So, SE says they're considering giving us a unit of GC agents to take into dungeons instead of players, allowing you to level them up in the process. How about taking it a step further: give us a new companion, a novice adventurer that we can take under our wing. Under our direction they will gain levels in their class, and can be taken into dungeons along with the GC unit (although probably not with other players, at least until the chocobo can).

I've just been wondering when we'll see another companion, and the announcement of having soldiers under your command made me think of this.
