Joining Multiple Grand Companies

Yea, like Aaros said. I checked out Ul'dah & Grid so far. Starter quests were pretty similar. Most or all of the regular items are the same, but the gear is different. Ul'dah had swords & bows, Grid had H2H & wands/staves for CON.

That is absolutely ... meh.. and very crappy about the gear if it carries over to 1.19 and were locked into one company.
I picked Gridania because I wanted to play an archer main, so why would they link archer to UL?
I'd be fine if each one had a different visual or even stats for all classes, but forcing everyone who's an archer to go this and pug to go that? just seems a bit odd..

And what about people who have 2 R50s that need different city's?
