While Chocobo companion is something that isn't touched at all aside barding, i was wondering how would you feel if you could get a travelling npc character companion as a choice?

You could create one through Retainer service or get from GC Squadron, even one from Duty Support, maybe conjuring a spell or a puppet.
Battle wise it would be pretty basic with few skills but the reason is mostly for flavour and perphaps just feeling having someone that isn't your Chocobo.

Just some thoughts, i am no sure if they already talked about this and i do not expect to be implemented right away anyway
