They already said GC will be pretty much uniform (and to be fair, even outside of a random crafting leg piece in one GC, there are ZERO benefits to being in one over the other currently and from the road on.) No one knows what they'll implement in the future, but all GC are the same now, that won't suddenly change at one point, if it does change it'll be like conquest from FFXI (which they already said it won't be given how they're introducing Free Companies), while one nation may do better than another it doesn't realistically change anything about YOUR gameplay.

If anything, FREE COMPANIES (Player companies) will be the bad thing, not the story related ones, ESPECIALLY considering how Yoshida stated only one company per server can have a Primal summon pact for example, that type of scenario is what you should be worried about, not whether or not you get crafting pants from one GC or another.
