[ HMMM ] BST= Beastmaster as next class ... ALL WILL /bow

[Quesse]

This is a little old but as far as I know Beastmaster was confirmed and is coming eventually

Gamer Escape: It was mentioned that players will be able to call primal when they’ve defeated them. Does that mean we’ll see Summoner and Beastmaster types of classes and jobs?

Yoshida: We call tell you that we’ve decided to put a Summoner class in the game. I want to be a Summoner.

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.

Note the talk about the 'tame ability'

If they add BST it will simply be a melee DPS with a pet that does it's own thing that you can summon an infinite amount of times exactly like summoner pets. They will never add the amazingly fun beastmaster of FFXI 1.0 to another game again ; ;

I don't know how it would work - especially in dungeons but you can't have BST without tame. And Yoshi specifically mentioned a 'beast tamer' class.
