    Considering that we could use the aesthetic variety, I don't see this as a bad thing. I'm sure there's people out there that want to tank but see the whole "has to wear plate armor" thing as a turn off.

    The problem is that BST pets would either be all the same in conjunction with a taming system (to eliminate false choices, since the person that likes Boars would be pissed if the "best" BST pet for tanking is a turtle), or have to be determined by the story. There's no avoiding it; some part of the concept would have to be adjusted.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
