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

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.

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

So create/join a new one. One where everyone is on the same Grand Company. I'm sure there will be events that include all Grand Companies. There are three right now, four when Ishgard is opens up (Dragoons!), and maybe five when Ala Mhigo is taken back and rebuilt.

The whole point of the Grand Companies is to create allegiances and work as a team something a lot of MMO's lack.

Also, you don't have to commit to one at first. You can try out each one before you swear fealty to one. Great idea BTW SE

My LS is a little be more close knit than that. I only plan on carrying one or two extra LSs and that is only for communicative purposes. I know who I'd like to play with, I just want us all to enjoy whatever company we choose. =p

So vote for just one and then go with that. Keep in mind the cataclysmic nature of the lore in this game. Who's to say a City-State will be around forever?

Just a thought, but all the companies are supposed to work together to fight the oncoming doom. Not fight each other. ^^;

True, but it doesn't mean we can't compete in other ways.
