To combat this, I think it’s time for a fresh new addition.

Final Fantasy 11, the series' first MMO, offers a different experience regarding home nations.

Essentially, its a must.

Final Fantasy 14 - Minfillia, the Warrior of Light, and a representative of each of the Grand Companies in the Waking Sands.

The last thing you want to do is make your party wait while you run somewhere to refresh it.

The benefits and drawbacks dont end there, though.

Each city has regional vendors, but their availability relies on Conquest.

There is actually a fourth player involved the Beastmen.

They are able to take control of an area if enough influence for a player-based nation wasnt accrued.

So you really didnt want to be the losing nation.

Id love to see FF14 expand Grand Companies in a similar way.

Maybe the nations just decide to do a fun competition.

I just want it to be a bit more interesting.

Lets give players something to be competitive over outside of PvP.

Arguably something that a multiplayer game can never have too much of.
