The Companion System Could Use Some Work

You forgot one thing thats like the worst.
We can't control our chocobos.
They just attack the first thing we attack and we acn't make them change target.

Like, me and my two fc mates did maps. Two outside mobs decides to join the fight, so we move away from them to make them run back
Our chocobos,all 3 of them, decides that it's more important to chase mobs that's gonna run back and be at full health.

The chocobo system feels like it's still in beta and that the developers don't even know how to fix it.

yeah it's really irritating. For example, I might want to be able to send my tank chocobo in, and let it get a few seconds aggro before attacking myself. But you can't even do something as simple as that! You always need to attack first.

Also, Chocobos counting as Party members prevent you from receiving party invites. Why not instead let you receive the invite, and then just auto dismiss the chocobo if you accept?

Shouldn't even have to do that, you could just merge the parties unless it'll be over a full party, with the inviter as leader.

haha, yeah true. Which brings up a thought: can a party leader dismiss or kick chocobos? I've never tried it. Because I can see the complaint about a choco taking up a members space when the leader is attempting to invite several people at a time. If the party slots get filled up with chocobos between the time a player gets an invite and when they accept, the player gets an error.

Well, you *can* make them change target, but it's not intuitive. You just put the chocobo in healer stance for a second, then throw him back into attacker/defender/free and hit the mob you want him attacking.

Actually you can. Switch it to healer stance, so it disengages, Then back to free/DPS/tank stance and it attacks theone you are attacking after switching.

Definitely agree. We should be able to take the chocobo to all of those places and we should be able to queue for roulettes while it's out, though obviously if we queue normal roulette it shouldn't put the boco in the party, just freeze the timer and temporarily dismiss it.

Think most would be fine if fully dismissed it.

Oh god yes! Its worse when you have to "pacify" a mob in some Guildleves. I don't even bother with that no more
