What needs to be done again after changing GC's?

I read that you need to be Second Lieutenant to change grand companies is this true and if so why are the restrictions on changing so high? I chose the Immortal Flames but would prefer to switch to The Maelstrom in Limsa Lominsa I don't want to do ranks for a company I have no desire to be a part of.

I agree that Second Lieutenant is too high to change, especially since when you accept the grand company on Lv 20 you can't abandon it and choose another one. Merely accepting the quest automatically restricts you to that GC until you completed Mainstory and finished ranking up.. It's a bit harsh imo. But anyway, I have done it now and am ready to change GC, but like I stated in previous posts I don't want to do it until I know the consequences in more detail..

bumping, anyone got any info on this yet? what happens to instances in duty finder after switching GC? Will we have to redo all of the mainstory to join dungeons and unlock new ones?

best regards
