40TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SEQ_00Minfilia is wearing a wry smile. Might it have something to do with your newfound fame?
51TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SEQ_01It would seem your recent exploits have garnered the attention of all three of the Grand Companies of Eorzea. Now each one is intent upon adding you to its ranks, going so far as to send a representative to the Waking Sands to court you. Though Minfilia does not seem best pleased by this turn of events, she concedes that joining a Grand Company would yield certain benefits. But which one will you choose? That you might make an informed decision, she suggests that you attend the forthcoming remembrance services and listen to each Grand Company leader's address. Tataru will be able to furnish you with the particulars.
62TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SEQ_02Tataru has apprised you as to where the remembrance services are due to be held. Visit Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre in Gridania, the Royal Promenade in Ul'dah, and finally the Stateroom in Limsa Lominsa, and hear what the Grand Company leaders have to say.
73TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SEQ_03You have now attended all three of the remembrance services. Based on the words of the Grand Company leaders and the traveling twins, Alphinaud and Alisaie, it would appear that each of Eorzea's city–states is beset with problems. Clearly, all three would benefit from your aid, but which of them deserves it most? Make your way back to the Waking Sands, and share your thoughts with Minfilia.
84TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SEQ_04Minfilia confirms that all three city–states are sorely in need of assistance, and laments the fact that there is only one of you. A difficult choice awaits. Weigh your decision well, and give your answer to the officer of the Grand Company you would join.

5248TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_10Until not so very long ago, you were but one of the many adventurers seeking to make their way in Eorzea.
5349TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_11But for your character and courage, you were raised to the esteemed post of envoy. Thereafter, you traveled the realm, aiding those in need without thought of reward, confirming to <Switch(PlayerParameter(70))><Case(1)>Y'shtola</Case><Case(2)>Yda and Papalymo</Case><Case(3)>Thancred</Case></Switch> that the Scions would benefit from your aid. And no sooner had you joined us than you personally bested the primal Ifrit.
5450TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_12You have achieved a great deal in a short time, and won fame in so doing. Alas, fame does not come without a price, as you will soon discover.
5551TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_13We have guests, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>─or rather...<Emphasis>you</Emphasis> have guests.
5652TEXT_MANFST300_00511_THREEOFFICER_000_14(-???-)Beg pardons!
5753TEXT_MANFST300_00511_FLAMEOFFICER_000_15Ahhh, Lady Minfilia. Radiant as always!
5854TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SERPENTOFFICER_000_16I am given to understand that the Scions of the Seventh Dawn have but recently welcomed a new hero into their midst!
5955TEXT_MANFST300_00511_STORMOFFICER_000_17I am here on behalf of the Maelstrom, Grand Company of Limsa Lominsa, to offer said hero a place of honor within our ranks!
6056TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_18As you can see, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, your recent exploits have garnered you the attentions of the Grand Companies of Eorzea.
6157TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_19Each organization would have Ifrit's bane for its own. To this end, all three have sent officers to <Emphasis>court</Emphasis> you.
6258TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_20They would not ordinarily go to such lengths to enlist a new recruit. That they <Emphasis>have</Emphasis> is evidence of their high regard for you.
6359TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_21I find myself wondering how word of <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>'s deeds spread so quickly. That the Immortal Flames should know of <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> triumph is to be expected...but what of the <Emphasis>other</Emphasis> Grand Companies?
6460TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_22Eep!
6561TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SERPENTOFFICER_000_23Your reputation precedes you, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Mistress<Else/>Master</If> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,2)/>! 'Tis no ordinary <If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman<Else/>man</If> who can face a primal and emerge the victor!
6662TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SERPENTOFFICER_000_24And imagine our pride when we learned that you began your journey as an adventurer in our own Gridania! Know that the people hold you in high esteem, and that you will always be welcome among us.
6763TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SERPENTOFFICER_000_25The Order of the Twin Adder has need of valiant <If(PlayerParameter(4))>women<Else/>men</If> such as you. Join your strength to ours, friend, and together let us ensure that peace ever reigns over the Twelveswood!
6864TEXT_MANFST300_00511_FLAMEOFFICER_000_26What a pleasure it is to finally meet you, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Mistress<Else/>Master</If> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,2)/>! My comrades speak of you in the most glowing terms!
