[dev1002] FFXIV Beast Mode

[Karvapeikko]

I like the idea of morpher/transformer job. Reading through posts, I had some ideas on some topics:

Elemental transformation
I can see this to fit with Elementalist job, if it ever comes, as 2hr ability(or whatever similar they're going to introduce). I don't currently have any clear visions about it, but feel free to add to it.

Beastmaster
I'm hanging between wanting it to be a job or a class, but definitely we need one. Maybe I'll choose to favor job route as all classes must have funny names in FFXIV :P. Also I don't think there needs to be a link between BST and Morpher unless job > adv.job is implemented.

Morpher
I would see this to be fit to be an alternative to BST branching from same class. I must confess, I'm utterly confused about specifics for this kind of job. Like skills outside being morphed, how to gain morphs and morphing durations to name a few.

Just some points to feed the conversation. And of course everything is depatable.

I agree. Either way it ends up we def need Pet jobs in FFXIV. They are a necessity :3

I like the rest of your points about Morpher and Transformation. Elemental Transformation would be very awesome: I think if we see more people liking this idea we will have a better chance of having a great job/class of this type!

The Elementalist would transform into humanoid form of the Primals (Ifrit, Shiva, etc.)?
THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!!!!

Let's stay positive and on-topic so we can see this implemented into the game guys and gals :3

A REHASH up to this point:

We are discussing:
- Pet Classes/Jobs
- Classes/Jobs that have a main mechanic that allows the player to fight via transforming into a Humanoid Elemental OR Beast form.
- We have sourced: FF Tactics Advanced > Morpher, FF Tactics Advanced > Hunter, and FFXI > Beastmaster

MAIN IDEAS POSTED SO FAR:
- The use of the Job Morpher as a advancement of Beastmaster
OR
- The use of the Job Morpher as a advancement of Summoner

SOME OTHERS HAVE SUGGESTED:
- Morphing could be a 2 hour type ability for Summoner
