Bring Companions on GC Leves

[Grimmel]

Always found it weird that we couldn't bring our companions, that were given to us by our Grand Company, with us to do leves, for our Grand Company...

This statement, right here... It baffles me as well.

Companions aren't meant to make a party; they were intended as support to those that lack certain aspects in their jobs. For a Main Tank You have a healing chocobo to support you with survival. For a DPS you have a Tank/Healer Bird so you don't get pummeled by attacks and can keep yourself alive. And for a Healer You have the Tank/DPS bird so you don't get hit by a mob.

To me, a party is when you have other players in it; not when you have an AI controlled unit when you solo. So please SE; re-work it to where this is what Companions are; support units, not an extension of the party.

They are solo leves by design

Having 1 extra "party member" shouldn't affect the balance of the design by that much.
