Will Grand Companies ever get an update?

Whatever happens I'd just like to ask SE to not give adder pee pee yellow ugly glamour this time around.

Trouble is, yellow is the national colour of Gridania hence it's the colour of all Twin Adder uniforms in some manner (it's the colour of the earth/land). So I'm afraid any future gear released for the Twin Adders will be some shade of yellow, with some khaki/dark green and variations of brown thrown in for good measure.

I could say something about Gridania's taste in colour being 1970's inspired though... but I won't.

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.

While I understand the reasoning behind them potentially not adding something for Ishgard, I think there's opportunity for them to add something to Doma and to Ala Mhigo.

Some things I would like to see for Grand Company updates:
-Changing access to expert delivery to a lower rank. With the way the armory buff works, a lot of the items locked behind ranks and seals are irrelevant by the time you get the chance to buy them.
-More actual items. That the GC stops supplying relevant gear at level 50 seems like a loss. I used a lot of pieces while leveling up my classes/jobs, and I think it could be helpful 51-80.

I think that while there's a certain understandable disconnect between player characters and the Grand Companies (you can't really serve in a GC so much as you say you're affiliated with one and they take your help whenever they can), it's got a lot of potential. They could add more GC-specific 8-man content (a change of pace from raids and primals, perhaps content focused around battles with Garlemald). Actually, it would be interesting if they used the Grand Companies to better integrate the Alliance raids into lore/relevance. It sounds like they're named after the Eorzean Alliance, after all.

Anyway, those are my 2 gil on the matter from the perspective of someone who still hasn't completed ShB MSQ. I like the Grand Companies. I'd like to see them updated.

And I'd also love to be able to change my city-state.

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.

Yes plz.. i would love something else to do with my GC certs other than amassing buttloads of ventures. I used to process them into desynth fodder.. now I don't need to since it's now applicable to any gear. Give me a new rank, a new bank of rewards.. SOMETHING.
