It is time to get rid of them SE...

[Dyvid]

I for once would like for a real pet class to exist that people who want a pet class can go to, so that FF14 summoner can get rid of egis and continue on his route to be much more a SMN the likes of other final fantasys. But with tweaks to adapt it to an MMO system, like Bahamut and Phoenix were set up.
There is a whole fantasy ideal with summoners in final fantasy (for instance, ff9 is what pops in mind), and because here it's a mmo they turned it into a pet class and kinda ruined the fantasy. It was ok before the Demis, but now that they shown we can have REAL summons adapted to an MMO, I think it's time to get rid of the "by default" system.

I wish they'd do an ACTUAL pet class fully axed on pets and pets alone (beast master ?) to carry on the classic pet job from MMOs and not force SMN to do it.

Problem is though I'm not sure the combat design would allow for this old school approach of Pet Design. Would the player have to stand still while ordering pets to attack? How could the pet dodge AoE and other mechanics of combat? Really imagine placing a old school MMO pet job in the lastest trials like Dying Gasp, Titania EX and Innocence EX.
