Sometimes I wish too I could see NPCs on the minimap. 😁
At the same time, I think having them hidden might be on purpose, to make the game a bit more interesting. It's a pleasant surprise to encounter one when exploring new territory.
At least, if this would be implemented there would have to be an exception for Amber (Jef's mother), because the quest is exactly to find her.

Possibly the other teleporting NPCs too, like the flower seller Rose and Mizuno.

Just a note: The web client currently displays the location of NPCs on the minimap. Not sure if this will persist in future versions.

I think displaying NPCs in minimap is fine, as long as in the circumstances mentioned above, they are hidden.

NPCs now support a "hidden" attribute which is used by the website to supress showing location. But it could also be used for determining if an NPC is visible on minimap.
