Please allow us to join all three companies

[Reinheart]

There is already different main scenarios' for the three countries in FFXIV.

Grand companies are mercenary companies, and they are an entirely different pair of sleeves.

That's only up to R30 (not sure which Rank) but after that all 3 becomes same storyline from what I read.
And reason why in the latest Japanese game magazine they explained that they want players to think of grand company as a new starting point and deciding which country to start and stick to.

its kinda the same in XI the first few missions was the same for all nation in XI up to like rank 5 missions i believe but having all three nations have the same story is a good thing unlike XI where you would be spending like 3+ hrs trying to find someone to do missions with cause they are from a different city

Sorry Abigail, but your idea builds upon what makes FFXIV a bad game. You and Cairdais ought to go cry on each other's shoulders.

[AquaRyu]

Yes please

[Kaizlu]

Do we have to change everything the dev team makes?

I say no. While I understand the "value" of being able to enlist in all of the Grand Companies, I have no problems with making a decision and only being able to choose one. Also, since 1.18 I've seen more people in Gridania and Limsa, and I'm pretty sure that with Chocobos and Airships we'll see more people out of Ul'dah.

As long as we can get equivalent gear from each company, it's really ok to be stuck with one.

[Misha]

Better to have personal choices... kinda ruins the whole grand companies if you work for all of em, why not just call it "The Grand Company"?! :S ... Any quests released for them will be guaranteed to have shared ones down the road and/or converge into a single quest line as the grand companies end goals are all the same :P

Why are people so short minded?

These cmopanies pretty much function like nations in XI...so at some point you will be able to "reset" your company anyway and can join another to do all missions/quests from it...

Even a mentally retarded ape could tell it's gonna be like that.

But for now, NO don't let us join all three. This is supposed to create a bond between you and your "prefered nation", so why should we get all of them...

Decisions are a good thing on some things and this definetely is one of em.

I do not mind going to serve one nation only, but i want to do a certain one, and not force my self to serve the others just because they give the equipment i need,

like my Eg. i pledge loyalty to Gridania, but they do not give me Lancer equipment, i must pledge to Limsa to be able to get them which i do not want to in the first place. =.=

Bet you feel stupid for saying that now ...

Spoke to Yoshida about this to get an answer for you all. You can only belong to one Grand Company and once you join one officially you will be unable to switch allegiances. With that said, we'd like you to check out each of the Companies beforehand and decide which you want to pledge your allegiance to.

LMAO .. I think 'pwned' is appropriate here.
