    Let's go with it ain't broken but it could be better instead.

    Also, yes to scion companion, so i can give them a nice dirt nap by aiming the enemy attacks towards them. After their thousandth ignominious death at the hands of weak overworld critters, i could be at peace with their plot armor immortality. In fact, each and every one of the scions dying a thousand times at the hands of that one posters spirit animal would be equally awesome and hilarious.

    Better how? Being able to fully cheese and survive S ranks and world fate mobs? Those are the only things they're not good for.

    Leveling up our Companion Chocobo could be faster.

    Our buddies are great and awesome. I spent a lot of time (years) getting mine to rank 20 and making sure I properly use Favorite Feed to maximize its potential.

    But when it comes to using my chocobo for things like Fates or B-rank Hunts using him for anything other than Healer his performance is just massively underwhelming.

    Free Stance with an Enmity +2 buff still means he can't hold aggro and he won't heal himself until he's already dead since his healing doesn't activate until he's low HP.

    Tank Stance he can hold aggro but bosses flail him to pieces quickly unless I'm playing a healer, or a tank with healing which again feels like it defeats the purpose of using him at all for tanking. He takes more damage than me and eats every major ability which is especially bad against bosses who use debuffs like one kill his accuracy, eliminating his potential for holding aggro, or nastier attacks that poisons/paralyzes/the whole shebang (Morbol - Bad Breath attacks), he has no hope of avoiding those attacks and the debuffs last just as long on a player when hit.

    Healer Stance is great, with or without the +2 healing potency buff, and even if he stands in AoE's i've had no issues pulling hordes of mobs in Fates and surviving.

    Attacking stance is OK. He doesn't match the WoL potency of damage which feels fine to me. He's more like extra potency auto attacks but that's generally the only other thing he's good for, aside from healing.

    In general I'd like to see his free stance/tanking roles improved on at a bare minimum.

    If I give my chocobo a +2 enmity buff, he should be able to get and hold aggro, and at the very least prioritize his tank stance abilities even if he's in Free Stance.

    I just feel our dear companions need much more love than that though and I'd be very happy to hear if the community or Devs agreed or disagreed and what your thoughts about them are. It was a major time sink for me to grind and get him to rank 20, and with all the Fate Grinding needed for Bicolor Gemstones, or even just leveling a new job, they could be more relevent than they're being allowed right now.

    Thank you for reading.
    Perhaps! But I'd also love to see FATEs giving more interesting things, like rare drops, more than 1 quest worth of XP, and the likes...

    Because what could be the use of a reworked and better chocobo if we don't really have a place to use them? The rare hunts seem to be pretty much a very limited occasion, plus there's always a train after them.

    I wish. It's one of those systems they just completely abandoned. They didn't even bother adding more levels for them through the expansions.
    I remember in ARR we imagined all sorts of fancy things for them, like a chocobos dungeon; now it's a system most people even forget about. I know so many people who have been playing for years and never bothered to level it at all, or parked it in the stables at level 1 and left it there.

    I would rather be able to pull one of my other mounts as a fighter for me... eg. The Centurio Tiger... as in, in general mounts that is duty based to one way or another GC stuff.

    i think it would be cool to have more than a chocobo as a companion. Add another one or two to start.

    I think we should be able to summon them as minions with all our customizations, usable in cities and miniature like a minion.
