I know that we cannot currently do this (right?), but has there been any mention in all the info coming out regarding this?

For example, I chose Ul'dah as my home nation after going through all three nations openings in Beta and also because it reminded me most of Bastok from FFXI, my fav nation there.

Then I became a Marauder, but my Guild was located in Limsa Lominsa, so I went there.

Finally, I did all three Grand Company stories until I had to pick one. I actually liked Gridania's more, but I was still a Marauder and so I just went with Maelstrom in Limsa Lominsa. However, I stopped Marauder and switched to Lancer when Dragoon finally made its debut (my favorite)... which is all the more reason I really feel I should be aligned with Gridania.

Heck, if I could change both allegiance and GC, I'd pick them now. But I can't... yet.

Has there been any talk even of this kind of switching? I wonder how it'd work, if you'd lose rank and seal progress or something. I remember losing Conquest Points when you switched nations in FFXI, as well as accrued guild points when switching crafting guilds (although that was for crafting).

Just thought I'd post about it with all the talk of new stuff and what not.
