Beastmaster / Tamer Class

[BlaiseLallaise]

● Should it be called "Beastmaster" or "Tamer" ?
Why not both? "Tamer" can be a class, and "Beastmaster" can be a job.

● Wich monsters should we be able to "Tame" ?
I think it would be interesting to be able to do a quest to 'tame' your very own of almost every non-large or rare beast, and then they would be yours to call at any time (one at a time, obviously). Seems like a more personal way to go about it than the 'catch & release' method used in FFXI.

edit: After thinking again, perhaps it isn't such a good idea to tame the smallest creatures. Who would fear a tiny little rat, or a swarm of bees? So, medium-sized creatures would be about right.

● Should we be able to name our pet?
If implemented like my previous answer, absolutely. Using an FFXI method, probably not.

● Should pets have their own stats allocation system?
I don't think that's necessary. Just a standard base stat distribution per beast type should suffice.

● Should pets be able to equip certain armor?
Probably, but no more than something similar to Chocobo barding.

● Should pets be able to change class?
If implemented as I envision it, each different pet could have its own class, and you could change battle tactics by simply swapping pets.

● What actions should the pet be able to perform?
Initially the beast's native attacks, but it would be interesting to be able to raise them to learn new attacks (within reason).

● Should pets be an optional mount?
Since we will be able to use chocobos in battle, it only makes sense to allow it to go the other way around. (Again, within reason. No marmot mounts, please.)

● Should we be able to run around inside cities with your pets?
Simply a novelty, but not a terrible idea. I have no leanings either way.
