Limited Job #2: Beastmaster

[DynnDiablos]

One of my favorite jobs from Final Fantasy XI was Beastmaster. I loved taming various creatures and using them in battle. It was also such a solo-friendly job to play. While I know many people are against another limited job, I think BST could really cater to it with collecting mob companions, and I think they could create a really cool questline and challenges to go with it.

Please no more limited jobs

Please no more limited jobs

Yeah, agreed. The first limited job didn't exactly pan out so well.

Limited job is a waste of dev time, either give a job we can use at max level or don't give it at all.

In YOUR opinion. It seems many players think what they want is what everyone wants and the developers should cater strictly to them. I am in no way saying limited jobs as is are perfect. I just can't see Beastmaster working in party. Now if they made it a real solo class and let you run dungeons on your own, that could work.

You guys really want BLU to be made a normal job just so people can still exclude you off raiding and other stuff because its not as OP or balanced as the other? Look at the casters right now and tell me if you want that. At the very least if BLU was OP thered be a miriad of complaint threads from rdm, smn and blm about it. No thanks I dont want that life.

It's with the idea in mind that they'd perform adjustments to make it work and obviously not just take it as it is... either way, the likelihood is that a fourth caster will be added in 6.0 or 7.0, so there will be one in the future.

Red Mage has more life in Ultimate than Blue Mage has since 4.5.

Most of the people that play this game dont raid. So I honestly dont care about that "meta" there...I just want those that really wanted to play this job in any group content at all (like recent content and not locked to blue parties or being carried by others..) to have that and maybe if it was done fine it could have been another job I liked too.

So instead of giving the majority of the people a chance to play this job as a main in every content its now utterly restricted and seemingly even the devs dont have a clue on what to do with it. Its a limited job because its too OP..yet its probably one of the weakest jobs at lvl 50..its also sold as a solo job yet most of the skills are grinded in old group content..and the next addition to this after months is another group activity..where is the solo part again?

And carneval really is nothing that special either..and after you have done them once you are only getting something out of it after the weekly reset..and now they even have to put in a mount probably to incentive people to do the new content..

Choose exactly 3 monster types (Couerls, Flans, Wolves, Tonberries, Marlboros, etc etc) out of the X many we have in this game to control, and now explain to everybody else why the types they want aren't making the cut. That is why I'm certain it's not going to be made into a normal job in this game, there would be far too much complaining over certain types not being controllable, or why couldn't all of them be controllable, etc etc. The devs can't win in that situation. Sure they can't win in a Limited Job situation either, but would you rather have a faux Beastmaster or a real one?

There will always be limits..blue being limited also did not give him every single spell in the game either. So even if its limited beastmaster will also not get every beast in the game thus you might ask yourself the question too..(they need to create these pets and give them skills and stats.)

What would be so bad about a beastmaster that has x amount of beasts for normal content as a normal job and then give us the option (like the fishing log) to just collect the rest outside of it? What are you even planning to do with a limited beastmaster? Send your beast against fates? Have another carneval that is simply done by having the right beast for the right stage and move out of stuff?

I would be quite happy if every job ingame is a normal job and has side content on top of that. Perform for bards, new monster skills for blue, collecting more beasts for beastmasters. These all could still be there but at least also give the people the chance to use the job in the rest of the content.
