Some players take great pride in dressing up, glamouring, and outfitting their Personal Retainers. It's a shame that only the Player him/herself is able to see or interact with their Retainer NPCs. Have you thought about allowing players to make their NPCs either companions that can be summoned (Similar to how helper NPCs were in both Final Fantasy XI, and Final Fantasy XIV 1.0) , or make them visible and able to sell Bazaar goods as they were back in 1.0?
