This, I want a beastmaster job so bad, I want it to be in such a way that you can capture any monster you want and use them in battle (Except bosses, etc) And to totally redesign summonses, they suck DX

I didn't really do much with Beastmaster in FF XI, but it was cool from the little I tried and a lot of what I saw in the open world while in exp groups. It'd be great to see it again and see what SE does with the class in XIV. I haven't heard anything about it though but we will see what the future brings.

Beastmaster sure is a weird way to spell Dark Knight

I'd love to see this return as well, along with Samurai.

SMN as it is now isn't bad, I just don't care for how the egis look.

i'd love a BST class. It'd fit my character perfectly, as its not a magic based pet class. Melee range pet class maybe?

[Fluttersnipe]

Well they said the Gun class won't be what we think it is, so it could potentially be a hunter style class with a pet.

Not sure if I'd like beastmaster in this game. Part of the appeal for beastmaster in XI was because the world was dangerous and beastmaster could tackle it solo, alone in the world without a care.

I had this memory in post-abyssea (came back to mess around while waiting for 1.x patches and ARR)..me and my friend were trying to kill this orc notorious monster in davoi. I think it was supposed to be lvl 60 and we were lvl 95 with starting abyssean gear. I was a drg/blu and he was some sort of drk/??? and we were able to dispatch most of the lvl 60-70 normal mobs in there (in XI, same level mobs can wipe the floor with same level solo players easily). Anyway, we had trouble killing the blm orc boss because he had like 3-4 normal orcs surrounding him and his spell can hit for almost all of my hp in one cast. We tried pulling the boss away from the abandoned house he was camping in but we couldnt get it to work (zone out to reset him and reclaim him while he was back so we can fight without his adds).

While we were devising on what to do, we saw a BST with the same gear as ours and asked if she can help us. Turned out that the BST was japanese and couldnt communicate well with us but she joined us anyway. So as we were trying to communicate with her on what we're about to do and how we should go about it from outside the abandoned house the orc was in, her sheep (nursery nazuna) suddenly sped off into the house. The BST just sat there with us while I was communicating with my DRK friend about what just happened. We couldn't see anything from outside and was only able to use the battle log to grasp what's happening inside the house and we weren't sure if we even should run in to 'help'. Several minutes later, the sheep came out of the house..triumphant. That thing just went to solo 4 lvl 60-70 orcs and one orc boss that could easily two shot us and the BST wasnt even outgearing us! We thanked her and went our separate ways but that sure did a number on our morale.

Anyway, the monsters in eorzea are dumb and simplified (that monster type vs monster type chart would probably be gone just like elemental wheels). They're also weak unlike in XI (I went as a lvl 95 blue mage to fight a lvl 70 flayer alone to learn its spell. I needed to see his thunder spell to learn it and I tried preparing myself for it and picked out the safest place to fight it so I can run if things go bad...I saw it once and I ran out and never came back. It dealt 95% of my hp and I almost died zoning out and I didnt even learn the spell! The trek to the place was still pretty dangerous as it is and dying would have costed me my exp!) The only challenge around in eorzea would be 'super' boss fates and a SMN could probably be able to solo most of them. BST in arr would just be a melee dps with smn pets.
