So I have to ask, since this has kind of been glossed over in this thread:
Just what does the rank actually mean in regards to the adventurer units? If it doesn't really have any correlation with your level of authority (and why would it? It's not like you're ever actually out in the field doling out orders in a fire team), what does it actually mean for someone in the Foreign Levy/Free Brigade/Yellow Serpents to be a Second Lieutenant?
Is it just prestige? Incentivization to go out and do things? Are the weapons I have (Serpent Elite, from the Hunts, but pretty obviously intended for a higher GC rank) things that I could actually have IC?
I need to knoooow!
