    Please allow us to join all three companies

    I know the team planned to let us join only one company, and I can see the value of making a choice, but honestly I think the game, at the moment, needs to make every little piece of content available to every player. It's not like we have too much to begin with.

    Maybe let people chose a "primary" company, and give them the ability to join the other two as "guests" or something similar, allowing them to still rank up as normal (doing all the quests and enjoying cutscenes and such), but limiting their access to some of the rewards that should be given only by the primary company. For instance chocobos and such.

    This will also avoid people chosing a company according to the rewards, resulting in companies only by players that have favored classes compatible with the rewards given (for instance as it stands now every gladiator would join the Ul'dah company).

    No..because if you don't start the value of joining one company only now, regardless of lack of content, then later on there won't be any value to them at all...

    Keep them how they are...and wait for more content.

    Why should there be a "value" in joining a company? We're here to enjoy the game (all of it), not to look for a "value"

    Also, unless all cities will give rewards for all classes, we'll be pretty much forced (or at least encouraged) to join the city with the rewards we want unless we can join all three. Which pretty much voids the idea of choosing freely.

    This. I don't know the exact implications, but I don't think I'll be seeing as much of my friends as I do now since they have to go off to other companies for X hours / days, and grouping with them will decrease. I could go make more friends, but I'm out of friend dust and wine...

    this

    and as i recall the devs intention with companies was also to give players the possibility to chose their own favourite nation to aid despite the chars starting location. the individual rewards do limit this quite a bit if we can only join one company. :\

    How do you know that the Gridania company don't give you a Lance after you joined them? You have only seen the recruit shop list, not the whole list. The NPC say this to you, too. They only show you the whole list after you joined them.

    They could just do it like XI if you was with bastok on campaign and you wanted to buy an item from sandy you had to pay an 20% increase for the item you wanted

    But that would defeat the purpose of having pride in one nation... I loved that about XI. I was a Sandy Taru when most of my ls buddies were all Windurstians. I remember years ago when "Lastok" was a running joke and we'd always wait to see the weekly results to see how all the nations were doing. My friends and I had a laugh one day when Bastok finally took first place.
