One of the coolest things added in 2.0 in my opinion was the addition of the Chocobo Companion, and is something I have yet to see in any other game. However I feel that this system could be expanded upon in so many ways, and the idea came to me when they introduced the new Ventures system for your Retainers.

As much as I love running around with my Chocobo when I'm leveling a new class or doing my beast tribe dailies, there are sadly only so many ways you can dress a chocobo up to make him unique and even then a Chocobo is still a Chocobo. I think even in this case variety is the spice of life, and the idea I had was to add more options for companions. For example, say you're tired of running around with your Chocobo but you've completed the Amalj'aa beast dailies. Perhaps instead you could summon an Ashsworn to fight at your side? Perhaps after reaching a certain rank you can buy consumables with GC seals that allow you to summon a member of your company to your aid? Maybe even call your Retainer to fight with you?

Honestly the possibilities for this kind of system could be endless if they implemented it, and they could add all kinds of hidden companions you could unlock via achievements, questlines, dungeons, or whatever else. Perhaps make it so that each of these companions only had a single path they would level down, but they each got unique abilities tailored to them that would make them stand out more, or heck even if they just fit into one of the three current chocobo builds I think most would still enjoy it.

I'm eager to see if any others share my opinion on the implementation of something like this (if not exactly sharing my ideas), and what kind of companions would others want to see added?
