I like the new patch that pops up a warning about removing you from duty registrations if you activate your chocobo companion.

My suggestion, however, is that we be ALLOWED to summon our companion while registered in the Duty Finder without cancelling our registration - with the understanding that he will be dismissed automatically once the duty starts. This would allow us to keep playing using our companion while we wait for the queue on the Duty Finder (often up to an hour). When you register for a duty, if you have your chocobo out already, a window could simply pop up and tell you that if you continue, your companion will be automatically dismissed once the duty begins.

Thanks
