[QoL Suggestions] - Minions, Party Finder, House Purchasing

[Thortok2000]

These are just a few quality of life suggestions, nothing major, just little tweaks that would make the game more fun.

- Minions should be summonable anywhere, at any time.
--Even when chocobo companion is out.
--When in a city, when chocobo companion is 'out.'
--While mounted.
--While on a flying mount, if the minion can also fly or ride shoulder. (To go with this, a 'summon random flying minion' button could be added.)
--When in a solo instance.
--When in a group instance/raid.
--Anywhere I haven't thought of.

They should be like titles, they're only there for vanity, we should be able to have them at any time. If there's concerns with clutter, add a UI option to hide minions.

-Party Finder queue notification, when 0, should not display.

Repeatedly being told that there's still 0 parties is not very helpful.

-When Party Finder queue notifications are enabled (or make this a new, separate option), receive an instant notification whenever a new party is created that matches the search conditions.

Reason being, the interval for the notification message is so long that sometimes a party is created and filled up (or almost filled up) before I even know it's there. An instant notification when it's first made would be awesome. Bonus points if you could create multiple search conditions and then be notified any time any of them are met.

-Remember Party Finder search conditions between sessions.

Enough said.

-Allow some form of queue for house purchasing.

I came up with a fully fleshed out idea while back (last patch to add wards), but there should be some way to 'wait in line' for a house, even if it takes days/weeks/months. It's only fair, more fair than the current system, and reduces/removes a lot of stress in the purchasing of a house. Also, the existence of the line, and its length, would give the developers an exact idea of exactly how much housing demand each server has.

Personally don't want to see people's minions in dungeons/trials/pvp fights, a distraction/clickable I don't really want (maybe an option in game to hide during DF?) - but I think it would be awesome to see your flying minions hang out with you in the air~

+1 For the flying minions, and besides resources or coding on Chocobo + minion I don't see why not there either.

[Thortok2000]

I agree that those who want to prevent clutter should be able to make minions not clickable, or hide them altogether. But I'd personally leave them on, they make a great way to vanity.

I wholeheartedly agree--I've always wondered why you couldn't have your minion out while your chocobo is summoned.

Throw in some additional companion options while you're at it devs(I really, really, REALLY want my Couerl and Elbst to battle with me). ;D
