FINAL FANTASY XIV Letter from the Producer LIVE Part III

[yukikaze_yanagi]

just a thing : switching grand company you keep rank or begin from recruit ?

[leomax]

You being from Recruit, but when you switch back after a certain period of time, you will have your ranks. Its just like in 11.

[LlenCoram]

I've said it before, and I'm saying it again here. Anyone who quits the Maelstrom to chase after "lewtz" can stay gone. You're a traitor in the eyes of the Thalassocracy, and we don't need your kind.

Loyalty above all, 'till sea swallows all.

Sasu told us:

Guten Nachmittag,
Good afternoon,

ich habe neue Informationen zum Wechsel staatlicher Gesellschaften für euch. Es wird euch möglich sein, eure staatliche Gesellschaft zu wechseln. Natürlich ist das mit einigen Einschränkungen verbunden. Ihr werdet zum Beispiel nur die Gegenstände eurer aktuellen staatlichen Gesellschaft ausrüsten können.
I have new information for you about changing Grand Companies. It will be possible for you to change your Grand Company. Naturally this has a few restrictions. For example, you will only be able to equip gear from your current Company.

Außerdem wird euer Rang nicht von eurer alten auf eure neue staatliche Gesellschaft übertragen, sondern ihr fangt wieder beim untersten Rang an. Allerdings wird euer alter Rang gespeichert, so dass er nicht verloren geht.
In addition, your rank from your previous company will not be carried over, and instead you will begin from the lowest rank. Your old rank will be saved though, so it doesn't get lost.

Einzelheiten können sich natürlich noch ändern aber das oben genannte ist der aktuelle Plan.
Specifcs can still change, but this is the current plan.

IIRC, our seals from the companies we didn't join were also saved so they should be there for us if we switch.

[Beowolf]

Its completely fair, it actually makes no sense to be able to equip gear from another GC when you don't belong to it lol, do you see your nations soldiers rocking the enemies attire?

but they are allies hence the free companies being able to be from wherever. \O_O/

[Elexia]

but they are allies hence the free companies being able to be from wherever. \O_O/

Free Companies are more in the light of having no official ties.

[Okipuit]

Hey everyone,

Speaking of macros, we wanted to let you know that the UI team has confirmed that you'll be able to change an entire set of gear within one macro.
