when will grand company ranks finally get an overhaul?

Pretty much all of Eorzea is at peace at the moment so the usefulness of the Grand Companies is debatable, and also I'm not sure if they think any higher rank would be appropriate for the WoL, who is supposed to be a daring adventurer. If I become Supreme Commander, then doesn't that mean I have to sit at a desk and do paperwork to manage all of the people under my command? I don't think the Grand Companies themselves would want their leader they are dependent on to be someone who constantly puts themselves at the brink of death and travels to other worlds/end of the universe.

so you're just going to ignore all of the hostile wild life and bandits?

This has been a "problem" with the entire Grand Company thing from the onset, so I don't think it's worth criticizing, since it was clearly never implemented with that consideration in mind to begin with.

We're primarily members of a so-called politically neutral entity, and yet we're also captains of a specific city-state's military faction? Doesn't sound like a conflict of interest at all! Lmao

Anyway, the original plan for the final rank title was just "Champion", which doesn't really have any military connotations to begin with, regardless of whatever "responsibilities" may or may not have come with it, mechanically speaking. Either way, as I said, it never made that much sense in the first place, so whether it remains abandoned or they finally take it the rest of the way, it doesn't make much difference in the end.
