SE please do this for Duty Support, it would be a great compromise.

So I am sure many people are aware that the Devs are adding the Duty Support system to all story related dungeons. But that does bring up the question of who will join us in said dungeons. For a few dungeons it's easy to see who will join us, as canonically they were there with us anyway. However, even the Devs have stated they might have to tweak some things to allow for our sudden companions appearance to make sense.

One of the dungeons that this issue affects is The Great Gubal Library. As I was talking to my FC yesterday, it was brought up that Y'shtola and Alphinaud, who are with you at this point, are told to stay behind with Matoya. So they shouldn't be able to enter the Dungeon with you. But then one person brought up a rather strange suggestion. That Matoya would send you off with some of her Poroggos. We all laughed at this, as it seemed absurd. But then I had a brilliant thought.

What if Matoya does send us in with Poroggos, but she alters them slightly, to make them battle ready. My "solution" was to have a group of Lalafells dressed up in the frog suit to mimic "altered" Poroggos, ready to fight. My FC laughed so hard, and said they never knew they needed this.

So what do people think? Do you wanna go into the library with a bunch of altered frogs? Is it something you never knew you needed until now, lol. Please SE make this happen. It's a perfect solution, that allows for some humor as well.

I once fought Alexander Prime in a pug group with seven lalafells in metallic frog suits (from different servers, no less, so it clearly wasn't a coordinated effort). If it's good enough for a steampunk time god, it's good enough for a library run.

I'd rather have Y'shtola and Alphinaud actually coming, but sure, frog teammate could be funny.

Not saying the Devs couldn't accommodate them joining us, but they would have to make a few story edits. This would allow almost no story edits and inject some nice humor.

Yeah, i can see how it would be easier to implement without having to screw up with the MSQ dialogues.
I'm ready to see how it will be handled in 6.2 with Alphinaud and Ysayle.

I'm waiting to see how the Aery will work out with Estinien. The fight with Nidhogg will need to be changed so he can actually participate.

I bet they will just leave the eye there, weakening Nidhogg without Estinien holding it. You'll have to protect the floating eye instead of Estinien.

They could also just size-up a poro rogo to be a bit more visible. As for the aery, theyve already said that it was adjusted, just not told us how.

[TaleraRistain]

I could definitely see that. Because they do attempt to make who goes with us make sense and it was rather funny that Matoya made them stay behind to do chores. They could easily change that, but it would lose a bit of charm to do so.

I suppose we could rely on our trusty Adventurer's Guild groupmates there, too. But I like the idea of Matoya sending poroggos or brooms to help much more.
