Finally, in patch 2.2, as we mentioned in a separate post last week, we are planning to implement a free company alliance system, which will let you join your free companies together to see both member lists, share a chat channel, and have other useful features.

I've poked around multiple places and this is the last place this system was mentioned. I know quite a few people who were looking forward to this system and it's seemed to completely fall off the map. Is this currently still planned? Has it been scrapped?

my guess is since they don't have it ready they will wait to announce it.
heck they might even put it in 2.3 and not say anything about it till the patch notes.
that part wouldn't surprise me at all.
anyone who played FFXI knows SE is notorious for tossing in surprises without mention of them.
just look at all the surprises they tossed in 2.28

Same thing that happened to making full 24 man premade alliances for CT. It got pushed back and then not talked about so that people would eventually forget about them.

They never promised this in CT for 2.1 nor did they promise it for 2.2. They did say they would add it eventually, but that it wasn't a priority. They did exactly what they said they would.

they only promised it was coming no time frame was givin till they mentioned it for 2.3 and if I remember right Yoshi-P stated that if they waited till the full 24 man preformed alliance feature was ready we woulnt have gotten CT in 2.1
