Which Company for Which Class Info

I'm hoping they get a bit more creative with gear in the future. All the new content with NMs, dungeons and bosses seems to have cut the importance of crafters to novelty gear and repairs, especially with weapons now.

Ideally we'll see it where you start to get material drops and then these have to be crafted into the final items. Or something that doesn't cut out crafters from the equation in the end.

Well, they did this originally. Dodore is a good example of one such NM that drops materials for the crafting of very good gear. My issue is that all of the new weapons that can be bought seem to just be re-skins of existing weapons. No PS2 limitations this time around so they should go nuts with the variety of designs on weapons.

PS3 limitations?

PS3 limitations?

Won't exist according to a pre-alpha interview and the reason why they didn't make an additional port to 360.

I really do not like the placement of the weapons. Just seems to me like the companies would support the guilds within their own city.

Will the Grand Companies stuff affect linkshells, or pvp maybe?

That makes me sad

I'm just making sure that I haven't missed something in any of the threads, so forgive me if this has already been covered.
Are we still waiting for a response regarding the rewards? Yoshi seemed to imply before that we should choose a company based on our preference of the story and company 'philosophy', but I wasn't sure if we should be considering the potential company specific rewards. Has there been any clarification on if each company might have gear that is specific to certain classes, or if each company would have relatively comparable gear for all classes?

I think it would be totally TITS if eventually the Maelstrom had weapons to cross-train and become a Musketeer.

[Mudd]

Anyone think that its a type of hidden ploy by the companies.
Twin Adder: "Let's offer up some pugilist weapons as a reward to our recruits to steal some people from the Immortal Flames since they will already have many pugilists in their ranks because of the Pugilists guild sitting within their walls"
Either way, whats more important to you; material items or your home city?
