Changing grand companys.

[Hollow_Tears]

When i change to a different grand company will the previous gc achievements stats freeze or will i have to redo all the achievements again for that gc when and if i decide to back.

All of your achievements, seals, and other such stuff are kept. However, of course, you can't work on achievements or get seals for your old GC, and you also cannot use the gear until you switch back. Still, if you were quite masochistic you could get all the achievements for each GC. Good luck.

Just know that once you change, there's a 30 day wait until you can change again. The game doesn't tell you until it's too late, of course.

Greetings,

We apologize if you’ve changed grand companies and were unaware of the 30 day restriction to change again. The team is working to make this clear in-game.

One of the main reasons why this limitation was created was because we really want you to have a sense of belonging when it comes to grand companies. We realize that the way people feel differs from person to person, but we appreciate your understanding on this.

What are you concerned about? I mean, you say it as if you're running with dozens Grand Company recruits around or something like that...

since i got everything from them?

Up to now.

I could have sworn this is not the first time they have mentioned this. But I agree they probably need to make this clearer. An ingame help text or something that plainly says: "Doing this has a lasting effect, you will not be able to change again for 30 days" or something like that. If they want to keep immersion, you could be like: "Hey, Adventurer, We are glad you are joining The Maelstrom, but just know you are going to make your current GC very mad at you. I don't think they are going to even be willing to talk to you again for another 30 days. Are you sure you want to join?"

First off, you are fighting for everyone. They make this a very "we want everyone to get along" kind of game. So I doubt they would ever add the option. The even explain in the story, something along the lines of, you are choosing a company to help defend their respective lands, and it is a mutually beneficial relationship. It isn't just about the "items" you can get from them, there is actual story things happening by you being part of that GC. So even if you are trying to argue this from an RP standpoint, it falls apart. Because it just wouldn't happen. The Waking Sands guys wanted you to join one of their ranks, so if you were going to listen to them at all, then you would do as you were told... if you were going to go all renegade on them, then, well, you wouldn't listen to them at all with even simple things like, go kill Ifrit, go protect these people... So thus, you would have died off at around level 20. Great for RP! But congrats on being stuck at 20.
