I enjoy tactical games like ff tactics, xcom or fire emblem and I think it would be cool if the squad system here worked more like the system in ff tactics advance. Where you had an entire company of squad members to have different combinations of jobs and even multiples of the same job, you could send them out on individual missions that require specific classes and they’d gain experience and bring back special rewards as well as items that could be used to fulfil requirements for higher level missions with better rewards.

I think this would be a great way to expand the system in ffxiv. It could easily work with the current system, maybe even make it the next step after we get promoted, the GC was pleased with our efforts with adventurer squadrons so wishes to put us in charge of a larger force.

Giving us access to say, 20 squad members, access to the individual missions and maybe the ability to upgrade squadron classes to jobs so we’d have more job variety.

This would give us more options for command missions too, right now we can’t even have one of every class at the same time, let alone doubling up on them. With more squad members we’d be able to mix and match for different setups.
