Will Grand Companies ever get an update?

with how they're spreading their focus around to different things in this expac it's my hope that grand companies get an update. new ranks would be nice, as would new maelstrom/adder/flame armor and weapons

One can hope at least I hope GC gets some love with some updates. But honestly, I also wish the GCs had their own separate questline/story that focus more on the story/lore of the city-state they were in and Ishgard had a GC

Let me join a Temple Knight GC please.
I love the idea of a long side story exploring each city-state's story and problems.
Maybe once Ishgardian restoration is concluded they will do something like that?

I'd love to see an expansion or at least continuation of the idea. If we could become progress though the guard corps in Kugane, I'd be very happy.

I mean, I guess so?

The ranks are all in the game, as you can check on your GC page in your stats it lists out all the ranks even ones above you that haven't been released to players yet.

Really, the big thing is all about "When". It seems to be a low priority thing for them, given how little expansion GC's have gotten the past few years. Only getting a few new glamour items and Squadron updates.

Would also be nice to have access to Temple Knights GC as well as help out with the Doman Guard. Given how instrumental we've been in aiding them already, I could see us getting a pass to be a part-time worker.

Please for the love of god allow me to make multiple special deliveries at once. Or at least make it a quick process just like selling items, instead of getting this "DELIVERY COMPLETE" message and delay every damn time you deliver 1 piece.

Ishgard never needed a grand company, as it had a standing army. The other city states did not, which is why the grand companies were formed.

That much is true but don't forget that things signifcantly changed in Ishgard and it's not far-fetched that the Temple Knights would take on "GC-like" characteristics. Just a relatively short while ago their gates were also barred to outsiders, adventurers extremely unwelcome and the notion of granting someone a home within their walls absolutely absurd.

The Grand Companies are being expanded and updated SLOWLY over time.
I like to think its so they can make and release Content around the new levels in each expansion. So Id like to think we WILL see an update this expansion, just like we got Squadron Command Missions and a new rank and new Glamour and items at some point in Stormblood.

Its been a while since our last update, but it will come.
I think they have a map plan on how they are updating GCs
FCs on the other hand.... lol

I just want that bad ass black long coat we were going to get, but instead we got that captain’s coat. I hope they’ll release that one next.
