Anyone miss the old pet jobs from ffxi?

That wasn't a problem. That was a great feature.

A feature that was not handled very well at all. The point of perpetuation cost was to show the strain it had on our bodies to summon these powerful, even though fraction to the actual avatar, creatures. As you level up there should be ways for you to maintain that pet out a lot longer and strengthen it as you went up. There wasn't anything really until the 50's with elemental staves that let you keep Titan out longer.

I mean I did enjoy it and I liked how it fit into the story of the summoner..and it was awesome to let the pet die and I had no hate but they should of done more with the job in general.

I do miss the pet jobs in some ways, one of the major ways was how it could be a jack of all trades but a master of none, and it worked. I was able to help cure, caste haste on the party and then set up the LB or even MB with my pet. The way it is written on paper was very very exciting.

Puppetmaster just as fun, I could main heal xp parties going to 50 with my white mage attachments and subjob WHM, or I could assist in SC or MB. Even could make my own small SC. I think some of these can work in this game but they need to slow a lot of things down.

Perp cost was a problem, yes, but that's like accusing FFXIV of being a bad game now because of reasons from 1.0.

I miss the true solo beastmaster, not the jug bsts now running amok. Soloed to 75 as bst, led all bst god, divine might, and kirin fights. LordsoftheBeasts was, and in my opinion remains, the gold standard for pet job linkshells to emulate.

If you just look at Final Fantasy in general the Summoner summons went from being a spell that did one big attack then leave then it became a limted pet not until Final Fantasy XI did it become a permanent pet class. Beast Master and Puppet Master are the only real pet class in Final Fantasy while the Summoner is a Sorcerer. Most people don't understand the difference between Black Mage and Summoner. Summoner has innate magical abilities and learn t control so they don't cast a spell and nuke an entire city. Black Mage learns tha art of magic and practice spells. So from lore perspective Summoner can summon magical beings as well as use all Black and White Mage spells they just have to learn how to use them on command. Summoner is a powered up version of the Black Mage that focuses its magic on summons.
