Thread: 1.0 Path Companion! Please give us answers!

Yes, I'm making new thread again over the old one. Felt it was necessary since there's still no word on their status.

What happened to my (our) path companion? Do they live? Do they perished? Are they gone into hiding? Or married? Or whatever...

This question also has been asked over and over again without absent on every upcoming live letters, but you guys still being silent over this and always skimmed this over and over again. Even expansion already coming soon and yet no news of our beloved companion.

Can I (or we) at least get an official statement of their current where beings or whether we get to meet them again or not? I think this has been really overdue. I still miss my path companion very dearly, but this needs a conclusion. If they died, so be it. At least don't leave us hanging, please.

My path companion was pretty awesome. I'd like more to do with them too.

I'm sure they'll throw out a lore excuse but from a gameplay perspective, they got rid of them because they gave us the chocobo buddy and didn't want to rework the path companion. Also because they used gambits for enemies and bosses rather than letting us use it for our companion.

They all died tragically in an accident at a glue factory.

Unfortunately they did not survive the calamity. Consider it a project that was canceled. Like many other things from that era :[

Uh, different Waking Sands - the original that was the HQ of the Path of the Twelve was in Ul'dah (where the Hall of Flames now is), but for some reason that was never explained after the Calamity Minfilia relocated it to Vesper Bay, when the Path was amalgamated with the Circle of Knowing to form the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, which is probably also about the time Minfilia abandoned the policy of assigning partners to Walkers of the Path, hence the loss of the Path Companion.

Also the last that you ever heard from them is at the end of Future's Perfect in 1.0, that Minfilia had sent them to the ALC Guild to get medical assistance for the injuries Gaius inflicted on them. As the Path of the Twelve storyline was abandoned after that in favour of the 7th Umbral Era story when Yoshi took over as producer, it's no wonder our Companions have disappeared.

But I still support this! I want my miqo'te GLA to return! She still owes me that "dose of gratitude" she promised me after all.

I wish SE give us back our companions, we should be able to create them like a real character and we could call them like the chocobo for fighting at our sides.

We could give them gears, vanity etc. And SE could create some special quests/dailies/story/dungeons exclusively in duo with our companion ^^
