Perhaps there might be some confusion with the Ranger job in FFV, as although it was not BST per say it was capable of calling on woodland animals to deal damage to enemies (maybe some utility too?). The Ranger naturally used long range weapons like Bows, of course V also had BST which definitely did use Whips but having two jobs using animals was quite interesting. FFX-2 also had your pet attack for you as opposed to the character actually welding a weapon to do it, but mostly in the FF series they had close/medium range weaponry. What happens in other IPs is irrelevant though.
