There's actually a hidden NPC in Western La Noscea that provides two minions in exchange for items - but unfortunately it isn't embraced elsewhere.
FFXIV has some of that, it's just they tied it to fates. Orchestrion rolls, barding, housing items, minions, cards and more. It's great that it's there, but I think fates have worn out their welcome at this point. It would be nice if they took a page from FFXV's dungeons and did some neat things like open up secret areas depending on the date/night cycle with mazes and such.
