permit FC queueing for Frontline

[Kimikryo]

another one of those threads.

It was clear that choosing an GC willl mean something in the future, and that certain events will limit players from playing with each other when they are in different GC. This also existed in 1.0, i think it was chocobo caravans.

Its always cute to read "We are forced to change our GC" Nobody forces you to do anything, this game offers a lot where GC affiliation doesn't matter at all.

PVP Rank reset sucks though. Because in the Wolf's Den. I am not fighting for my GC but myself. And where is the sense in removing morale from frontlines, when the increased stats from PVP Rank still seem to apply :|

Two things:


(1) No it wasn't, not at all. Many Google searches later & most places say it's merely a matter of aesthetic/statistical preference; the game itself didn't tell us so, and most players don't know how to scour Live Letters or research such hardly touched on topics... most places delineate the choice as superficial.

Even in-game, all you receive is Minfilia essentially telling you to 'go with your heart', to whichever GC delivers the most rousing speech... not much in the way of telling you the choice will have ramifications on playability with friends or gameplay, period.

I've even read a few places people expressing that Yoshi-P essentially told us our choice of GC shouldn't make a substantial difference... I'd consider being forced into a GC I don't like in order to Frontline with friends of different tastes in GC very substantial (especially when significant searching seems to point to the conclusion it's a trivial decision with little-no bearing on playability).


(2) We are forced to change GC's if we want to Frontline alongside a friend of a different GC Affiliation. It's cute when people ignore the context of such points.

I don't necessarily agree different GC members should be intermingled in the same Frontlines group. However, I think it's absolutely ludicrous that your personal PVP experience/rank if forfeited should you decide to switch Grand Companies. That is honestly about the stupidest thing in this game, IMO.
