Beastmaster: Can it work?

Given the struggle they have had with SMN, I'm not really sure how they would implement beastmaster. Maybe as a limited job like BLU? Though people seem to hate that concept so I see beastmaster as an unlikely job to be added to the game.

I think the reason they've struggled with pet classes, is the Dev team overthinks it. It seems to bounce from extreme to extreme. Either you have no control over the pet and it doesnt really do anything or its micromanaged. Honestly I didnt see anything wrong with the version of summoner, where you had a carbuncle or egi out, it did a basic attack every so many seconds and had 1 or 2 bigger abilities that you could command it to do as OGCDs. To me they have tried to either overcomplicate the job or water it down to nothing.
