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

[Starlord]

So, as far as I can tell from reading the above, we're bound to only one Grand Company after we pass beyond the rank of recruit. Am I wrong? Will we not be able to experience all Grand Company storylines?

Well, up to the Recruit yes.. but beyond that nope.. unless you complete one.. and theres an option to defect

[Arcell]

Anyone else find it awesome that we can switch companies? A lot of my LS wants to join the Adders, but I'm an Ul'dahn though and through. I don't wanna miss out on any of their adventures because of that.

Not to be a buzzkill but didn't it say that only recruits are free to change? I was under the impression from previous info that past that point you were bound to one of your choice.

So Grand company missions give Seals. Seals can be used to access the new dungeons? I'll be happy if this is the case.

Looks good, only thing I'm *slightly* disappointed about is that rather than building cool-looking company HQs into the cities they're instancing them off separately with the wards. Whatever though, that's easily changeable in the future (this could be temporary, considering they've mentioned redesigning the cities to an extent with the other maps.)

Excited to see how it turns out, don't let us down SE!

I actually do think its temporary. I think they mentioned they may be adjusting the layouts of the cities a bit, so they may hold off on Grand Company HQs till then.

Idn.. It sounds right.. Why else would you get selas.. its a type of Currency they say.. so you buy gear and weapons with it.. that much seems to be a given...

[Holy_Dragoon]

Yes, I do think that Seals will also provide rewards, in addition to giving members access to dungeons.
Here's how I see it happening.

• Do 5 missions to get 10 Seals.
• After mission 5, Dungeon is accessible.
• Cost to enter, 3 Seals.
• Item cost 5 Seals

Meaning you have to pick and choose what to spend your Seals on.

I hope they have repeatable Missions ( that aren't fromt he story plot) or else this can be very difficult getting into Dungeons all the time :P

[Holy_Dragoon]

I would think they would be repeatable, with certain missions being Plot events that are not repeatable.

I am excited about Grand Companies. I am disappointed that things are being added in instances via Market Wards menu. I new content to be in the city. There is so much space!! None of it used for anything. Why do we have to port to a desk in a ward?

Thank you for stuff to do, but please bring our cities to life!!

Its not actually in the "Market Wards" its a separate instance that you just go to the same area you would go to for the Market Wards then Select Adder's Nest
