Will Grand Companies ever get an update?

I think that's part of the problem. I haven't gone through the list, but for example they can't do Qarn - that might be because they would mindlessly attack the stone heads that need to be manoeuvred into position on the switches.




Only the last two ranks require you to level squadrons. There's no need to avoid the system entirely.

And I'm on the 2nd penultimate rank, unable to progress further unless I try to use the awfully clunky and restrictive squadron system.

You did say you hadn't ranked up "at all".

Honestly, I avoided the system for a long time too because I didn't really understand it, but levelling then up by sending them on missions and training isn't much different to sending out retainers. I just do it when I remember.

And I think you just need to do five dungeons with them to reach captain rank? The three I've done so far seem fairly painless.
