Ah yes, the path companions. I rarely think about them, but mine always made me uncomfortable. I'm a female person playing a female miqo'te, and I chose a female miqo'te as my path companion... Well, she spent the entire time mercilessly flirting with me. (Your path companions had different personalities depending on their origin.) I suppose it's sad they died in the calamity, but we had to lose more people than just Louisoix... I like the way the chocobo companions function better, anyway.
