Player Run Companies: a Rallying Cry

[Jamel-Irief]

A company right now can't do anything a LS can't. So it would be a pointless feature.

Of course it can't since it hasn't been implemented. But the promise was never "player driven companies with no content", and neither you, I or anyone else playing this game knows weather we will EVER see these things. I don't believe the OP was saying "Player companies NOW", I believe he was asking if it is indeed entirely scrapped or not.

For some people it was the most anticipated upcomming feature in FFXIV, me included. If the dev team gave some kind of info of this, even a plain "no", it would do no harm what so ever and people that did want the feature can move on.

I'm just not sure what the point of a player company is.

Building airships and houses? That could be done by a Linkshell.

Other than that I don't know what the different functions of Linkshells and Companies would be, so I'm not entirely how a Company would be implemented "in Tanaka's vision" without making a Linkshell...defunct, I guess.
