Please allow us to join all three companies

[KitCat]

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.

Hahaha

< Proud Bastokan for 5 years.

Getting some of those outpost warps were a LONG time coming. Like the saruta ones O_O. Sure felt good when I got them though.

That's another thing I miss about FFXI hah, I'd almost forgotten.


As for the OP, just switch when you're done with one. It's what I'll do. When I get the item I want I'll switch back to my own cities company. All the extra work for a few items is a pain but oh well. The items might not even end up being useful.

Hehe, yeah I had nothing against Bastok =) In fact, Gustaberg was my favorite place to level new jobs back in the day (I just loved the music!). But yeah, it was great having pride in a nation and just focusing on one for a bit. When "Lastok" started winning 1st and 2nd place, it definitely made a lot of us Sandies and Windies start taking things a bit more seriously. It was kinda fun!

Everyone seems to want to stick with just one company, and completely ignored my thread about Changing Allegiance.

I would like the idea to be able to join all three after certain circumstances have been met, but not able to change company without consequence.

You forget that you were always able to switch allegiance later on. For a good price and dire consequences.

Uh yeah no I didn't forget you could switch. I'm commenting on OP suggesting we should experience all of them at once rather than being able to switch down the line.

I'm all for having the option of switching Companies in the long run, just not with being able to experience all three at once despite having one as a focus and the others in a minimal capacity.

ahh i see. My bad, i thought you just didn't know or something. lol but with that said, there really wouldn't be a reason for three separate companies to exist in the first place, ya know?

Yeah, and I do understand OP a bit! I really hope that eventually all three Companies will offer gear for every class, but I do think it'll be fun to focus on one team and see how your Company does in the long run =) I wonder if we'll get a weekly tally type thing...

I'd like that, and just a random thought, what if they can use those tally marks to be able to purchase equipment from other companies?

Lets say Uldah has the leading tally. Uldah can purchase items from other companies (whether it be at discount, same price, or 20% increase. Or perhaps start at increased priced, and if Uldah leads again, goes to normal price, etc. This way there is more of an incentive to stay in the lead.)

Limsa would be in second, and will only be able to purchase Gridanian items at x1.50

Gridania only has access to their own items.

You can join all 3 as a recruit.

But no, I say stick with one. FFXI sure as hell didn't allow you to be a part of more than 1 at the same time and I believe in nation pride.

If anything I'll be fine with future nation representations being separate, comparing Ishgard to Aht Urhgan or your present day nation to your past nation affiliation when using FFXI examples.

If you mean being open to joining others after picking one, then that's okay too as long as the game finds a fitting punishing for jumping.

[Estellios]

I personally don't mind only joining one as long as we can help friends in other companies with their quests/etc. There's a decent spread of armor among all 3 for DoW/DoM/DoH/DoL and the only really restrictive stuff is the weapons. If we have to pick the same company in order to help each other it would only make the problem worse.

[Ainilome]

I in no way want to join all three companies, I muchly prefer to be loyal to one and have a sense of "home" in the game.

However, I'm really really praying that you can do the content be they leves or quests with people from other countries. I remember the days of trying to track down a full party of Windurst citizens for some inane high level quest in XI. However they work it, I just hope that every body present to help kill things doesn't have to be of the same alliance.

I admit ... a lot of this hope is because I'm the lone Gridania in a group of stinky Uldah lovers and I don't want to be forced to join the company I don't want just so I'm able to take part in content/not left trying to find a PUG.
