Do we even need a BST job?

[MonsutaMan]

No....not in my opinion.

I made a few threads about BST over the years, but I started to wonder...... what if they simply expanded the Chocobo companion to include other fauna?
(Aware this probably has already been mentioned)

Basically, you learn the ability to charm creatures from an NPC on any job.

I am a BST vet in XI and all.....but why waste resources on something you are not very good at lol?

I feel BST as a limited job is a waste of resources/time. Unlike BLU, having an animal fight by your side is already in-game, thus does not require a whole A$$ job for a system the majority loathes.

In a nutshell, add a monster log to the main game. Use whatever monsters you caught in place of your chocobo companion. Add an actual job in place of BST; which is more of a mechanic that already exist.

I will land my plane there......

I just want to switch the chocobo to one of my retainer. Would be much more cool imo.

Job: Retainer master (RTN)
Description: Same as BST but instead of animals, it's retainers!

A chocobo selling your stuff in the Ul'dah market?

"I want that shield, how much?"
"KWEEEE KWEEEEEE"

We'll end up with a lot of greens, carrots, roots and maybe some onion.

In the old days of 1.x we had some cutscenes with our rentainers. Maybe, the devs back then wanted to make them our companions at some point.
This was changed to make rentainers go alone through the Venture system. But, it would be good if they kept the old plans for them as well (beside the ventures), in my opinion.

It would be something more for me to do. Nothing left to level, I don't feel comfortable doing savage and I just haven't been able the muster the motivation to smacking harvesting points for hours on end.

Made very unsuccessful thread about this idea, or how i called it "companion glamour" some time ago. Would still love to have it
CHECK IT

[Midareyukki]

No, but I guess it'd be some other thing to do + some people definitely want it for nostalgia's sake. Nothing wrong with that.

I'd like my golem Magitek Reaper from ARR as a customizable companion.
