Npc Companions

I think that they probably don't want us to solo queue?

I'd also heard (may be wrong) that they'd wanted to give us human companions but the AI was so wonky and simplistic that the companion didn't act human at all. So war bird it is!

We can do undersized parties, though. And some of the instances in Heavensward feel as if they were experimenting with NPC AI for combat situations to me. Reminded me of the Gambit System.

I'd love to take my retainer into a dungeon with me, even if it's just one. Especially lower-level dungeons that guarantee an hour-long queue for any role, if I'm looking to give my retainer experience points, even if there's a cap of some sort. It'd be nice to see them in action and using the gear that you gave them.

On that note, a battle companion besides my chocobo would be amazing. At first, I was happy to ride him around and have him dole out a little extra damage or healing when I was alone. But I've really come to hate that stupid bird.
