I haven't played an MMO character yet that would make a good soldier (Aya is one of the worst in that regard), but those seem like the sort of things that a military guild would usually expect
I mentioned it in an earlier post, but I am really happy that Final Fantasy has provided these "adventurer" hook-in organizations. It seems that everywhere you go you encounter some sort of organized NPC activity - and while its somewhat formulaic, its also wonderfully immersive. It also provides great RP opportunities all around, from the Flames, to the Sultan Sworn, and the true adventurer types still serving as militia in their GC. Its great stuff.
-Chuckles.- I never said that it wasn't true to the theme or unexpected, only that I personally found over time that it's not for me. Just not my kind of fun.
And I agree, the backdrop of the Grand Companies adds a rather nice hook for those of us who choose to take advantage of them for our characters. Even if I and others choose to do so with a markedly less strictly regimented approach.
