Beastmaster and Sanctury Island

[Savagelf]

this island will be great ideal for beast master. there quite few option for this they could raise beast for babies to adult or they could use it as tamer paradise

[Roda]

I'm thinking they could bring back that shepherd DoL that was supposedly scrapped for 1.0

Maybe Pagaga and Lyon are chilling on the island before WoL comes.

[Savagelf]

a good ideal teach beastmaster to WoL or we will have ability to build a building for them to teach beast master job

I have no problem with a full Beastmaster job being able to participate in a pet raising minigame. Bard has Performance, Summoner can glam their pets, White Mage gets a free Unicorn, and Tanks have their mounts. It is perfectly ok for full jobs to have an extra thing.

That being said, the aesthetic of a hunter/ranger who tames beasts is not something that should be reduced to a limited job in this or any game. Instead of a limited Beast Master, I would rather they focus on giving us 3 full jobs at expansion launches like they did in Heavensward. Limited jobs are a waste of resources and rob the playerbase of both classic FF jobs to use in current content and classic fantasy tropes in general.

In any case, if other mmorpgs can figure it out then so can FFXIV. See: Beast Mastery Hunter in WoW

We are never ever getting three jobs at expansion launch again. They have flat out said no, just like we will never get a job mid expansion like Ninja again either. Nor do I blame them. The state of MCH was a gods awful at launch, AST wasn't much better, and only DRK was good at start.

That said, Beastmaster could possibly be a thing, but I think they need to keep working on improving their pet AI some more first. Once they do that there is no need to limit it like Blue Mage, instead just give it the same treatment egis got and label mobs as tank, melee dps, or ranged dps.

I wouldn't hold your breath, considering Yoshi-P already said in an interview that if Beastmaster and Puppetmaster ever become real, they would be limited jobs.

On top of that, he's already said that pets are a balancing nightmare and we've seen SMN, SCH, and MCH pets scaled back every single expansion to the point where they may as well not exist anymore.
