Ever since the reinstitution of the Grand Companies of Eorzea, an air of tension has enveloped the three city-states, the ensigns of each organization hanging overhead a constant reminder of looming disaster. Lately, however, a peculiar sight has been observed in Ul'dah that appears to buck the trend: soldiers are taking to the streets in celebration—aye, celebration—going as far as to discharge muskets and cannons as part of their boisterous merrymaking. What could have possibly occasioned this sudden outburst of high spirits? Mayhap the sultanate's leading paper, The Mythril Eye, can shed some light upon this intriguing turn of events... Read on to learn what all the fuss is about. |

I hate to tell you guys this, but I have no idea what this is either. But if you want my best guess... Looks like the picture is showing what the different company seals look like, and the "event" is going to be an NPC from each of the grand companies in each town that will be promoting their grand company over the others. The whole reason you can try all three now is because you're supposed to be deciding which of the three you like best. Bear in mind that when the next patch hits, you'll be forced to pick a single Grand Company to pledge alliegance to, and this will be required if you want your own personal call-anywhere/anytime chocobo. SE have said a couple times in the past that this company choice will be permanent, which I expect them to backtrack on eventually (just like they did with the "permanent" NPC story fellow) because that idea is stupid. Sure make a penalty for swapping allegiance (such as losing all of your seals or starting back at rank 1 or something) but making it a permanent choice is stupid. |

This "event" has now started. Talking to the NPC at the counter of each of the grand companies gets you a free 1000 company seals. That's 1000 seals towards your 3000 seal personal chocobo. Off you go. |

from what i've heard the npc wont give you seals unless you've done the old basic company quests (did all these myself so i can't verify). would make sense though, would put meaning to the event in that its time for slackers to finally do the stupid quests so they're ready for 1.19 |
