[Suggestion] Class Specific Minions

Got the idea from this thread and wanted to expand on it.

Arcanist - Carbuncle
Thaumaturge - Meteor
Conjurer - Butterflies
Gladiator - Lion Cub
Marauder - Bear Cub
Lancer - Wyvern
Archer - A lute in the shape of a spoon
Puglist - A ghostly train that trembles in fear when targeted

P.S. If you have a better idea for minion please feel free to add.

At first I thought this thread said "mounts" and the idea of a Black Mage riding around on a meteor made me crack up laughing. XD

I'm glad I wasn't the only one...

Thinly veiled "Dragoons should have pet wyvern" thread.

I like this idea, although I'm hoping wyvern won't just be a minion ;) Sorry TheCurls. Otherwise I think it would be good incentive for people to level different jobs.

I don't even play DRG in this game or ever did in 11, but even I miss seeing them.

DRG are Dragon killer...

People seem to forget DRG in FFXI were also dragon killers. The PC's wyvern was special, and there's no legitimate reason it couldn't work again. That said, I love variety, and I love minions. Something similar, even with different critters, sounds grand.

I didn't say it was a bad thing. I'm just calling it for what it is.

Actually the idea came from people wanting carbuncle back but I figured why stop there and give every class/job a minion

I have mixed feelings on this. I know one character for everything is the typical way to play this, but it kinda feels like it'd be another sort of slap in the face to those of us who like to play more than one. It'd be impossible to collect all the minions on a single character without having to level the same jobs multiple times, which is incredibly tedious. I'm all for more minions, but maybe tie them to something other than class?
