If 'Favour' System becomes real...

^ Could use the linkshell for something like that.

Like, say you die out in the overworld. You'd have the option to call for your friends to help you, if you have a favored NPC. One of them would answer and either show up out there and rez you (most) or if they're a faction leader where they're typically not found wandering around, send soldiers out to rez you. Could have a similar thing for calling them to help you in combat, like the Chocobo. The actual NPC if normal, if an important faction leader, they send a retainer to help.

Little stuff like that.

That'd be neat, to that I'd also like to see NPC use the mail system (to you). Would be nice to get a thank you letter, or a follow up quest in the mail. Also with the linkshell idea you could also have the npc ask for help and you can show up to earn extra favour or something (exp, gil, item, what have you).

Tataru: "Eeek!- Help me "player name", I was just mining minding my own business and I'm smack dab in the middle of a Coblyn nest!" "<pos>, you're my only hope!(lol)". Not all need be emergency, perhaps if you are in queue for a long time you are invited to join them in a party of something you queued for (reasonable content only ofc). Or gathering and they invite or ask if they may gather with you (getting an exp bonus or small rate up).
