I do hope they implement NPC buddies that are smarter than our Chocobos though. I like the idea, and I would love to have more uses for my retainers (going off of what I wrote), but I know there are problems with implementing it.
I actually remember enjoying having my Npc companion in FFXI although I hope if they do it it doesn't take as long to level as the chocobo does. I've been working on level 12 for 2 weeks at an hour or so a night..

as far as thenpcs being smarter than chocobos, well that wouldn't be hard since the chocobos are freakin idiots
