Grand Companies

[Jennestia]

I really dont get it. They release information on companies but completely leave out what exactly they are.... all we know are a back story.... kinda lame imo. They should have told us what they were along with the story.

"Give us lore and story!"

SE: "ok!"

"WHY ONLY LORE? WHY NO GAMEPLAY INFORMATION?!"

Honestly.

It's clear that they want us to experience it first hand mainly. Also, Yoshida said that the GC page will be expand with content as it's released.

It's called marketing, give away enough to cause speculation and discussion but not enough to give it all away, the boards are full of discussion about the companies so it seems to be working. We will get the rest of the info in time I would say 90% of it just before the release of the companies patch.

The only problem is that this is exactly what killed FFXIV at the release

She's an Elezen, in the character creation you can give them smaller ears and the nose is kinda strange because of Yoshida's art, his noses are always particular.

I really doubt they would put a female roegadyn in game so early.

actually even the smaller ears were noticable through the hair. And most sea wolf clan females are into sailing in politics... perfect for an the LL grand company. Plus it really looks nothing like a dusksomthing elf person.

Plus the name follows Roegadyn Naming Conventions.

Maybe they'll update the page with gameplay info tonight.

i wonder if its gonna be similar to salaheem's sentinel's from XI, where in this case you join a company and they ask you to do mission for them, maybe against the Garleans or type of besiged or invade force to the garlean controlled area where players would gather up and go as a force(like assault or garrison).

also wonder if you would need to register into the company as a single class(ex LNC/ARM/MIN) and u get task depending on that.. like repair damaged cannons on ships or gather repair materials etc, sort of getting the feeling that the company is like your nation's force... my imagination is running wild :/

Considering Assaults and Salaheem's sentinels were completely fun and awesome I hope this is the case. Improved and more dynamic Assault type missions?! You have my monthly fee whenever you want it SE

We are getting this feature added today. Obviously they will let us know in the update details once the servers go down & they release it on lodestone/forum.
