I liked the idea of joining a Grand Company and doing content for them and with Squadrons but it's all be abandonded, so here are some ideas for content I'd like to see for further ranks. I feel like it's a piece of casual content that's lacking and could be fun. Note I haven't finished Endwalker or even bought Dawntrail but I am assuming the Eorzean alliance is still going on.
Institute an Eorzean Alliance HQ in Mor Dhona
Early ranks would allow you join all 3 OG CG and enjoy their perks, gear and items, as well as new glamour like Crystal Braves sets and other gear inspired by later allies.
Instead of optional dungeons, you'd have to lead a mission in the open world with your squadron to rank up similar to job/role quest fights.
We could also get some new private quarters to decorate and host our squadron. Thank to a strict collaboration with Rowena we could also get some old poetic items to be buyable with seals (like Relic items).
Upgrade Hunting Log to Bestiary
The new bestiary would include all previous hunting logs as well as new hunting logs for all new regions *and* Hunts.
All daily/weekly bills would automatically be accepted in the Bestiary with an option to refresh every day. Clan representative would be found in the HQ to buy items from.
In order to help you fill the A/S rank bestiary, every week you'd get a random request for an A/S rank that'd spawn in the arena of a dungeon. You can tackle the fight with your squadron or with party members to help them fill their bestiary (you can join as many parties as you want even if you personally only get one weekly mission).
Every entry would have a tidbit of lore and an art piece, similar to the Sightseeing Log.
Unreal Dungeons
Reaching the highest rank would unlock the biggest piece of content for casuals who enjoy dungeons. Every week you'd share your experience in combat by reminiscing about old battles.
These are old dungeons brought to max level that also include random modifiers to the fight (ie permament bleed, random poisons or knockback effects added to attacks, doubling up adds or random ground attacks) to spice things up and make it harder than a normal dungeon but still familiar enough that it doesn't bleed into hardcore content.
Rewards could be something like lvl1, all classes, dyeable gear sets from that dungeon. You can tackle this with your squadron or other players who can also roll on loot and it doesn't lock them out of further gear (you can join as many parties as you want even if you personally only get one weekly mission).
More Chocobo Levels
Give us more levels and more abilities! We could also have passives like increased mount speed (making running and not flying worth something), more seals/exp/gemstones in FATEs or better Elite Mark detection when your chocobo is out.
