Bump because there's no point creating a new thread about it.
An interview by Dengeki was released today. Not much interesting stuff in it so I'm not posting it in the Headlines. However, there was this interesting tidbit:

Quote:Tanaka: In FFXI, there are Linkshells, which are like casual groups of players. In FFXIV we want to have a system for more tightly-knit groups, called Companies. So while there is a lot of flexibility in customization, a player will also gradually define their identity within their own Company.
-- Since Companies weren't present in the beta, people have been left wondering how they will be implemented.
Tanaka: We plan to add Companies in a version update after the game's release, so it's still a secret. (laughs) The plan is to continue with the Linkshell system once service begins and eventually morph existing groups into Companies, which will let them operate more like guilds or clans.
