I can only have one Grand Company on 1.19?

Is this correct?
If so, I should burn all my GC currency

It is true, you can only fully join one company. I believe it was said that other companies seals will vanish or something too. so I would burn all the seals for the companies you dont plan on joining. Even tho I burned all my seals for all companies already :P.

I see.
My problem with that is spending on stuff I don't really need.
I wish I could just buy a ton of the company-issued manuals and keep them until I found an use for them, but they're Unique. Gotta find something to do with those damned seals now.

I'm thinking more that they'll still give you the recruit-level quests for each GC, but then after you've completed those, you'll be required to finish a final intro quest to be formally inducted/raise a rank and then have access to further quests. Otherwise, they're blocking off a lot of content for players who haven't completed the dungeon quests, and want to see each nation. In addition, from what's been said, personal chocos aren't recruit level, so i'm guessing there's got to be some sort of gating there. Maybe i'm wrong.

Indeed, there will be new ranks in the Great Companies, but nothing more than that has been said other than some dev/community rep tellings us that in the future we won't be able to join all the grand companies anymore.
Things are very unclear right now, but all I really want to know is if I'll have to use my seals before the patch, it wouldn't be cool to simply lose that many seals without a warning.

Greetings,

I posted about topic you're bringing up in the past, so here it is again for your reference!

Will there be repeatable quests that reward company seals?

We will continue to implement quests and content where you can obtain seals in stages from 1.19 on.

Once you join a Grand Company, will the seals you earned from the other two city-states be unusable?

---

Yes, you won't be able to use them. However, since there is a possibility that we devise future uses for those other seals, we will be maintaining your seal data behind-the-scenes.

As for the other discussions related to the choices of rewards offered between the Grand Companies, I will pass along your comments to the dev. team.

Given that, Burn them or don't burn them :) up to you, but we wont be able to use them after you fully join one company 'for the time being'.

I understand that part of it, and it makes sense; however, nothing really was ever said whether or not there'd be a final introductory quest or speech or whatnot that locks you in for good. It seems like they'd still give players the option to tour each city and see the different starter cutscenes/quests before settling on one. I can't really see people just showing up to the counter, and bam, too bad you're stuck!

This would also give players the ability to burn their seals before not seeing them again for an indeterminate amount of time.

Hah, well they currently ask you if you want to join when going to the recruit stage, I'm pretty sure you will be asked when going beyond that. And I am hoping they will stress that the change is irreversible too.

Think with me for a second:
After Patch 1.19 you won't be able to purchase anything from other GC's and you'll be able to repeat quests that will give you Seals for your GC of choice.
So basically, when they do bring back the possibility to join another GC in parallel, you'll probably be able to get Seals from repeatable quests.
The best choice is to burn them for now and if you need more seals in the future, you can just earn them from repeatable quests.

Thanks a lot, Bayohne.
This really cleared things up.
