Foundation Day Has Begun!

[Shift]

Each of the 3 city-states has a tent with 4 NPCs who blabber on about joining their Grand Company along with badass cannons and rocket launchers, loads more banners and flags around the city, as well as colorful balloons with streamers and lights floating in the sky. The fireworks from the Fireball Faire are back, too!

Tried buying fireworks off someones retainer in the ward and firing them off.

You do NOT get the achievement unless you spend your own seals on the fireworks it seems (buying might be the flag for achievement?)

Thus far, the free seals seem to only be a 'start' towards the upcoming stuff for 1.19 like chocobos. I'm not going to turn them down! As was clarified in another thread I was following, make sure to burn all of your seals for all but the company you plan on joining, as they will become unavailable after 1.19 for an indeterminate amount of time.

Here's the thread:

It may just be me but I play quite often and, I remember after 1.18 went live, all of the banners were everywhere like they are now. I keep seeing people saying how there's all these banners all of a sudden but I've been seeing them since 1.18? I mean, yea the tent area has some streamers and crap too but the flags and banners everywhere are the same since I first saw them, unless they took them down for a while and I didn't notice?
