I also love my dear Yoli very much. She more or less is my "little sister" ingame and it saddens me that she is kind of left out of all those level cap increases. I wish nothing more than the possibility to level her again, get her new and more amazing equipment and hang out with her again a lot more. I still have her out whenever I can but it is kind of pointless to limit their uses to the lower levels.

I also would find it awesome to have a new system for your NPCs like a "training options" where you can (in addition to the tactical manuals) teach them new abilities or improve their stats. It would be cool if we could just go and add a str point to their stats by spending fellow points or unlock NPC abilities or maybe even special attacks only usable by our companions like Blessed Radiance with quests or also fellow points (just like we can merit ourselves, why not merit the NPC?). Upgrades to the signal pearl itself also could be made obtainable for shorter cool down times, more charges or much longer duration of our NPCs stay (50 mobs or maybe even 100 mobs (I'd love to have her without limits but that'd be a bit too much^^)

There is so much potential in the Fellow Adventurer system, it just has to be used. Now, after this post, I will much some of the homemade Risotto my dear Yoli made for me and hope for her that she'll also be able to break her limits soon. FELLOW NPCs FTW!!!
