So the question becomes...
Which town are we going to choose to grind out 3k+ of marks and such. Since it looks like they will be used for currency for at least chocobos, it may be a good idea to start amassing this junk.
Ul'dah, is the obvious choice, since it's the main town, but I'm not necessarily convinced. We probably all want to join the same town, in case there happens to be storyline missions later, and with airship transportation mainly taking the duration of a cutscene, all the towns will be easily connected.
If the decorations on the chocos match the flags of the countries, then I'd opt for Limsa, since I like red better.
I'd seriously prefer the red Limsa flag, but:
- Ul'dah's company sells all the Gladiator stuff
- I already have 5,750 Flame Seals (and an open quest for 1000 more seals)
SE have also already stated there are company quests that you can ONLY do with people from your own company, including those recently announced caravan escort quests. They've also said it's impossible to change your company once you have picked one. The whole thing seems rather annoying.
I don't particularly like that yellow flag, but as long as the different jobs are only provided for by a particular company I feel people are stuck with the choice that most benefits them.
