Job Idea Revised: Puppetmaster (DPS)

[Kazrah]

So it looked interesting until comparisons were made to XI? Do you lose interest in everything as soon as it's compared to something you don't like?

Blah, stupid post limit. Anyway, to answer your question, no. I'm still interested in seeing a puppet-using job, but not if it means taking a past idea and trying to force it into this game.

Plus, just because I took inspiration and names for XI's Puppetmaster doesn't mean I want it to be a carbon-copy of it.

Does it have to be a melee using controls like that when no other previous puppet user did? There was Luca (sorta) using a hammer, Cait Sith using a megaphone not really being a melee combatant (neither was Reeve controlling Cait Sith) and then Lulu using her dolls for black magic spells.

Does it have to use a mammet when there have been other puppets in the game that are also Sharlayan? Like, oh, the first ever puppets in Final Fantasy?



I'm not attacking your concept, especially since you seem to have an understanding for the current dilemma of the pet control system. However, it's because of the examples listed that I see your concept as a carbon copy of the FFXI Puppetmaster.
