i miss adventuring fellows from XI.

I -really- miss my XI fellow Fhig. I did sooo much with her, worked really hard and managed to get her to 65. She was amazingly helpful and I loved that we could chat. The quest line with it was pretty great and eventually a NPC allowed us to buy gear,jobs, attitudes, headpeices, weapons and even wedding attire for the time I spent summoning her out. I would be the happiest cat in the whole wide world if I could have this NPC fellow back in my game.

I miss Liabelle, my naive female Elvaan companion as well. While there's not much that I remember fondly from FFXI, fighting against her in the Clash of the Comrades quest was one of the few exceptions. Duelle the Red Mage vs Liabelle the Red Mage was fun.

If I were to assign customization options, I would definitely go the route of classes, a LOT more face options for companions as well as hair options. Rather than random reload intro screens like what was done with path companions in 1.0, I'd make the quest revolving around a crime scene and having someone "sketching" a suspect description (could even make it a Hyldibrand quest while we're at it), which then is used to create your path companion/adventuring fellow.
