Repair NPCs in Dungeons

[Sainya]

I actually think a repair npc right inside the dungeon would be fabulous. What reason is there not to be one.

Might be weird lore to have a unique npc at each dungeon entrance, that said I could think of two ideas I wouldn't mind at least. A. traveling merchant that perchance is near when you need, like in FFX and loads of RPGs that cute "omg its you again, I know I'm right outside the pits of the underworld but LOL buy something?" and you develop that relationship. Could be a cute side like content. It's still a little weird, but I feel its an acceptable trope now heh.

B. In my search for SE to bring my helpful moogle back ala FFIX/FFXI - we could earn a kupo whistle that we can upgrade with services including repairing.

While I think its a bit silly to go into a dungeon with broken gear and people should feel a bit goofy doing that but, I don't really agree with people with the like "welp you're screwed, suffer now" since that includes the entire party having to suffer through it too. Besides, I reaaallly want a kupo buddy. An ofc add other features like being able to summon basic merchant, or perhaps even send him on a short item grab/deposit mission.

Like, Kupo?

Crafters lose another unique aspect of their work. Also, you might as well at that point remove repair npc's outside of dungeons, since you can just queue for one anywhere due to unsynced.

Also, dungeons are dangerous. That's why they usually have NPCs outside of them keeping others out. If you haven't noticed, most menders look like merchants with having never lifted a weapon in their life save to sell it.

Immersion, please keep it.

Two words disprove your argument: Yokai Watch.

It's entirely possible for the merchant to sit at the entrance where it's perfectly safe, or even to have a couple of guard NPCs with him. There are far more "immersion breaking" things to worry about in the game.
