Main Scenario NPC Fellows

Has SE mentioned anything about the future of main scenario NPC fellows after 2.0?

I hope they have mentioned something about them i might have skiped to read, but last i know chocobos will be our next adventure partners, so im wondering what will be of our path companions from main scenario quests.

If I ever meet mine again I will strangle the annoying little swine.

Nothing's been said, other than the fact that the Story-line "The Path of the Twelve" will be continued. He/She will probably show up there, but heck, maybe he'll die during the fall of Meteor.

I really like mine, I hope there is a future for him.

wonder if they would consider reseting the scenario at 2.0.

I want to redo my path companion, can't stand the Miqo'te.

Very weird when you view your character as a child (Lalafel) of like 9 years old. And The miqo'te is making lots of sexual references to you. Creepy.

As I chose the female midlander, I do miss her boisterous attitude. Really wish I could give her different equipment, though.

If you remember the manga/anime "Negima!", this wouldn't be the first time girls make advances on wizard kids. Just sayin'.

Mine always tried molesting me.

I'm pretty sure you can change your companion o.O

Not after you've completed the main scenario, seeing as how you aren't allowed into the Merchants' Ward.

I want mine back as an alternative to my choco companion.

THEY ALL GON DIE

Hahahaha Negima. The anime made some pretty funny jokes, the manga not to sure. Haven't read them too much.

Definitely a badass wizard right there. Even more with His Fire/Lightning forms.

They should have included the Companions in the GC quests, and had Van Darnus kill them for dramatic effect.
On an unrelated note, I hope we can put our own gear on Companions in 2.0

Akamatsu Ken has a tendency to do decent harem series. I attribute it to the fact that he knows how to make likeable characters.

Anyway, now you know how you can play on that Miqo'te path companion of yours.

This I can actually see happening. Almost like the final vestiges of old FFXIV dying with your path companion.

I do miss that ole girlfriend of mine. She was one sexy feline. If she dies by 2.0, I'm strangle-punting the first lalafell I get my hands on.

That's what you get for picking a Lalafell companion, I'm sure... o'wait! XD

Our companions are the new SE Sephiroth, they Just won't die. I mean... How the hell do they survive all that.

I'm shamelesdsly bumping this thread again for the devs in the light of Gamescon 2012... will our NPC Path Companions be in 2.0? I seriously miss mine and have not been able to use her in anything ever since I completed the Main scenario quests last year (I have the witty female Lalafell Shantotto build)

So will they be in 2.0? And if so, how do we get them back? Will they be more involved in the storyline or relevant sidequests? And will we be able to level them up just as the Fellow system in FFXI?

I just realized it is possible that the companion died in the meteor fall. I really hope this doesn't happen. It has been like a year since I have seen my companion but she was so funny and awesome! I want to play with her again.

Your shamelessness is what forfeited the true Elezen rule of Eorzea.

On the contrary brethren... my shamelessness is what has been characteristic in maintaining our status as the aristocracy of Eorzea (since the fall of the Allagan empire). From shamelessness comes fearlessness... look towards our illustrious race and see truth; Van Darnus, Urianger, Travanchet, Louisoix... even Prince Nuada (yep, he was Elezen)

Would be nice to have my companion fight along side me again.

I do like the Chocobo fighting along side too. Though gonna feel strange having my Chocobo change class/job for me.

I suspect they decided on the Chocobo filling that role, atleast for now, because if you use companions you would probably need to:

Write dialogue for them, Chocos' just "Wark!"
Possibly give them some sort of reactions when doing quest type stuff, Choco just "Wark!"
Re-write/redesign X number of companions, Chocobos would entail possibly less animations. WIng flap with lights = Cast. Peck and scratch = attack. Peck and scratch Plus lighting = Weapon skill.

And possibly since the Chocobo is yours, your steed, pet and friend, there no real reason to have a storyline which they leave for a period of time. But are then summoned for a 4 man when your a person short. This way if they DO include our Companions. They can do some fairly FF-like Group of heros split up and meet later, kind of stories.

I liked mine when he was a timid little momma's boy. But then he got all brave and was as boring as any ol' NPC... :/

I was hoping to have a buddy cop thing going on with a Hellsguard mage, but he turned out to be dully written and programmed with useless AI, so I'm not eager to see him back.
