Hella ignorant but i'll answer. Beastmaster is a class in the Final Fantasy universe NOT bound solely to FFXI. Don't forget that SE made FFXIV mirroring FFXI to ease the transition of players wanting to make the switch. Beastmaster would be an awesome job in FFXIV. Melee attacker with a TRUE pet companion, not this SMN bullshit we have now.

I would like them to bring dancer to ffxiv. Does that mean I want to go play ffxi again heck no. I just would like to see it again cause I love the job. I don't think just because a job was in ffxi that this game needs to be like ffxi just to bring a job that was in it to it.

Original quotes are that way <---.

That aside, drawing parallels to the only other MMO in the franchise is natural. It was also hugely successful, so obviously it did plenty of things right (unlike FFXIV 1.0). There's no shame in repeating a formula if it makes for a fun experience overall.

To be fair, it was only so successful because of the time period it came out in. The large majority of things it did would never fly nowadays.

It did plenty of things right for its time. That time has passed.

BST was certainly my favorite job from XI so I would definitely like to see it brought over to XIV as a DD. As long as the play style is different than XIV's version of SMN, then I will be happy to give it a go. For weapon choice, I would vote for a whip.

This is actually a great idea in my opinion. It also fits well into the current style of FF14. Your basically given a Mimic as a pet, which can in turn become any monster you manage to tame/mimic with it. Also for the first guy who immediately trash talked my suggestion, I have in fact never even played FF11. I have always just had a great love for tamer classes in FF, and I simply seen they had one in 11 and figured beast master was the most appropriate name.

Hey...this could actually be fun...

Wavekin I think.

Now I am imagining a broken but funny op beastmaster sprinting through a dungeon and charming every mob along the way, then sicking them all on the boss for a huge zerg kill.

I dunno...They seem to not know how to do pet job's well.
I'm all in for more new fun stuff but...
See SMN. >_>

Beastmaster has been seen in other FF Titles, it's decently popular.

Also... generalized/stereotyping blanket statement, much?

Don't mind me. At the time I was royally pissed from multiple failed ramuh ex runs.