6965TEXT_MANFST300_00511_FLAMEOFFICER_000_27Why, even before you aided us against the Amalj'aa and their dread primal, yours was already a respected name in Ul'dah. Our people know you and love you well.
7066TEXT_MANFST300_00511_FLAMEOFFICER_000_28A <If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman<Else/>man</If> of your talent belongs with the Immortal Flames. Join your strength to ours, friend, and together let us secure a prosperous future for Ul'dah!
7167TEXT_MANFST300_00511_STORMOFFICER_000_29The Admiral was not exaggerating when she said you have the look of a hero! Full often does she speak of you, friend.
7268TEXT_MANFST300_00511_STORMOFFICER_000_30...As do many others in Limsa. Long before the rest of Eorzea took note, your name was well known to us, owing to your valorous deeds on behalf of our citizens.
7369TEXT_MANFST300_00511_STORMOFFICER_000_31It is only natural that we should want you for the Maelstrom. Join your strength to ours, and together let us see the grand vessel of Limsa Lominsa to the shores of glory!
7470TEXT_MANFST300_00511_THREEOFFICER_000_32(-Grand Company Officers-)Lady Minfilia!
7571TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_33<sigh> Very well...
7672TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_34Though I am quite sure you need no reminding, mayhap a brief summary of the situation would help to clarify your thoughts on this matter. As you know, the Grand Companies are all-encompassing organizations empowered to call upon the martial, economic, and technological resources of their respective city–states in times of strife.
7773TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_35There are presently three such organizations in Eorzea: the Maelstrom of Limsa Lominsa, the Order of the Twin Adder of Gridania, and the Immortal Flames of Ul'dah.
7874TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_36Serving a Grand Company means serving the nation to which it belongs. You will be charged with its defense, and tasked with advancing its cause.
7975TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_37In return for your faithful service, you will be furnished with various rewards, some of which may well prove useful to you in your other endeavors.
8076TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_38If you are agonizing over which of the Grand Companies best deserves your loyalty, be at ease─the commitment you make this day need not be permanent. Should you wish to shift your allegiance at a later date, you are entitled to do so. And yet...I concede that it is no small choice you face...
8177TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_39Ah! A thought occurs to me! You will, of course, recall that the three city–states are planning to hold remembrance services.
8278TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_40Well, as part of the proceedings, I am given to understand that the leader of each Grand Company will deliver an address.
8379TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_41Hearing these addresses ought to help you make an informed decision. What say you, my dear officers?
8480TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SERPENTOFFICER_000_42A fine suggestion!
8581TEXT_MANFST300_00511_FLAMEOFFICER_000_43You are as wise as you are beautiful, my lady!
8682TEXT_MANFST300_00511_STORMOFFICER_000_44Very well! Let <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> hear our leaders speak, then return here with <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> decision.
8783TEXT_MANFST300_00511_THREEOFFICER_000_45(-Grand Company Officers-)We eagerly await your answer!
8884TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_46I know full well that adventurers are by their nature a liberty-loving breed, and not best suited to the discipline of military service, but I strongly urge you to join a Grand Company nonetheless. While the promise of reward is enticing in itself, it is not the only benefit.
8985TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_47You are possessed of great power, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, and with it you are capable of doing untold good. Yet know that great power is wont to attract attention─not all of it friendly.
9086TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_48There will be those who wish you ill, and you must needs be on the lookout for them. Yet however vigilant you are, you are but one <If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman<Else/>man</If>. In the midst of a Grand Company, however, you will be one <If(PlayerParameter(4))>woman<Else/>man</If> amongst many─a friend amongst friends. Your achievements will be shared, and so will the danger. I can think of no better arrangement.
9187TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_49Of course, joining one organization need not mean leaving another. I hope that we can continue to rely upon your aid─the Twelve know that we will have need of it in the days ahead.
9288TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_50The Grand Companies seek to protect their own nations. We Scions, on the other hand, seek to preserve the future of Eorzea as a whole. Similar, yet not quite the same.
9389TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_51Now then, I expect that you will be afield more often in the future.
9490TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_52As such, I would have you carry this linkpearl with you at all times. It will allow us to stay in touch regardless of location.
9591TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_53Eorzea is changing, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, and you have the power to help shape it anew.
9692TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_54None can say what the morrow will bring, but so long as we believe in ourselves, there is naught we cannot achieve.
