This has me slightly worried about what these actually are and that a large amount of people are going to be let down after hyping themselves up about what they are. I realize that the director said info will be released before the patch but, could info on this point be established, at the very least? It would be very good to know in advanced if this was to be a guild type system or just a 3 company (one per city) type of system, cause the latter option would seem to be less interactive but just more depth on the game world. As to where a guild system would greatly expand on actually person to person interaction and group gameplay.
Hm, interesting reading here.

Like you said, companies /city... so we might look at something much in comparisson to FFXI's "Nation" control, but well more kinda "City" controlled areas in FFXIV.
(not sure the general term of "Nations" applies to this game)

If so i hope it offers a little bit more than just plain city "Control", or that would get boring real fast.
