Not sure if this is the best place to post this suggestion.

It would be nice if FCs can have subsidiary FCs - which can be completely, partly, or not at all owned by the encompassing FC.

In general, while FFXIV's social tools are adequate, it could be better. FCs within FCs I felt would be an improvement.

Recently 2 members left the FC I'm in because they wanted to start their own - for the purpose of sharing crafting mats. Could have been avoided if FCs can take other FCs as members - FC chat will be viewable by all FC and sub-FC members; sub-FC chat will be viewable only to sub-FC members.
