Anyone miss the old pet jobs from ffxi?

Not asking for changes, but I do miss my wyvern and summons from ffxi. I know Drg and Smn are powerful dps currently but ever now and then I miss my old ffxi smn and drg. How about you guys?

I too miss some elements from XI's SMN, visually the Egi should resemble the Avatars/Primals more.

I miss Beast Master and Puppet Master from Final Fantasy XI

I was really excited for summoner to come out when I was in beta, until I got to see what it actually was. I was really disappointed. It just doesn't feel like a 'summoner' to me.

I did end up enjoying it enough to play it as my first job to 50, so the job itself is fine, but the disappointment that it wasn't what I was hoping for it to be never went away.

As a point of reference, my all time fav FF char was Rydia the Caller, so when I heard 'summoner' that's where my mind went.

I thought I was the only one. I'd really love it if they brought back Courier Carrie and Beastmaster somehow—especially if the pet was integral to the classes playstyle.

"Anyone miss the old pet jobs from ffxi? "

Every. Single. Day.

I miss BST so bad. And "real" summons instead of digim... I mean "egis".

Yes ; ; I main smn in xiv...but it doesn't feel like a summoner to me :(

The egi are very underwhelming D:

Nope, I'm happy that the summoner them from XI didn't get into XIV.
I do miss beastmaster and puppetmaster.

People say they miss XI's Summoner but I don't think they realize how lackluster and horrible imbalanced they were compared to other jobs. They were a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none who literally couldn't do anything with out a avatar out and were outdone by every job that had a specialized function. Nuking and Elemental Damage? Black Mage trumped them. Physical Damage? Monk and Ranger. Healing? White Mage. Buffing? Bard and Corsair. Debuffing? Red Mage, Dancer, and Geomancer.
I think Puppetmaster and Beastmaster were the best two representations of pet-users in XI.

You guys really need to make a "FFXI Megathread" to thin out the individual threads.
