Endwalker quest that feature escorts that dont know /beckon are AWESOME. The fact that we can talk sometimes even better. I hate fetch/back and forth quests, even if its SquareEnix method of time sink and exploration.

Supe up the NPC to actually assist with fight and heal, temporarily and I'd love the quest that much more. I can even imagine the "bag the enemy" and "weaken the enemy with potion" quest if the NPC help while I fought and did the bag and weaken actions.

Heck, Company squadron training would be cool too.

Just a thought.
