Happy to see anything~!

What do you guys think?

I'm a bit bummed that it looks like we can't be a part of all the different city-state companies.



Reference:


"The Grand Companies of Eorzea Return!
The Grand Companies of Eorzea are a military alliance of nations united in common cause to avert imminent catastrophe from engulfing the realm, each city-state charged with mustering its resources under the banner of an elite regiment. At their commanders' behests, the companies have begun petitioning able men and women to join their ranks regardless of birth and standing. In due time, that selfsame clarion call will sound out to those intrepid individuals known as adventurers.

To be a part of the Grand Companies is to be a part of history in the making. Grow strong through cooperation and rivalry, and earn yourself boundless glory and a place in history. Will you lend your stout sword arm to the cause?


Do Your Part for the Survival of Eorzea!
The first step to joining the Grand Companies involves enlisting in one of three regiments: the Maelstrom, helmed by Chief Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn; the Order of the Twin Adder, lead by Elder Seedseer Kan-E-Senna; or the Immortal Flames, commanded by Flame General Raubahn Aldynn. To ensure the optimal allocation of manpower, a trial enlistment system will be established whereby individuals can discover firsthand with which company's ethos they most closely identify—it matters not wherefrom one hails.

In time, you will find yourself prompted to formally enlist. To which company would you swear allegiance? For whom would you lay down life and limb? Only you will know the answer to these questions.

Upon induction, you will be awarded the initial rank given to all new recruits, and may count yourself among elite. Company members will be assigned missions vital and diverse in nature, ranging from skirmishes with Garlean forces and savage beast tribes to supply replenishment and manufacturing. Whatever your strength and specialty, rest assured in the knowledge that your presence will make a difference.

Prove your worth by unfailingly completing the tasks assigned, and you will climb the ranks and be entrusted with missions of greater import and issued powerful equipment befitting your prowess. As a special provision exempts adventurers from bound service, you are free to take up the cause at your own pace and convenience. Yet know that disaster waits for no man, like a dark cloud overhead spreading its shadowy demesne ahead of the coming storm. And when the day of reckoning arrives, all adventurers will find their steel tested to the farthest limit. "

That would be kinda lame, I want to compete with the other GCs!

As for the page, I'm even more hyped, I can't for patch 1.18.

For Glory and For Limsa Lominsa! /salute

[Munba]

Yeah, some competitions finally. And i like they created 3 newspapers for the 3 nations.

Btw..

Screenshots depict content under development.

Well, it's hard for Linkshells though. If half want to go to one and the other to another...it could be difficult? I guess I can't really say...maybe all this is just solo activities.

Still don't really know anything i didn't already know, more boring pointless vague information.

Well, boring is an opinion. But it confirms some things, vague or not. It is information, you shouldn't be so ungrateful for it. -. -

Non-ls based content please. There's hardly anyone on my server so asking us to group up is a bit too much to ask with the current tools we have.

SE WOULD IT KILL YOU TO INCLUDE ALL THIS STORYTELLING IN THE ACTUAL GAME PLEASE?!!!?!

Why not let people see this info in the game in a newspaper or something? Or meaningful NPC dialogue for once?! Dammit it's so frustrating to watch the actual website of the game to beat the actual game it's about.

It probably won't matter which GC you're a part of when you do the dungeons, but we'll see.

This is not what this game needs. The future of this game is still very uncertain. They shouldn't be teasing us with stuff like this that dosen't really tell us anything. They should be providing clear information about what they plan on doing with this game. I'm tired of waiting for updates only to then still not learn anything.
