It's Error Walker for me. I'd friggin love to be able to escort right about now.

And I actually love the new change of pace. Cry some more please

Yeah, I love MOST of EW, but, man, there are too many escort quests. Likely something they'll fix in future patches with enough feedback (I'd suggest allowing escort to use local Aethernet with you for city stuff/Teleport within zone. It really would make things substantially less agitating). But yeah, pressed that button too many times
Oddly there is no good reason they created these companion objectives to cause them to fail when moving too far away from them seeing as the Chocobo companion will follow you anywhere at any walk/run/sprint speed , and re-appear by your side after you get off a mount , or come out of a duty.
SWTOR has had fully functioning and far superior companion "ai" since 2011 , how did SqE make their version so inferior?





I loved them all, but they're commonly used in JRPGs and they show the commitment of the developers to making this more like an online single player Final Fantasy experience. They can make some improvements, like allowing them to teleport. I believe this was mentioned as something they would implement.
The trailing quests were a bit overused and could use some checkpoints, but I highly enjoyed those as well.
I enjoyed them. My husband and I did them together and it was mildly disconcerting to look from screen to screen, when suddenly "my" npc would appear to veer off away from me or just disappear, LOL
The only things I dislike about Escort quests is that you will have to run back to original locations if your queue window pops up.
I feel like SE should've added some sort of items to call your lost companion back to your side.




While it was an interesting experience they used the mechanic way too much and it got old pretty quick.


I loved all of them and hope we see more of them.
But then I was so entranced by watching the NPC come along I only had to start over once (it was Emet-Selch, I jumped on my Chocobo and was too fast for him) all other times I happily watched them following along and was hoping for more story irrelevant check marks to get comments from them.


Well.. if it was real escort missions with some danger (protect the NPC) that would be totally fine but I don't really get the point of dragging a NPC just to watch cut-scenes.
