Companions in Dungeons

[Roth_Trailfinder]

They said they will look into bringing your GC squaddies into dungeons. A long time ago they had plans for Chocobos to accompany you in dungeons, but I do believe that is scrapped now.

They are supposedly planning on having the chocobo count more as pets than party members, as well as allowing us to have a chocobo out while queue'd for DF. It should not be too much of a stretch to go from those, to having chocobo with us in dungeons.

I foresee a couple of problems with that though, namely tuning. Either chocobos have to be made weak enough to not matter (and they actually would matter now, provided they did not eat AE's and die), or else dungeons would have to be tuned to having chocobos out, making leveling the chocobo a "mandatory" thing rather than an optional thing.

I'd hate to log in one day to see a PF for a Sastasha NM run, with chocobos, "max chocobo or kick."

Re: GC Squaddies, unless its 50 only content, OR they raise the level cap on them, I really do not see the point. They are classes, not jobs, so are missing some vital stuff. And at 50, they would not be useful in HW beyond Stone Vigil - and there, only barely.
