    The current Linkshell Emblem actually resembles medievil heraldry rather closely. Historically, such emblems were used to identify a lord and their household. Members would proudly wear those colours to represent whom held their fielty.

    Their application in this game is so appropriate it's uncanny. Please don't take them away. Maybe expand them, add the ability to add mottos (like titles, but for groups), mascots (ie: Garuda can be holding the shield if the shell has bested Garuda) and other decorations. As an example:


    The dolphins (yes, that is a medievil depiction of a dolphin) are the mascots, "Sense of Purpose" is the group's Motto and, of course, the emblem itself is the arms of the group.

    Edit: Here is a real life example.

    Now imagine if the shield was your Linkshell, the kangaroo and emu were instead Ifrit and Shiva, and the plant around the base were shrubs native to Thanalan.

    This is the sort of thing I want for my Linkshell.
