At the bare minimum I'd like to have an option to disable dialogue with them so I don't have to click through what I've read them say 50 times already.

I would also vote for a retainer interface overhaul. It's fun customizing your retainers and the options the menu provides are great. But the biggest pain point for me is the dialogue. It adds so many additional clicks when assigning your retainers on ventures and switching between them. I could only imagine for the people that have 5+. I currently use 3 and its tedious due to the dialogue when i'm online and working ventures.

Another idea is to allow your commands and actions to be available to you immediately after selecting your retainer instead of moving into sub menus.

An example is after choosing your retainer a new UI opens up that gives you access to everything at once displaying gil, inventory, retainer's character sheet/gear, venture status/retrieval/assignment.
