granted on the PS4 the pet XHB is not much an issue when you enable the pet hotbar and disable its XHB. but this is a compromise. and not a good one either. and then there is still the issue of having to command your pet at the end of each battle so it don't attacking things you never target or instruct it to. or so it don't randomly wondering off to nowhere and picking up a mob along the way.

Pet AI is very buggy. i hope Square Enix intends on improving pet behavior and control. :/
