Something similar to path companions would be very cool and I'm sad that I missed playing ffxiv back when it was a feature. But I'm not trying to say it's too much work or can't be done, but rather that our own characters should get that extra dialog work if anything is.

There are very few instances in the game where we're given any dialog and even in those cases sometimes the characters around us give us the same responses no matter what we say. If dozens of new lines of text are going to be written for, and in response to, a character I would rather that character be us.

We designed both our own characters and our retainers, but the retainers are just extras in a movie, our characters are the star.
