Make own parties with retainers

[Marcu18]

Oh thats kind of…. Disappointing. Can we interact with them? Can we see there names? If not, then we might mistake them for a npc and not even think twice thats someones retainer. Is it possible to think about adding or summonable to party, adventuring or dungeons? Cause right now they feel a little like a dog. I give you ventures now go fetch me something.(Im not tying to insult you guys Square Enix. God won’t like if i did that)

Greetings,

While we don’t currently have any plans to be able to party with your retainer… Check this out!

Have any of you noticed the retainers out and about in certain field areas gathering for their masters?
After patch 2.3 we made it possible to see them gathering in the field, so next time you’re gathering, the person next to you might just be someone’s retainer!

I can see it now, people reporting retainers for botting... lol

And also Grekumah! If its ok to ask, will personal housing be purely cosmetic. I wanted to know will it add new abilities to use like the Home Turf dlc of Dc Universe cause 300,000 gil is a lot to pay for it. Then more gil to customize the looks inside.

That's interesting! That makes glamour for my retainers worthy!

So thats what i saw when i was out mining cobalt ores few nights ago, because the no-named npc suddenly turned towards me & spoke a few words.
Was kinda creepy because i was the only one there lol.

I'm a total sucker for these dynamic changes to the game world, especially in MMOs where you least expect them.

I also noticed Minfilia's private military of ULTRAMARINE WARRIORS standing around serving and protecting Eorzea on streetcorners after you finish the MSQ. Love it!

Oh…. I haven’t even noticed this change at all. I’ve been exploring and going about my business and probably mistaken them for npc’s. I guess some have seen and like this feature but.. Not me(shrugs shoulders). Disappointing for me though.

Is this only for Gathering class retainers, or will we be able to see battle classes duking it out with their targets? :3

Oh so it was someone's retainer killing all the sheep on me...

Can you also include retainers stealing roofs and furnitures from houses?
