You can have (if you want to) members of all different GC affiliations. However, when you sign up to create a Free Company, you align it with one of the three Grand Companies. What this does is allow FC members to participate in that GC's questline. ONLY. You do not get gear/seal/rank benefits. You only get those from your own personal GC.
So if I'm a Twin Adder and my FC aligns with the Maelstrom. I only get Twin Adder perks, but I can now participate in both the Twin Adder and Maelstrom storylines.Â
It's basically a way for Free Companies to participate in a storyline together. Instead of just using your FC for your GC fights and calling everyone in for a fight and then them all leaving. This way you can run all of the GC quests as a FC. Really could create some great unity among your members.
