I'm very excited that the developers are going back to adventuring fellows...but I want her to come with me where I need her most, and there's no storyline explanation why she can't travel to, say, La Vaule [S] with me (she can travel to the past, so she should be able to come to past beastman strongholds with me).

Wajaom Woodlands, Bhaflau Thickets, Mount Zhayolm, Aydeewa Subterrane, and Caedarva Mire are nice, but a halfhearted start, in my opinion. The logic is easy to follow: Aht Urhgan areas that aren't beastman strongholds. But of those areas, the only two that I feel will greatly benefit from having fellows available are Caedarva Mire and Mount Zhayolm.

I feel fellows are really needed in
  • Halvung / Arrapago Reef / Mamook
  • Beaucedine Glacier [S] / Xarcabard [S]
  • La Vaule [S] / Beadeaux [S] / Castle Oztroja [S] / Castle Zvahl Baileys [S] / Castle Zvahl Keep [S]

The areas I listed above are where I, as a level 90 player, still miss my adventuring fellow for solo efficiecy and safety. I am happy that Liabelle finally will get her Boarding Pass to Aht Urhgan, but she needs to be a little less scared of Beastmen and the cold.
