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!

Linkshell onry~

Two of your grid pics are the same Chrees. Thank you for these though since I'm at work =)

D'oh, thanks for catching that. Fixed!

Very cool, thanks Chrees!

No problem!

They haven't told us how many seals it's going to cost to move up in rank with your respective grand company. In order to attain your chocobo, you have to move up in rank. For all we know it could be 5k seals to move up in rank.

Since there are no repeatable methods to get seals as a recruit (unless this changes with 1.19), I doubt pledging your allegiance to one Grand Company will cost gil; it'll probably be a quest of some sort.

Any other achievement anyone has received besides:

Heero Yui (Lindblum) has been gifted 1,000 storm seals in the spirit of Foundation Day!

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?

you will be able to use your seals until you join a company. They won't be invalidated immediately when 1.19 hits.

People are referring to the fluttering flags, Im assuming. Those were never there. Also, they did actually increase the company-presence with extra banners.

Ah ok, it wasn't till you said that I noticed the flags! Comparing with some screenshots I took of when I first saw the new banners and stuff though I haven't really noticed a difference. I haven't been to limsa yet, though. But I do like the flags.

The music is freakin amazing. Definitely more reason to stick around Grid more (music sounds similar to the Bar/hub music from final fantasy tactics advanced). I would love it if this music didn't go away somehow at the end of the event.
