Other Grand Company Ranks when?

So I just reached Storm Captain, but I noticed in the character box it shows higher ones. What are the plans on those?

If feels like the devs only add a single promotion per expansion as an obligation and not much else.
But if they can add more military uniforms, that'd be great.

they're not going to just hand out higher promotions just because, now that we're "getting up there" they will want to make sure giving those promotions make sense and so will have to create something appropriate and meaningful to justify those promotions.

sometimes I still wish to be a Flame Hero

They've literally only added new ranks once in the games whole 7 year lifetime. The Highest up until mid-stormblood (so for about 5 years) was first lieutenant. Pretty sure they have no plans any time soon to add more.

The rollout on higher GC ranks has been *incredibly* slow. I would not expect to see the highest rank become available until the point in time the game is receiving its final content updates, if ever.

Twice, actually. Once per expansion so far. At launch it only went up to Second Lieutenant. First Lieutenant was added in mid-HW and Captain in mid-SB. Maybe we'll see another rank next patch. Who knows?

It's part of the log jam. They want new gc content associated with those ranks but they hardly ever get time to work on it because of all the other stuff they give a higher priority. So there's no time frame for implementation, just somewhere on the to do list.

Our Grand Company membership has been almost entirely irrelevant since ARR. Maybe they can actually make them meaningful again, then we'll have a reason to rank up.

I just hope they’ll increase the Squadron ranks with new dungeons, expand the squadron roster from 8 to 12 at least and add the new races into the squads. Just leveling them up from 60 to 70, should get us a new rank, maybe.
