The progression will very likely remain as:
hamlet seals > broken weapon retrieval & double-melded class weapon > 3 x mythril ore and salts > Caravan/Darkhold/Behest perfections > Spiritbonding > Beastman Currency > Faction Leve > Garuda and Ifrit Extreme.

But exactly how each part changes is yet to be seen. eg: How to get the miser's mythril and aurum salts.
As long as it doesn't turn into the way FFXI is right now I'll probably be happy. I hate grinding High-level NMs all so one person in a party/LS can get work on their weapon done. I loved FFXI but it's recent decline into a luck-based game is why I've come back to FFXIV and so far I'm loving every minute of it. The devs are so much more responsive and keen to listening to player input and I love it!
