Grand Company Question!
I was curious if the dev team has kicked around the idea of adding new Grand Companies? SPOILERS FOR NEW PLAYERS** We have officially brought Ishgard back into the Eorzean alliance, and it appears we are about to do the same for Ala Mihgo and Doma. I would love to see the Knights of the Heavens Ward or Ala Mihgan Griffin's and/or Doma Shadowwalkers (just examples) join the game as a Grand Company option. Personally, I LOVED leveling all the GC to the max rank.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Will the Rapier and Magical Crystal Medium be considered to be in the same equipment slot (main hand) or will they be split into main hand and off hand.

it's gonna be 1 item. They are not gonna do a split anymore, except for PLDs cuz they always get screwed :/

1. Why cant we view a piece of armor that has been glamoured to look like another piece of armor. Example: Somebody has a Relic weapon equipped and it is glamoured to look like the Alexandrian weapon. Why cant I view both the Relic weapon AND the Alexandrian weapon on my character?

You can...after you view the initial item just got to your chat log and select it again and you'll view the unglamoured version.

PvP question!

With the introduction of Ala Mhigo and Doma as zones in Stormblood, what can we look forward to in terms of the variety of PvP game modes post-expansion? For example, for Frontline PvP the current available maps are in Carteneau (Seal Rock - ARR) and Coerthas (Fields of Glory - HW). Will we see an added PvP map that is thematically located in either Ala Mhigan or Doman territory?

Is there a plan to bring up the less commonly used desynthesis classes such as Alchemist and Culinarian?" For example, Culinarian desynth is mostly used to get swimsuits and a minion, but this has not been added to since 2.X. With the new swimming feature, it seems like a good time to add more options.

Grand Company question!

As has been established in-game, the subsequent ranks after First Lieutenant are Captain, Second Commander, First Commander and High Commander. How much further will we be able to progress in terms of ranks with the newest expansion, and will the added emphasis on squadron use greatly factor into the progression within the GC?

Glamour question!

Would it be possible for classes/jobs of similar animation styles (e.g. Casters like SMN and Healers like SCH, or MNK and NIN) to share glamours? For example, is the possibility that a SCH could wear Casting gear glamours and a SMN could wear Healing gear glamours something that you are considering, or is it currently not feasible with your resources?

Would it be possible to place the currency that takes up inventory slots be placed in the currency tab; i.e Beast Tribe Tokens?

Relic Weapon Quest question!

For the current Anima Weapon questline, a quest at any stage of the questline is only able to be taken by 1 job. That is, if I have three anima questlines for SMN, BRD and SCH running at one time at similar progression stages, I am not able to take the same progression quest (e.g. Born Again Anima) concurrently for all three questlines.

Is this something that you may consider changing for the Relic Weapon pertaining to Stormblood? Say, with my example of Born Again Anima, could we run Born Again Anima (Summoner), Born Again Anima (Bard) and Born Again Anima (Scholar) at the same time?

Could an option be added to Character Configuration to auto-decline Free Company invites?
