What do you think about Linkshell Tabards?

[Onisake]

Will Free Company logos be the same as linkshell logos?

I know in Aion, you were able to upload an original image for use as your guild icon. Will this be something that's possible in ARR?

Probably not uploadable. if it is, it will need to be screened because of copyright etc. knowing SE it would take weeks between upload and approval. not to mention the need to match template/format. so no thanks on that.

it will be more feasible to ask for a pallet where we can create an emblem that can be added in. I think Armored core offered this.

or maybe a system similar to City of Heroes where you can put letters/images on top of each other to create an emblem.

I could see them adding in special emblems your company can unlock via PvP achievements too.

your own tabard on chplocobo is fine-- but on player that's the du m b thing to have-

Idk how it worked for Aion but it did and still does. Only takes them like 5 min to screen an image and that games even F2P now.

Can't wait for more information on exactly how these free companies will work =o

That's awesome! Thank's for letting us know. I wonder if Grand Company logos are going to be something we can make and upload ourselves like in Aion.

I am thinking more along the lines of Corp logo's from Eve. many many options you can combine with layers. But all of the options are provided by the game maker.

Did you guys say you wanted your free company logos emblazoned on your gear?

Although it may not be tabards, we are planning to allow the placement of free company logos onto certain equipment when free companies are introduced! There will be limitations on what equipment and other objects that can have the logos placed onto them of course, but that's to be expected.

As for those that were suggesting a bonus for displaying your free company's logo on your gear, we currently have no plans on adding this.

Thank you for this I am glad. I knew from beginning it won't look like the tabard from that other game, firstly it covers too much of the gear, secondly it just doesn't look good. Thanks for having something that can fit in FF14.

Hopefully it'll be gear that has its own slots and not something we already wear for stats. Because if the GC-Logo chestplate is garbage compared to a tank or DPS chestplate, guess which one people are going to wear.

PS: Love how some people froth at the mouth over the WoW picture...

I'd much rather have Free Company capes with the FC's logo on them.

Like scarf capes that wrap around your neck and hang down the back of your shoulder like Loras Tyrell ♥ was wearing in Battle of Blackwater, or the normal big awesome flappy capes.

Or mayhaps I've been watching a bit too much Game of Thrones.

How about a new slot for back like in FFXI but make them visible this time around? That way we could make Player Company or earn Grand Company based cloaks. Then have the ability to turn it on or off like the head slot.

This is my main issue with the idea of logos. If its not available on the top of the line stuff, then it gets un-used on the scale many Free companies would probably enjoy. I like the idea of badges, armbands etc, but it runs into similar issues the lack of vanity slots do. what folks would love to look like the majority of time, they can't, albeit on a smaller scale.

Still i applaud having GC badges (please put them on the little metal badge that hangs from the chest of the Darksteal Haubergeon too ^^ )
