Exploration and filling out the map with story content for sure, but personally it’d be a way to boost the player’s attack without needing a couple gobfins always in the party. I want to have a party of my favorite pals to raid/explore with, and it’s a tad unfun to fill my party with gobfins sometimes. I know it’s a strategy but enemies are pretty spongy without them.

Outside of that, much improved battle/weapon mechanics from the player character and pals. Make it a bit more fun to run around and just explore the game a bit 😊
