I personally hope they do this for all pets some day.

I really want this implemented. This is a wicked idea that would give BST more connection with their pets.

Thank you! actually updated the OP a bit, Decided this pet might be much better as a 2hour pet. Similar to Alexander/Odin, you could summon it every 2 hours (for 30 minutes of Familiar).

Since the idea would be that the pets are strong offensively, and quite impressive.

A while back i had a debate with PDT/MDT on the Buffalo, But now that Pets have a PDT cap like all others, Its not that broken. So i fixed it.

I would like to name my personal Pet, and not choose from a list of prefab names. I really want a Buffalo named Earl.

Or the personal pet could simply be an Opo-opo, with with a multitude of traits/effects/abilities to choose from. This seems to fit better with a job ability, and I really want a monkey...

It would have to be limited somehow though- the idea is well thought out, but I still see this killing the usefulness of jugs. Maybe it could just be a personalized jug pet instead of a separate JA. That way you could could get a jug of this pet once a day or something, which would maintain balance very well.

Well, I updated the OP a few times. But i feel tying this Pet with our 2hour might be the best bet. It limits its use to 30minutes per 2hours (because its a very special pet), and it won't out-date Jugs that way. (well, Unless you're in abyssea getting 2hour chests).

But thats always why I suggest it have "Charges" on the jugs? like, for instance, when you receive your jug for the pet, it can only be used 3 times before you need to refill it with Brutus, thus even limiting it in Abyssea where you could get your 2hour recharged.

Those wouldn't need to be the only limitation, they're simply the only ones i can think of lol.

As for Opo-Opo... I'd prefer that to just be a real jug >_>, Would be nice.

Personally I'd just like it if Familiar let you save a charmed pet into a rare/ex jug that you could keep. They could re-add the current ability as a 10 minute ability that boosted your pet for 3-5 minutes. Familiar could boost the pet to within 0-2 levels of yours and bind them to the jug (think Chocobo Whistle), then you could just summon them up. It could assign a "job" based on the Mob family, i.e. Ladybugs would become THFs, etc.

Then you could just charm anything you wanted and save it as a "custom" pet. Then they could just bring back charm and expand the types of mob it works on (to include Buffalo, Gnolls, Piestes, etc) and just let you pick your favorite to be your "Familiar."

Then it'd just be a matter of them deciding what abilities your familiar would have access to, and how many charges they would be.

Great idea, I hope a SE rep pokes their head in and takes a look, would be nice to actually have a powerful pet the way we want it. Could also add in some Enmity+ / Enmity- with the attack / defence stats for interesting tanking/DD pets.

Good idea... Allow me to edit that in
