Suggestion: Vanity Pets

[Veronica]

wow if we has a little moogle flying around us... even for a quest or event.. I think I'd kill myself from the cuteness.

[Kio]

I'd really personally prefer pets being exclusive to pet classes. It kinda ruins their uniqueness if just anyone can run around with a chicken following suite.
I'd like to see pets hold more meaning also, I don't just want that chicken on auto follow I want a fierce battle chicken to which I can control.

We'll already have the pet classes added in eventually and the buddy system soon, so a vanity pet just seems redundant to me.

I could never grok the idea of wanting some useless collection of polygons following me around.

Vanity pets, No thank you. Combat pets, Yes please.

[KiriA500]

(Yes, please.)

[Hycinthus]

(Yes, please.)

OMG PLEASE PLEASE SE. So cute I want!

Perhaps that could be the new BSM.
Finding eggs and raising them from babies.

Like a set of 3 you can switch out of at a barnyard.


COUGH COUGH MAKE A GOOD MANA GAME AGAIN COUGH.

Ah, I want a giant dodo. Haha.. How ferocious would such a sight be. Or one of those little black fluzzy things that carry stones outside Limsa Lominsa..

Do you have a problem with people having an opinion? It is my OPINION that it would cheapen the feel of my character being someone who's been through the world being destroyed if I had some fuzzy little thing following me. You're entitled to yours, but don't go attacking people when their opinion is different from yours.

You can have your opinion but I can have my char. No one said you'd be forced to have said pets. I never attacked you for your opinion but I did say it's my char and I can do with it what I want to. You have no right to say I can't do what I want to when it harms no one. Not everyone plays the rough and tough adventurer like you do. Think of DOH and DOL and come up with a reason they shouldn't have a pet. Not only this but being on a battle class and having a pet around when your not fighting anything would be kinda nice.

really? to bad you can't. To bad you already have a pet, a pet chocobo. You can call em any time you want, HEY, you can even call your pet goobuu if you got him. And when you can raise your own chocobos, you can feed and take care of your little bet chocobo. There are your vanity pets. Deal with it.

Do you think that they'll let us call our choco when we're in town and or on a DOH/DOL class? Honestly due to your past posts I don't think anyone will give you much thought anyways.

Mini darnus that hugs himself, bows then laughs maniacally, teleports around and shoots mini beams.

[Resheph]

egh.... I thought vanity pets were corny the first time I saw them playing guild wars and every time i saw them in another game after that I was just like "-_-;"

It's over done, and with it being confirmed that our chocobos will fight along side us in 2.0, would it really be necessary?

I'm not opposed to something SIMILAR to the idea of a vanity pet, a collectible aesthetic something-or-other for people to show off. But, I think people running around with tiny pet drakes and goobbues would get old fast. Not to mention frame rate killler, everyone afk in active mode in Uldah main strip with their animated pets hopping and bouncing about... lol