9793TEXT_MANFST300_00511_MINFILIA_000_55Now, it is time you made ready for your journey. Before you depart, be sure to speak to Tataru. She will apprise you as to where and when the remembrance services are due to take place.
9894TEXT_MANFST300_00511_FLAMEOFFICER_000_900The Flame General is a passionate man, and his words never fail to light a fire in the belly of those who listen. I am sure you will be no exception!
9995TEXT_MANFST300_00511_SERPENTOFFICER_000_901The Elder Seedseer speaks only truth, and her words have the power to touch the soul. At the sound of her voice, all fall silent and attend her.
10096TEXT_MANFST300_00511_STORMOFFICER_000_902When the Admiral speaks, even pirates listen, and that is no small thing. She is a born leader─the kind one would gladly follow to the seventh hell!
10197TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_60I, um... I'm sorry about all the attention you're getting, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>... I might have sung your praises a little too loudly...and often...to a few too many people. Ahem. Next time, I'll be sure to hold my tongue─literally, if necessary.
10298TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_61Anyway, I expect you want to know where and when the remembrance services are taking place?
10399TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_62If all goes to plan, Gridania's Grand Company, the Order of the Twin Adder, will hold the first of the three services, and Elder Seedseer Kan–E–Senna will deliver her address at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre.
104100TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_63I should probably mention at this point that due to the organizational challenges involved in assembling all of the involved parties, it's possible that the order of the services might change... Still, there's not much we can do about that, so make Gridania your first port of call.
105101TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_64Next, you'll need to go to Ul'dah, where Flame General Raubahn Aldynn will be addressing the masses at the Royal Promenade. Oh, and it's rumored there's to be a special guest! How exciting.
106102TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_65Last but not least, you must make your way to the Stateroom in Limsa Lominsa, where Maelstrom Chief Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn will be giving her address.
107103TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_66The room is accessible via the Admiral's Lift. Identify yourself to the sentry, Zanthael, and he will admit you. Got all that?
108104TEXT_MANFST300_00511_TATARU_000_67Well, off you go, then. I hope you find the remembrance services suitably educational! I suggest visiting the city–states in my prescribed order, though with your record of <Emphasis>impeccable</Emphasis> timing and luck, the schedule may well change in favor of your preferred travel plans. Farewell!

300296TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701500_ALISAIEThe so-called “remembrance” ceremonies were little more than standard-waving rallies.
301297TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701510_ALISAIE...As though the Calamity and Seventh Umbral Era warranted scarcely a mention!
302298TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701520_ALPHINAUDWell, of course they were “standard-waving rallies.”
303299TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701530_ALPHINAUDSince you are so observant, mayhap you noticed what mention was made of the Warriors of Light? <Emphasis>None</Emphasis>.
304300TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701540_ALPHINAUDI suppose they must have forgotten the heroes who spared Eorzea a fate worse than the Calamity?
305301TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701550_ALPHINAUDNo, dear Alisaie, they haven't “forgotten” these details. They have elected to omit them.
306302TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701560_ALPHINAUDDeep are the wounds the Calamity inflicted upon Eorzea. So deep, in fact, that the realm still bleeds.
307303TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701570_ALPHINAUDNeedless to say, the beast tribes and their primals do little to alleviate the pain.
308304TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701580_ALPHINAUDSo the task of salving Eorzea's wounds falls to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn─with a little help from our friends the Grand Companies.
309305TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701590_ALPHINAUDRemembrance will yield no remedy. If our world is to heal, we must put the horrors of the Calamity behind us.
310306TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701600_ALISAIEOur grandfather would never entrust the fate of the realm to despots who rewrite history to their convenience!
311307TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701610_ALISAIEThere must be another way to cure what ails this world─and I mean to find it!
312308TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701620_ALPHINAUDYou are most welcome to try. Our paths may differ, but our destination is the same. In time, I daresay we will see eye to eye.
313309TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701630_ALISAIEI should hope so.
314310TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701640_BODYGUARDAM-M'lady!
315311TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701650_BODYGUARDBWe are to escort you!
316312TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701660_ALPHINAUDHope does not come into it. We share the burden of this fate, dear sister, and will prevail together or not at all.
317313TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701670_ALPHINAUDThe salve will serve not only to close up our present wounds...
318314TEXT_MANFST300_00511_701680_ALPHINAUD...but prevent old ones from opening anew.
