Chocobo companion customization. If there is "functional" value, having unique barding and feather coloration in it's vanity allows you to keep better tabs on the NPC.

Minions and vanity in general has no "functional" value, but no one wants them gone because they are fun and personal. Same thing with our birds.

(Though, I do wish we could make other mounts into our combat companion.)

Why do u care if more people want to do old content by themselves. What if I'd rather farm the hw primal with others? They could balance this u shouldn't have to do everything in the game with three or four other people all the time. It's plenty of solo focus mmos that do just as well as others. And also it's always optional so if u want to party up with others all the time it's nothing stopping u.

Your chocobo may belong in a KFC boneless bucket, but my chocobo is fabulous.

None of the 13 emotes listed in the command list were listed as emotes that would be released in the MogStation so I think we're good :D

I feel like everyone losing it over squadrons would flip out if they realized how many players use the undersized option to knock out old content. Sastasha sync'd can take about 20 minutes, unsync'd can be cleared SOLO in about 5.

NOT TO MENTION that the plan with Squadrons was to ALWAYS have them act as dungeon companions. It just took forever for the next phase to be implemented.

Tbh Squadron was their first idea for solo dungeons during the end of ARR then they made unsynched a thing and honestly I thought the squadron option would end up a discarded Idea.
I'll be frank I was surprised to see that coming, but even now I still don't know what they are gonna be outside of optional content, I'll reserve m judgement after I'll have given a try on the dungeon thing anyway

I ... want to see my minion sit on my chocobo somehow when doing some open-world stuffs.

I think square enix never take the good way about SMN adjustement,
the actual problem with the smn rotation is bahamut'' for maximise the dps with bahamut we must wait etherflow and addle,
to correct it must just put the wyrmwaves of bahamut in automatic ''
For death problem'' do not loses bahamut stack after with death '' and reset lucid dreaming !!!
Actually is a nerf for me for all best summoner player,
all good smn will spam ruin 3 and never need mana,
actually we loses the combo '' R4+R2+fester for maximise dps !
and we loses 20 of potency in main spell /puke !
Smn mobility is fine, why upgrade mobility in DWT ?
Why remplace ruin 1 per ruin 3,
why not just decrease the mana cost of ruin 3 ?

if square enix know how much the actual change of the summoner changes nothing,
and is a big nerf for great smn !

I was saddened to find that they separated the housing storage into inside and outside sections. I know that what you own determines how much space you get, however I was looking forward to being able to store seasonal event outside furnishings to get back retainer space even though I own only an apartment, which apartment owners get zero outside storage space. I figured buy one time limited outside furnishing like the Eastern Cherry Petal Pile to hold onto when I eventually get a house. SE mentions a storage system, I get excited, half of it gets shot to pieces. Oh well. Tons of stuff in these notes I'm looking forward to at least.

With the ability to craft them dropping to level 15, I expect we'll see more people just unlocking the ability to make their own rather than buying them. So there might be a bit of an initial surge, but it won't last long and is likely to end up with prisms cheaper than now.

If the mats stay the same, that would be useful. But in dropping the level of the recipes from 30 to 15, it's quite possible their mats could change as well. (We wouldn't see something like that until the full patch notes are available.)

EDIT: Come to think of it, maybe not. We might not be given the specific material changes, but even preliminary notes would mention something along the line of "materials for certain recipes have been updated" and I didn't see a section like that. So yeah, go for it. Those mats may be getting some new demand.
