So much this.
I've never seen a FC in Final Fantasy with a particularly onerous application process. Most involve talking to an officer, which is only reasonable. We do the same, in BLACK. I've heard the application process for some endgame FCs involve things like examination of server standings, but I can understand that, considering their particular focus.
I've also got to add, with some amusement, that the OP should check out the application process for large corporations (guilds) in EVE Online. Many of them insist on things like screenshots of your character selection screen, so they can have proof of who all your characters are, and detailed examination of your forum posts.
