Maybe some other minor tweaks .
They said they were going to release the info on companies right before patch 1.17 goes live. Read the dev tags in the lodestone post. The proof is right there.

I think in this particular post they downplayed the fact that companies are included. Why hype a feature that you've released no information on thus far apart from a name change? We're probably going to get all the information on companies tomorrow or Thursday, considering something involving them WILL be playable after 1.17.
