Tbh I question why we even have a friends list. I get the idea of having a 7th unit that isn't yours act as a second leader, but quite frankly it's pointless to have because the guest list has just as many units as your friends do. The only benefit of having anybody on your friends list is to get 100 FP instead of 50. OH THANK KAMI I WAS GETTING WORRIED I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SUMMON MORE R SAIBAMEN.

Furthermore, just like the OP mentioned, both friends list and guest list become crap whenever a new unit comes out. Just today I was trying to find a Super PHY leader (since it's Wednesday my dudes and INT events are going on), but who would've guessed, over half of the available leaders are SS3 Bardock. I had to settle for PHY VB as my Super PHY leader after refreshing at least 10 times.

I think one of two things needs to happen:

1. They add the search feature like Skereton suggested. They clearly have a list of players and their leaders somewhere that they already used for the guest list, so searching it shouldn't be tough to implement.

2. People can designate a particular unit as a "friend leader". The unit can't be used by you, but it could gain experience or something when other people use it. Maybe they could just give you a flat reward like a certain amount of zeni, medals, or HP orbs matching the type of the character. It's a useless system if you only have one good leader, but for the larger portion of late game players it would help immensely.

It's not a bad idea to make a page for Friend IDs and leaders as a workaround, but honestly I wouldn't use it because I'm not that consistent. I have every major leader in the game but which one I use depends on the event I'm playing. Probably changes like 4-5 times a day.
