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?

No. I'm so tired of seeing the same thing over and over about summoner. Because old FFXI summoner was a manatank white mage for at least the first 3 years that it was in the game. People also overestimate how good the summons/effects looked. Major nostalgia goggles.

What a lot of people want for summoner is some iteration of the (generally overpowered) aoe nuker it is in other games in the series which is untenable in an MMO.

This is a bigger issue because "feel" is the same reason why some people are against things like Drk being a tank class or the addition of blue/red mage because they may not function exactly like they do in the rest of the series. Personally, I'd much rather them use classic jobs and take a spin on them so that they fit into XIV/the balance of the game rather than add a bunch of jobs with no history/connection to FF.

Cannot agree with this more! I really hope they stop adding "new" jobs and give us our old ones back first. FFXIV has yet to have ANY of the classes I mained in 11, save WAR which, here, is completely different.

This I must disagree with. FFXI's graphics still easily hold up to games today, and the avatars looked much, MUCH better than these terrible egi things.
