Can we give the developers a round of applause for the companion changes?

I know getting it earlier would have been better, but after hearing it might have taken a ton of work to get it implemented, I'm glad we have it now and we can go forward with this amazing change.

For those that don't know already, your chocobo doesn't count as a party member now and acts like a summoner pet. Allowing you to queue for things and join parties without dismissing them.

it's my favorite QoL change. It just feels so natural.

I haven't actually tried it yet though I have ment to, so question: When you go into a duty does the companion auto-withdraw or do they stay around once you return?

Not sure, I would imagine they go away. but they might wait for you

It stays. you don't see it in your party list, but once you get out of the duty, it reappears. So you won't have to resummon.

it does the same thing whenever you get on a mount as well.

The only downside: No minion at the same time =(. But it was already like that, so i can live with it.

@___@ I feel so trained to put my chocos away, its taking some getting use to, but I am so happy cause I loooove my chocobro~

While I feel like its 2 years bit late and never use my chocobo anymore (whats the reason with everything at 60?) I welcome it for new players

Agree with OP. It's a really nice change, kudos for all the effort in making it possible! Now if only we can summon the chocobo from the stable when it's not under training... I don't like to have it empty but we can't summon it while it's stable. T-T

I don't know the reason why SE didn't make this change in early 2.X, because it is extreme obvious

Honestly probably my favorite thing from patch. For all the little odd jobs and such, just having that extra damage whenever is....nice. Yeah, was overdue but better late than never,
