The movement system is similar to Summoner's egi's in that the Puppet moves in close for attacks while the puppeteer stands at a distance. The main gimmick is that the puppet can be augmented and customized for any type of role. Tank, DPS, or Healer depending on what is needed. Similar to the Crystal Exarch's jack of all trades class alignment. However the Puppet Master needs a tool that correlates with the puppet theme. If the Puppet is Tanking or Healing the majority of DPS relies on the player. If the puppet is DPSing then the Puppet Master relies on supporting it from afar. With the pets losing their ability to be attacked since Stormblood the appeal of a PPM class dies down however since despite the puppet being the main offense the master will still be targeted. Hence the need for a means of defense. In FFXI that was cestuses and gauntlets for hand to hand combat. However in FFXIV Pugilist/Monk have taken that form of combat.
