As an aside, it's always fascinating to me that despite the development team's own habit of adding quality of life changes with each new content patch there's always a handful of posters quick to shoot down suggestions based around quality of life features.

I generally like to have my chocobo companion out when I'm doing a new batch of MSQ's, doing FATE's, participating in hunts and when tackling treasure maps.

It's not a huge pain to grab some gysahl greens from a vendor, or to use them to summon our chocobo companion. With that said, it isn't particularly thrilling and could easily be streamlined to free up an inventory slot by reducing the mechanic to a simple summon and withdraw feature that is tied solely to action commands rather than an item.

If more people get into the habit of using their chocobo companions maybe it could even lead to the open world experience being a little bolder.
