free companies are player run guilds that have advantages that can make playing ffxiv more enjoyable. you can also have a solo free company if you just want the advantages without dealing with others.

Must have joined a grand company through the story before making a free company. talk to the oic administrator and found a free company option. make a name for the fc and a gamer tag after you must get three others to sign your petition to start one. make sure they don't want to stay if you plan on making a solo fc or have a friend make alts they can delete later. return to the oic npc pay 15k gil and congratulations on your new fc.
