I don't recall it ever being listed on the quartermaster's shop (since at least Stormblood) but the one place that has always listed the ranks is in the second tab of your character profile, and that still shows all the ranks. Beyond our current limit of captain, there are three ranks of commander then four of marshal, ending with champion.

I think we've unofficially progressed well past the level of champion, really...

Maybe one of these days they'll actually do something more with the Squadrons and bring them out of Heavensward.

I've said it in the past, but they really should try to find a way to integrate them to the Duty Support system...

Make it unlock much earlier, and then when you're doing dungeons with the Duty Support, rather than having literal nameless NPCs as filler for slots in later dungeons and for all of ARR's dungeons, you could pull from the Squadron.

Maybe they will update are grand company. It could be awesome to keep up with what’s going on with the grand company while we are on a different adventure.

Ooooh. I really like that idea.

I’m happy others like the idea that of maybe a little update to gc but I also thinking maybe they will never bring it back.

there are still 8possible GC ranks to attain. Seccond Storm Commander, First Storm Commander and High Strom Commander,..., up to Strom Champion for example. The files for it are already in the game

Also they've said they don't know what to do with GC Stuff, which is why it's years between updates for it.

They do. They just don't get gear that starts at levels below what the job starts at.

So for example, if you're looking at RPR you won't find any gear below level 70. It makes perfect sense because the only purpose for it would be for glam.

GCs need a rework though. Totally not just saying that because I've run out of reasonable items to purchase with seals besides just dumping them into sub mats and selling them.
