![]() OOC, I had my character in Immortal Flames gear for the numbers, since I was leveling him as a Thaumaturge. Well, a facet of this certainly popped up yesterday when we ran into each other at Camp Drybone. Anyway, yeah, that's the end of my :firstworldproblems: ramble Since Square Enix are damn good on integrating lore mechanics, I'm curious as to how they would in-universe justify adventurers being able to become crusty old Grand Marshals. Anything higher, one would need to back it up IMO by actually having other characters that follow you. You could just spin the first three officer ranks as being a staff officer rather than a command officer for RPing as a Grand Company lone wolf. But yeah, anything higher than a captain I'd begin to ask how many men you command and all that. That character was only 2nd lieutenant, which was a little amusing since 2nd lieutenant really isn't that high, only feels as such because it's the highest attainable in-game. I'm a little concerned about this because I did have at least one character try to pull rank/borderline godmode on Kale Aideron when he was giving a free paladin a hard time. I just can't for the life of me imagine anyone roleplaying the ranks above Captain, unless maybe you were in charge of a large free company. ![]() those who RP it full-time, part-time, and not a member at all), it is assumed by default that all Player Characters are in the adventurer units (Free Brigade, Foreign Levy, and Yellow Serpents) which is led by a High Commander, and then the Grand Company headquarters themselves are led by Grand Marshals. The interesting thing comes in when they release the upper ranks. I think for lore's sake I would never RP higher than a Flame Captain. I sort of intend to RP a promotion to lieutenant down the line, more than likely when they release more RP gear, particularly the combat shirts that Flame Lieutenant NPCs wear. Currently I am like a lot of lvl50s a Second Flame Lieutenant, but for RP's sake I RP a Chief Flame Sergeant (commanding officer of the Flame Yataghans, a little 20-member Immortal Flames RP LS btw for those interested Monetarists, Garleans, Alacran etc. I thought this might have some interesting implications for RP. ![]() So, I don't know if anyone noticed, but if you click one's Grand Company rank (either in search or your own in character sheet), it displays the full list of ranks including the ones that are currently locked. ![]()
