The Grand Companies Are Coming! (07/15/2011)

[Sephr]

Gonna have to be Limsa for me. Nothing like working under a strong woman with authority In all seriousness though it's where the Musketeer's guild is and they have boat magic. What else could one want?

As far as "Will it be like XI?" goes, from how people are explaining it I don't see how it could be different. There are many games that do similar things though so it's not just from XI. Join faction, do missions for faction, accrue currency and renown in said faction, redeem for stuff, do more missions, etc.... It's not exactly a new thing though there are a variety of ways to handle it I suppose.

At any rate it doesn't sound like bad content so to me that's good content.

It certainly doesn't sound bad, I think it was a great system in XI and would have made the cut if they took the best parts of that game to make the new one.

If they're REALLY smart, they will pace these Grand Company storyline missions slowly from Rank 22 - 50+

From a content perspective, i'd rather see thirty main storyline missions at one per level,
Than a 22 one, 32 one, 42 one, and 27 top rank ones,
as the former would create a legitimate content based progress to rank 50.

But hey, in any case, i am looking forward to this.

Yeah I hope for something similar. It would've been nice if the missions that stopped at rank 15 had carried on via the companies, but honestly I'm not sure that would work now considering you can select any company no matter where you start, unless they simply accommodate for that in the storyline.

I dont understand why the Company Headquarters need to be accessed by teleporting through the wards. In much the same way as the Path of the Twelve, there is no reason this cant be a physical place in each city. There are so many roads and doors blocked off that it almost seems lazy to not fill the places, but rather create another instance.

I think the Development Team is waiting on the hardware/server issues to be resolved before they start making structural changes to the zones. At least that is what I am hoping.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping as well. We know they're planning to change up the cities though, so don't worry!

well they are supposedly re-doing lots of the maps, including the citys, so for me its a moot point, might be completely different down the road....besides im not exactly against mass crowing at counters (lag hell)

Yeah its probably Instances for the time Being, till they have everything put in place for the places that have Instances to be part of the world
