As a LNC i personally don't want the pet. As many have mentioned I would prefer the player stay powerful instead of having to be gimped just to have a pet that it itself will most likley not be all that useful.

Many seem to want the Wyvern pet simply because it would be "cool" or because FFXI had it and both of those are poor reasons when you consider the same people who are wanting the Wyvern pet would be the same people to complain when the player was weakened to balance out having a pet.

Also another thing is that I don't want FFXIV becoming more like XI then it already has. I love the idea of the job names coming back(as those names have always been part of Final Fantasy and not just XI) but I don't want the jobs themselves being copy and paste from XI. In the past Lancer/Dragoon was a job that had alot of different jumps and I would like to see that explored much more then just throwing a pet at the job. I want the jobs to be more interesting and diverse then they were in XIV.
