Non-Flame crafters getting burned

The two nations can, they just wanna cry about something that's easily remedied and/or surpassed.

"Oh... Uldahns can finish their successes quicker!" (theoretically) "I have to spend 2 whole seconds melding a materia to my gear"

Big deal.

Your lack of empathy for your fellow players is disheartening.

The simple fact is, one of the Grand Companies were given an advantage through gear when Yoshida said they wouldn't. It's the principal that is the issue. We cannot change companies and cannot purchase their items.

This was a largely expressed concern months ago and we were reassured item rewards wouldn't be an issue. Now they are.

What if they allow us to purchase from other company's, as long as your at the right rank and for a higher seal cost.

That would be the ideal solution but when asked that months ago the devs said they have no plans for it.

Didn't you know that good design dictates arbitrary and punitive restrictions?

Haha, even SE has thrown in the towel and acknowledged Ul'dah's superiority.

Wow, seriously, a 15th thread on this? Can't you just cry on the same thread as everyone else? Everyone of you guys has this dumb idea that your crying is so important that it deserves its own thread.

Get over yourself. So what if one GC item is better then the other? if its the 23rd, 24th, 25th best item in slot in the game, who cares which one is better or worse then the other? When they are 22 other items for that slot in the game, your gonna start a 15th thread to cry about it.

what he said ^^

pretty sure SE even put it in the lore, didn't they mention the other nations look up to Ul'dah for their military might to save them from the oncoming invasion of the empire

I'm stopping by to give you Triairy's post about the new Grand Company items coming in patch 1.20.

Good evening, everybody.

There are items that can only be obtained in one city, such as Flame Sergeant’s Sarouel and Flame Sergeant’s Crakows which can only be purchased by the Immortal Flames members. However, we will be adding other items in the future in order to maintain a balance. Therefore, there will be no scenario in which the gear items of a certain quality can only be obtained by members of a certain Grand Company.

Also, if you compare the damage outputs for things like the Lominsan Bow, the Gridanian Shortbow and the Ul’dahn Composite Bow, it seems like the Ul’dahn Composite Bow is the strongest out of the three, but the DPS for all three items are actually very similar.

Please continue to send us your feedback.

Also, we did take notes on all of your comments and will be forwarding it to the dev. team.

Thanks, Rukkirii! Hope we don't seem too whiny on your end. Just trying to create a discussion to figure out some design choices. Though, civil discussion isn't always the easiest thing to accomplish here.

Just implement a inflated seal cost for different company items and solve all your problems.

I thought about that also like how FFXI worked but problem with FFXIV is the GC gears are meant to look for that enlisted GC gear so would look bit funny if you're enlisted in Limsa and wearing parts of Ul'dah and stuff like that; as for weapons wouldn't be as much awkward imo.

You have to stretch your disbelief a tiny bit, hell in XI I ran around Bastok and Sandoria with my Windurst Aketon doing missions for the King of Sandoria with my windy aketon (And signet staff) got a good chuckle out of me. As long as the cost associated with obtaining this gear is ramped up respectably I don't see any issues.

Hell give some a few NPC's dialogue to harass you when you talk to them wearing other company issued gear, that would be hillarious and amazing at the same time.
