So no more pet jobs, eh?

[SoloWingMetatron]

I believe it's one of two things:
- The game engine is unable to handle comprehensive pet AI
- SE are unwilling to invest the funding/dev time needed to code a comprehensive pet AI

I personally believe it's more so the latter...based on the current trend of AAA studios forcing devs into unrealistic dev cycles resulting in broken and unfinished games. Furthermore, comprehensive pet AI has existed in MMO's since the very beginning! FFXI and WoW are perfect examples of this!...So I refuse to believe a game engine from the early 2000's can outperform a current day game engine when it comes to pet classes and pet AI!....Something just doesn't add up there...and if FFXIV's engine is really that difficult to work with then it's time to switch engines and begin the transition to FFXIV-2, because an engine like that is nothing but a hindrance and only a fool would continue to develop a game using such a thing!....

SMN/SCH were implemented because the community voted for a pet class. Therefore they should always be pet classes first and foremost!
