One of the best things about Final Fantasy XIV is the fact that you can have a companion with you almost anywhere you go in the game. In the form of your pet Chocobo, your companion follows you everywhere and helps you in combat when not participating in duty and when not in certain locations. You do not summon your companion via an ability as you would with a minion but rather via the use of an object: Verts Gysahl. Unfortunately, your companion can only be summoned using this item and can only be with you thirty minutes after the summon. Having your mate with you is a big part of quest alone in Final Fantasy XIV so having a good supply of Gysahl Greens at all times is very important, not to mention they are also an important part of the education and training of your companion.
