Jobs and Classes: Ratios.

[MartaDemireux]

i know the interview you are talking about. he says the class beastmaster controls a mob for a short time, then it leaves and you have to get another mob to control, and he says the job summoner would summon a spirit which would follow it around. he tells us how the class beastmaster will work, and how the job summoner will work, (he also tells us how the chocobo buddy system will work) although we he says summoner is a job, he never says it is beastmasters job

he never says the 2 are related, he talks about 3 thing what they all have in common is the pet theme

although i think it probally will be, but i'm not assuming anything coz you just never know

First, sorry for the necrobump but when something is said in a definitive way I can't rest until I address it.

Second, they could be related:

Gamer Escape: There was a tame ability mentioned as well, so does that mean Beastmaster as well?

Yoshida: Yes. The foundation or system for using pets in battle is currently being made. So yes in the future there will be a beast tamer type of class. Again, it’s all about that adding one class means adding more jobs and all these extra things. So all these jobs won’t come at the same time. It’s all about the priorities, but it is on the list and we are making preparations for it.
Like one idea could be for example maybe having a beast tamer class and that job would be like a summoner type of job.

that told me . can't argue with that

(i did think summoner would be beastmasters job, i just didn't think it had been confirmed)

Well, still not confirmed but that's one of their plans. I personally think it would be best to do it with 2 different classes (tamer > beastmaster & evoker > summoner) but certainly see the difficulty in doing that. Always best to go the simpler way when it comes to coding and balancing haha.
