We humans do often enjoy joining tribes, so it is no surprise that early on in Final Fantasy XIV, the MMO will require you to pick a team, or Grand Company as they are called. This can seem like a momentous occasion, given the long series of cutscenes that present these groups, and you may be wondering: What are they, and what do they do? This guide will explain all these things and more! What are Grand Companies? Grand Companies are FFXIV’s version of factions.
These usually have a similar style and color palette to the Company, so there is nothing wrong with using that as a deciding factor! Also don’t sweat it if you are second guessing your decision, as you can change it later on in the game once you become an officer in your initial choice. If you are one of the few people who is heavily invested in FFXIV’s PVP, the Grand Company you pick has slightly more significance.
