I hope Beastmaster doesn't get added. Another FF already had it there and was the best version of it. And since this game doesn't like borrowing anything from it's older sister other than assets, this version will probably be worse.
Like a Mammet Master class :3 that would be pretty wicked, and every "weapon" is a different Mammet, kinda like Lulu in FFX had a doll as her weapon.
Otherwise, I'm not sure WHY people are saying issues with SMN/SCH are why they won't make another pet class, the thing with those two is they're combined, and that's why they have issues. Making a completely new pet class would allow them to optimize the system.
Now I would LOVE Beastmaster, but Beastmaster has thee same issue as Blue Mage where it's hard to maintain the integrity of what the class is within the confines of how jobs are in FFXIV. Both classes are heavily dependent on going out and capturing/experiencing different monsters in the game. It is very not casual friendly and it would be worse because people would be hating on the class players for not having such and such skill/pet. The developers have talked about this being an issue with Blue Mage and why it is unlikely to be brought into the game, and Beastmaster gets the same boat.
That said, the Mammet Master idea wouldn't be bad, and there is Final Fantasy precedence... but if they do Beastmaster, the issues would have nothing to do with SMN/SCH but more to do with how to define the beast to be commanded and how to make it seem Final Fantasy still.
Egi glamor just didn't make it in time for patch 3.4, and is now scheduled for patch 3.5. Likewise remake of exploratory missions was shifted to 3.5. While there will be a lot of job adjustments in 4.0, there's no indication of completely redeveloping SMN into a new job. Egi system is staying.
I miss the time where summons were big attacks with 30 sec cutscene and not pets.
I've posted a lot about a pet class and what I'd want beastmaster to be in quite a few threads. But I'm going to say that at this point I'm fairly convinced that SE has abandoned the pet system entirely outside of (possible) glamours. If we do end up getting another pet class that places more emphasis on the duo working as a team rather than the pet being what pets are in all other MMO's (a glorified DoT) nowadays? I will be genuinely surprised.
