There are a couple of different Animators on PUP, and the only known difference between them is stats (the later ones have some DEX on them).

The bell shouldn't exist if there aren't different ones. They don't need the bell to restrict spells from subjob, they can do it without that. I'm sure there will be an AF bell and probably some stupid hard to get one that does nothing from an endgame event, similar to what happened with PUP.
