Here's an odd question that hopefully the devs can/will answer:

Do the 4 people needed to form a Free Company need to come from 4 separate Square-Enix accounts?

I ask, because, as anti-social as it sounds, my husband and I would like to use our main characters, and one alt each to create a free company. We've always wished we could trade rare/ex items between the two of us, and have many of the features that the Free Companies will have, just because we're married. He's more of a battle class player, and I am mainly interested in crafting, with maybe one or two battle classes available. The ability to have shared storage space, and gear we can trade back and forth is extremely appealing. He can dump all the drops he gets from battle into the FC storage, and I can go pick it up later to make him pretty things

The ability to alliance with another Free Company makes this a little less anti-social than it seems
