Disappointing that we never received information regarding...

1) Quests that will expire come 2.0 - It would be nice to have a list of which sidequests / storyline quests will no longer exist come 2.0 (7th Umbral Storyline being the obvious ones but there will likely be others). This would allow many of us to try to complete these and see elements of story that will no longer exist.

2) Grand Company Seals: Should I be spending these now? Will they still exist? Will they be used for promotions in 2.0 that I should save them for an upcoming promotion requirement?

3) Grand Company Ranks: Will be reverting back to the recruit / lowbie ranks come 2.0? Would it be wise to take advantage of our high ranks at this point in time and buy the gear with our seals?

but we got them instead
1)almost every sidequest will be gone and/or reverted to beginning, except a relic reborn
2) your seal will be trasfered as are now, and will have the same purposes
3)your rank will be the same. Since you can switch grand company thou, if you do your rank will be the lowest. If you switch back to the precedent gc, you'll have back seals and rank

1) The whole quest system is changing so the current quests are basically out. Of course stuff like job quest etc. will be ported in a way. GC and main story line are of course changing

2) They carry over

3) No, our ranks won't be reverting

This thread is disappointing

Most of the quests are being reworked in some manner, so it's probably a good idea to try to just get them done if you really want to experience them.

Rukkirii posted in a thread that the Commemorative Coin should be traded before the final save if you want the company seals, else they're going to give something else for it, potentially a gil value. I think this alludes to company seals staying.

I haven't seen anything regarding whether our rank is resetting or not, but personally I doubt it. Climbing the GC ladder directly tied into progression of the 7th Umbral Story, so by the time you were ready to take on van Darnus, you were an esteemed member of your GC with close ties to your leader. I can't see that all going poof like nothing happened, but who knows?

fresh-new !

Don't worry! Grand Company seals will carry over into A Realm Reborn so you don't have to rush to spend them all right now.

Mind linking to some of these answers? Were they all answered in forums? I've watched the live interviews and such. If there isn't anything on the Lodestone page linking to these answers you can't expect your average player to know them.

Then the average player should learn the existance of these forums, and its dev tracker

You dont loose rank progression in that company, you do loose Seals.

It is identical to XI's home nations. In XI if you switch nation you lost CP and kept Rank.

All I really want to know is if Sentinel's gear will be 1.0 exclusive. If so, I'd like to go about finishing off the set before the final save. More than likely though it will be a common quest-able item. It's pretty much useless at this point but it looks cool.

How I understand it: Rank, seals and GC gear is bounded to the specific GC. If you switch from GC a to GC B you can't have the rank and seals from GC A and can't use the gear from GC A. If you switch back, you have again the rank and seals and can use the gear.
