Foundation Day

It would be a "promotional" thing, not your only window in the year to chose your GC. Stop being so goddamn ridiculous.

If it's a promotional thing, why must we get 1.19 at the same time? Is promoting ahead of time not allowed?

All you have are made up facts that mean crap.

Actually, it could be something like

Yeah, it could be

Or it could not be.

So basically patch 1.19 date confirmed guyz, Sept. 22nd! We have all the assumptions we need to create a fact and ignore the rest!

Something temporary. The NPC's will be around for like two weeks. Hey cool, you got two weeks to join the company of your choice and then you're outta luck until next year! Of course!

This doesn't. Mean. A damn. Thing.

Actually, it could be something like

Recruitment event: You get to do a special event-only quest to join the company; in fact, this could even be the grand company "speech" mentioned by Yoshida.

After the event:

You just go to the company building and register up normally, no event quest for you.

I'm kind of skeptical about this and view it from 2 different perspectives.

On one hand, like many others have pointed out, this seems to be the "official" recruitment for Grand Companies. With the dates they have mentioned, it's easy to assume that patch 1.19 will release between the 21st and 22nd. This would mean patch 1.19 meets their end of summer deadline, something they seemed pretty strict about for this patch.

On the other hand, the only info we really got about the event itself was that recruitment NPCs would be stationed in the three city states. This doesn't necessarily mean that they will actually recruit us now. For all we know, they might just give us a little sneak preview of each company before we make our permanent decision in which company we join. It seems strange that Grand Company recruitment would be done through an event that has an end date (10/11/11). What happens when the event is over, no more recruitment?

I don't know what to think. I'm definitely not going to set myself up for disappointment by assuming that 1.19 will definitely be released together with this event. I will however remain optimistic about it, and hope that this is the case.

Remembering that events don't need patches, even still i am hopeful.

What in the World do they mean be Recruiting then?
What are we Recruiting for?
What do we get for joining whatever? (Shiny Coins? lol)

I know its vague, but we only know of one thing were recruiting for.

I understand there's a set time for this from start to end, The only thing that's popping out at me besides the companies is this " Eorzean Alliance". Other than that I'm stumped

They never said Recruiting, they said Recruitment Officers. Although a recruitment officer obviously is in charge of recruitment, I'm sure that's not all they do.

I wouldn't be so sure that it's getting released on the 22nd. And when and if it doesn't, please try to refrain from raging on the forums about it. Your proof is not proof, it's just assumptions.

Never claimed it as Proof, I claimed it as a Source of what could happen, and I don't rage when i don't get my way like other people on hear seem to do. I'm just stating my own opinion on what I read.

To be quite honest 90% of the Forums on hear are crybabies :/

It's not a problem unless it is actually released on 22nd. Then he can apply some magical neverland logic and assume this "fact" of his was actually true!

Like this?

With this said You can bet your Bottom gil that It WILL come out on the 22nd

Also why were you even responding to me in the first place? I was talking to the guy who was acting as if there was proof. Then you just had to come in and start your ramble. If you didn't claim it as proof, why even reply to my post? Jesus.

Personally attacking my Opinion are you, ah your too kind

However the case maybe weather it comes out or not my Opinion will stay my opinion Weather I'm wrong or right, Weather my facts were true or false. Just because " someone else before me" and myself find a "Possible connection" doesn't make me do a " Magical tap dance to show you why my fact is Fact. I stated an Honest opinion like you did. No reason to to shoot it down 100 times when you killed it 10 times already!
