Mounts as Companions?

[Yorae]

Just a thought but who here would like to see some of our mounts fight along side us in combat like our Chocobo does? If so what ones would you like to see?

[Lanadra]

Ones that make sense. Like perhaps the Gabriel mount, or some of the collectables (Lanners, Wolves, Horsies).

My army of Namazu make perfect sense. They need to make squeaky noises when they get hit.

[Vahlnir]

Battle Tiger. Seems only logical with the armor and big, pointy teeth. It even has a large metal horn on its head to headbutt things with.

As I understand it SE did consider such an idea back during ARR's early development but only got around to implementing the Companion system with the default Company Chocobo, as they probaly considered expanding it to all mounts as utterly unworkable (especially as some mounts are literally nothing more than non-autonomous or sentinent vehicles, or mindless animals).

Sadly I don't think SE are going to do anyhting more with the Companion System, as the GC Squadron and Trusts have all but replaced it.

I don’t see how companions have been replaced by trusts or squadrons. One is for open world the other is for instanced content.

I've been wanting our Magitek Armor from ARR to be a Companion for SO LONG!!!! T-T

[ItMe]

I would adore fighting along side an unpiloted Whisper A-Go-Go <3

True, but SE are basically turning away from open-world content, and what there is which is otherwise expected to be run with player parties (A/S/SS rank Hunts), or they provide npcs to help you anyway (solo story battles), and what is left the existing Companion Chocobo is enough.

Would I like to see more Companions? Of course I do, I would love to have the old 1.0 Path Companions return, but again the Trust/GC Squadron has all but replaced them in instanced content and the Companion Chocobo in solo content (the later evidentally by Yoshi's own statement on the subject) so alas I do not see them returning.

I wish my mount would mount me instead.
