I wonder if it's possible to convert the data into instances. I'd love the system to be expanded upon in any case. Back then, I mostly started FF14 for the Chocobo and I still have 0 urge to farm other mounts. Actually, Hunter also convinced me to try WoW back in the day.

In hindsight, I feel like BST could actually lure in more people than I initially realized.

If conversion isn't possible, maybe the pet could function as a companion in the overworld and as egi/faerie (with standardized kit? / other players being able to turn them off visually) in multiplayer dungeons.
