The whole 'playing with friends' thing isnt that much of an issue, just join the same company? Also, I'm not expecting this to cover a lot of different content types.
What about people you meet after you join a company?

What about people who adamantly believe a different company is better?

What about people who are new and get pigeon holed because everyone is telling them what company they need to join so they can play with them?

One of the best parts about FFXI was the rivalry between Countries. But it was only good because if your friend was from a different country you could still help them. More importantly you could change countries at any time. Yes there was a penalty but you had the option.
