Same GC Ifrit killers gets better reward

[ZachCero]

Please Devs get us some clarification on this before patch day

You have said before that we shouldn't worry which GC we choose, however:

I cannot choose my GC "freely" knowing that I may be missing out on better loot or possibly exclusive loot from Ifrit by doing so.

Could you please explain what exactly is the "greater reward" from defeating Ifrit by members all of the same GC?

Thanks

I would personally like to "quote" everyone so far who says "You have said before that we shouldn't worry which GC we choose, however"
Really? I'm in a ls where most of the ls is Gridania, all the way.
I'm Uldah.... Oh and my Fiance is in the same ls and from Uldah, too.
How does this work out?
I'm not interested in joining other ls's, putting myself out there, or shouting for dungeon parties. I love the friends I've made so far and would like to stick with them regardless of which GC's we are in. MMO's usually encourage making friends and playing with them. Wth is this?

I've been Solely Uldah all the way. I love the lore, I got the Uldah Certificate, I love the Colosseum, I love everything about Uldah.

Regardless of what you do or what my friends do, I will stay Uldah. But it really makes you think how far this segregation will go?

【グランドカンパニー】
・所属国によって大差はない　イベントへの見方が変わる程度
・一国集中対策として、各組織の登録人数によってカンパニーボーナス変更などの処置
・移籍が今後できなわけではなく、今後「フリーカンパニー」という、任意で所属できる傭兵集団も実装検討
・同じカンパニー同士そろうとボーナス　３国別のカンパニー同士そろっても利益あり
・軍票を定期的に稼げるコンテンツ実装　ただし、階級を上げないともらえる額は上がらない
・昇級：銀票を上納したうえで昇級試験をうけなければならない　　今のところ准尉以上はあげるのむずかしい？
・１．２０以降より、軍票交換でチョコボ用装備も実装予定　クラフターがつくるチョコボ装備もいずれ公開予定
・グランドカンパニーで頑張るとLodestoneで表彰
Grand Company
- There isn't much difference on which country you enlist in, just varies in how the event is viewed (cut scene)
- To avoid one country getting too much enlistment, making it so depending on number of enlistee the company bonus changing.
- It doesn't mean you can't switch (grand company) later on, later we are looking to adding "Free Company" where you can join optionally
- When everyone from same company you get bonus as well as when you have 3 different countries grand company members
- Adding a content where you can obtain company seals over time, however if you don't get a higher rank the amount (CS) you obtain will not increase.
- Rank: Once obtaining award, must take a test to rank up, currently it's hard to go higher than warrant officer?
- after 1.20 be able to trade company seals for chocobo gear, planning to release in future chocobo gear which crafters can make.
- If you work hard in grand company it will effect in Lodestone

This was posted earlier, the line:

- When everyone from same company you get bonus as well as when you have 3 different countries grand company members

...Is what people want an answer about.

my LS is forcing me now to go Uldah Grand company. .

That's so sad... I couldn't be in an LS like that. =/

thats just something a poster summarized. There is a big "?" in some of the sentences they are not sure of so its best to take it with a grain of salt guys.

I'm not overly worried, hell at least they are letting us still play with eachother cross-company. I remember in XI trying to find people to do Windurst missions with me was a pain at times, but Sandoria? No problem.

Let the min-maxing commence! lol >.>

seriously I will say it again and again, just join which ever you want, don't let your linkshell tell you which to join that's just stupid. If they cannot understand that you like the story from LL better than Uldah then well they might not be the best of LSmates.

A Jp friend told me that in JP version of lodestone says that "it specifically says in JPN patch notes you get greater rewards if all members are of the same company for R30 ifrit quest"

which doesn't matter to R50 quest. and he says that English drop the word "R30" off so everybody misunderstand.

Im just gonna go with my first choice, and hope im not penalized in the long run.

Hmm. . . that would make sense. Looking at it, only the low-level quests are city divided.
