Pets are cool!

So I have a lot of friends who play WoW and besides all the different mounts they get they can also get little NPC pets.

I have like this idea and think it would be really cool to have some pets in FFxiv.
Now these pets would be just for fun of course, like they are in other games, but they could do some really cool things with it.

Like have a baby Chocobo or a tiny Ifrit to follow you around. Maybe take some things from all final fantasy lore and make them pets.

I know lot of you will think some useless NPC following you around would be lame, but I think it's cool and if you agree with having pets post your ideas!
