I think I speak for everyone who played the Open Beta of FFXI: AAR last week: FFXIV: AAR is a sleeper hit.

We came in just for fun, and found ourselves immensely enjoying the game far more than what we expected it to be. Having said that, we are definitely encouraging more members to give FFXIV a try and we will be actively playing this MMORPG. Yakisoba will be pulling all the stops and go all the way for this MMORPG. Rollcall for it is up, check our facebook for the link.

Officers

1. Tsubaki
2. Shader
3. Kuch
4. Testarossa

Shader and myself will be running the Yakisoba shard in FFXIV, together with the other officers assisting us. Here’s a little something for all members to understand about the guild system.

Linkshell

Invitation-based chat channels called linkshells (LS) can be used for virtually any purpose, including casual conversation. Characters can be members of up to 8 LSs at a time. Players will be able to browse and chat with all of their LSs at any given moment.

> Yakisoba already has a Linkshell set up in OBT, all members, friends of Yakisoba can be invited to this Linkshell. PM any officers to be added.

Free Company

Players can also join together to form an organization (i.e. “guild”) called a free company (FC). Unlike LSs, characters can only be in one FC. In addition to having a chat channel and shared storage, members of FCs will be able work together to gain free company EXP and credits to earn expanded features and benefits. This includes company-wide bonuses with both low-level and end-game utility. FCs can also obtain customizable crests, which can be put on equipment. Although FCs branch off GCs, there are no restrictions based on allegiance.

 > As soon as Shader or myself reach Lvl 25, we will make a Free Company and all members from the Linkshell will be invited. However, we will be collecting 1,000 gil per member upon joining the guild. All of these money collected will go into the guild fund of buying a FC House.

Housing

We will also be pooling money together from all members to buy a House for the guild. When we have more details about the cost, we will let everyone know how much to chip in. It’s great that we will finally have a physical Guild hall in the game, and we are very excited to get it. Learn more about Housing here.
