I really hope SE will expand upon Adventuring Fellows sometime in the near future. They deserve a major buff in capacity and aesthetics.
Expand their wearable armor capacity, add more job traits (dual wield please!), add ranged weapons like guns and bows, add and expand upon their "class" system, maybe even add nukes. There's so much that can be done to make them more useful and fun without breaking the game.
Would make them too similar to Automatons. LEAVE PUP STUFF ALONE! :<

PUP needs improvements that stretch far beyond the aforementioned.
But you have to admit that adventuring fellows have paled in comparison to the immense improvements player characters have received over the past couple of years. All I really want to see is diversity, not so much a "buff" to put them in line to other pet-like functions.
As much as I like the idea of adventuring fellows there are may things I would want to see SE work on before them.

Oh, this isn't to say there are more pressing matters at hand, but at some point I'd like it to be on their roster of updates and improvements. NPC fellows are one of my favorite gameplay aspects to FFXI, so it is very fun for me to level, quest, and improve them. I just wish we had more to work with for them.

/sigh
I wish I could have gone to the 25th Anniversary show in London last year. The show in Chicago doesn't even remotely compare to the elegance, grandiose, and more festive and professional nature of the show in London. Not to mention Hironobu Sakaguchi was in attendance there.



I think a lot of it had to do with the venue and location.
Comparing the Royal Prince Albert Hall in London to the Akoo Theater in Rosemont is like comparing The Ritz to Joe's Crab Shack.

PUP would need a huge buff to be applicable in the situations presented to us today. That's obvious and I've said it before.

What I was getting at is how similar to an Automaton that would actually make NPCs. It would just seem so similar to the point of PUP not really having anything special anymore.

Just for the record, making a class relevant to current content and having a separate component of gameplay become increasingly similar to a niche aspect of one class is a separate thing entirely.

Honestly though, I never really played PUP, so I don't really know what separates an automaton from current day NPCs aside from choosing their class/frame.

Using the automation is like using an actual puppet, maneuvers represent whatever the thing used to control a puppet is called and you manipulate them to make your puppet do what you want. IE certain WS will be used with certain maneuvers active, or with a dark maneuver active it will use enfeebles over nukes (if I remember right)

Interesting. I can see how giving too much function to NPCs would shed some limelight off the concepts of PUP, but frankly, the AI given for NPCs and the narrow limitations of their three class branches would pose little to no threat to PUP's uniqueness, even if introduced to ranged weapons and nukes.

I still recall scraping my knee and having cure 5 casted on me, subsequently followed by "Tee hee, I'm all out of mana!". Or my NPC using weapon skills all whilly nilly and using particularly useless ones like Dark Harvest or Raiden Thrust.
