Let Producer Matsui Know How He Should Catch Up on 2 Years!

[Siviard]

Hello again, Mr. Matsui!

Old Man Siviard here again, with another friendly suggestion that I would like to make on behalf of my fellow Puppetmasters all across Vana'diel.

This idea had actually been proposed last year in the Puppetmaster Job forum. Unfortunately, it seemed as if none of the Community Representatives caught it, or do not frequent the Puppetmaster Job section of the forum.

Trial of the Magians: Animators

All sorts of weapon types are able to be upgraded via Trial of the Magians. And although a Puppetmaster's AF "weapon" is their Animator, we are not given the option to obtain a base Animator to upgrade through Trial of the Magians.

Just as an example, a Puppetmaster chooses to upgrade an Animator through the "Fire Path" of elemental trials. Starting with a "base" Animator, he/she begins to work through the trials. At Level 99, the Puppetmaster completes his fully upgraded "Blazing Animator". The stats of which could be....

Blazing Animator
STR +11
Automaton: STR +11, Attack +22, Ranged Attack +22
Prevents "Overload" from Fire Maneuver

That's just one example. Imagine the other possible "Elemental Animators" that can be achieved as well. Perhaps even an "Empyrean Animator" for the truly dedicated Puppetmasters to build? The possibilities are vast, and will give Puppetmasters a section of Trial of the Magians all their own.

Once again, Mr. Matsui, thank you very much for your time and your consideration.
