We definitely need a Puppetmaster Job in this game!

Pup was my main in ffxi and i would love to see it added to ffxiv.

Although it was very annoying watching Gadget cast poisona on me when i had 10 hp left before they did the ai update to the automaton it was still enjoyable

If we do get a puppetmaster job, it will not be the same as it was in FF11 at all. Developers have said time and time again that they are making the game as different as possible from FF11. It will probably end up being more akin to an "Allagmancer" that can summon mechanical summons like I suggested in my Class/Job thread:

Umm.. you maybe overstating things there. Imma need to see a quote where they say 'as different as possible'.

We have the same jobs, the same races, many of the same beastmen (obv things like cactuars are in every FF, but non Mamool Ja), the armoury system bears more than a striking resemblence to FFXI's job system.

As different as possible? Hardly

The pet controls in this game are worse than any other game I've played, so I can't really get excited about more pet classes.

We have the same jobs

Ninja isn't an eva tank.

Didn't you hear? It wasn't in XI either. We were just playing it wrong all these years ;D

It's unlikely FFXIV's Ninja will even allow one second of eva tanking due to "Playing it wrong." ;D

Naruto is that way ----->

Jokes aside though I think they already said that they don't want to make a "pet" centric class when people asked for this for SMN because it would be kinda difficult to control the pets in some of the fights and it would take a lot of micro to be able to play it right or something like that.

They couldn't even make Summoner a proper pet class, you think they even have a hope of hell in managing PUP?

Yeah, like they patched out Titan tanking Ramuh.

This game needs at some point to start getting complicated, to start allowing players to 'break it' slightly through unforseen consequences. They need to start letting some control slip to players. I don't want to hear about the party that managed to squeeze enough DPS to beat x boss. I wanna hear about the one SCH killing him over 4 hours, or the SMN duo pet-swapping to a win. If it's ridiculously easy, then patch it out. If it showed skill and cunning let it stand.
