Currently we can use <fthpp> to see our fellows HP as a percent of max, but this really isn't enough. I purpose the following commands be implemented:
<ftmpp> : Fellows MP as a percentage of Max MP
<fttp> : Fellows current TP
This would make it much easier to create an /echo macro to keep tabs on your fellows current status midbattle.

I would hate to think we are the only 2 players who want to check the status of our fellows, if that is the case perhaps the dev team shouldn't have bothered upgrading our fellows in the first place...

I honestly don't use my fellow. I unlocked her, messed around for a few days, never did the Promyvion quests to call more often, and I'm pretty sure she's at level 31. Hell, I even threw away the pearl (yes I know you can get more). I also have very little interest in actually leveling my fellow at all.
Despite this, I know that some people enjoy their fellow, whether for fun or practical purposes (soloing and/or trials, et cetera). And I think it would be a good idea to add these commands for the people who do care. Frankly, I didn't know that they weren't there and I'm actually surprised by it. It just seems to make sense, would be completely logical commands to add for those who do care.

Mine is usually to busy spamming dia, paralize, slow, to remeber there supposed to be healing me, but thats normal of all the WHM AI in this game, the WHM Demons in Dynamis don't exactly keep the well being of their fellows in mind either. That being said I'm still grateful for the occasional Cure spell and haste she throws my way, and in exchange if we have to rest MP from time to time so be it, I would have to rest more without her anyway.

I think that's a fantastic idea. Considering PUPs just recently got a <petmp> macro in the last major update, and have had <pethp> and <pettp> for a long time, it would make sense to see something like this alongside the fellow level cap changes.
And yes, I like using my fellow too! My Raka is level 70, she wears an Opaline Dress set with the tiara (when she's not rocking her Opo Opo crown) and swings a pearly white Scythe, and is usually on Fierce Attacker due to her... MP management issues. She has helped me through many a magian trial, weapon breaking session (Nyzul and quested WS weapons), FoV solo exp session, farming time, and solo and small group NM kills.
I'm excited to see fellows weren't completely forgotten, looking forward to getting her up to the new max level.

I didn't even know we had such a command. Even then, it's kind of useless since their health bar is right with the rest of the pet HP bars. MP and TP would be great, since no bars exist to show them and the optional battle conversation can get lost amid the rest of the data.

This is what my NPC fellow does. Although, he's actually somewhat competent at curing status effects.
When he does run out of MP (and quickly, at that), at least I get some entertainment out of him via TA+Weaponskills and laughing at how fast he dies.
While largely worthless, he did make all those Magian dagger trials a little less monotonous.
I was just checking today to see if there was any commands that would show the mp and tp of your NPC.. I guess there isn't .. so yeah I would hope to see this in an update

Sure, <fttp> , <ftmp> and <ftmpp> would be nice
but
Can Fellows get Refresh, at least for themselves, if not for their masters as well? NPCs simply cannot keep up with us anymore.
