About pets

[Alcide]

I know it's too early to discuss about new jobs/classes, but the previouse team stated clearely that a pet/summoning class wouldn't fit FFXIV's battle system... well since we won't have that battle system anymore is it still the case or can we look forward for a pet class in the future?

actually they said pet classes aren't the best choise on a fresh game since the game itself need core adjustments, and pet classes are difficult to balance in a normal environement. that said, since the game is broken we'll don't see a pet class for a while

I know it's gonna take a lot of time, what i wanted to ask is if the new battle system is gonna be more "pet friendly" than the previouse one... if we can look forward for a well made pet class in the future or if we just have to get the idea out of our mind ^^'

I have a dog and a cat. Their favorite FF character is Angelo!

Wait, what were we talking about?

This seems like a good spot to drop some information that we recently heard from Yoshida... He mentioned that the dev. team is currently thinking about two different approaches.

The first is pet-related content where players can raise chocobos and other mounts that anyone can ride. The second idea is centered around pets that can only be utilized by specific jobs.

However, we won't be picking just one concept to implement. Instead we will be looking into the specifications so that we can implement both. However, as we are not yet at the stage where we can disclose when the implementation timing will be. We hope that the current chocobo implementation planned for 1.19 will hold you all over in the meantime.
