that difficult to understand.

From what it says, we can gather that each Company has 1 "recruit" quest that you can take without having to commit to that one company. This means you can try them all out before you choose.

Then, you choose a company and STICK WITH IT. I don't think it's that complicated.

I dont think it'll matter seeing as the 3 companies have to work together anyway...unless theres some key background info im missing out on

Raids and stuff like that will probably have to do with all 3 companies so it won't matter which one you're in... I hope.

pretty sure the top reason to pick witch one is ...what rewards come from them. doesn't anyone else see this company stuff sounding just like campaign ops and signet? each city will have different rewards to pick from most likely so u can only chose one at some point.

I truly hope that any company content that is for groups can be done with people in different companies. I would like to do any such content with my LS, but I also really want to join the Gridania company. And if we all have to join the same company to play together . . . well . . . I think my LS is more likely to decide to relocate to WoW than they are to join the Gridania company. :p

And I suspect that if LS's have to collectively decide on which company to join together, there will be very few joining Gridania's company and many people that would have joined it otherwise won't. While most people can deal with Ul'dah, and I don't know anyone that can't stand Limsa Lominsa, some people just hate the Black Shroud (and tend to be rather vocal about it). ;_;

They did imply that your company will be permanent after the recruit rank so it wouldn't make sense if every member of a linkshell had to choose the same one. If that was the case wouldn't linkshells start only inviting people that were members of their company? I would hope they wouldn't want linkshells to operate that way.
