Suggestion: Vanity Pets

[ToxicFox]

While the Malboro would be neat...I was thinking more along the lines of a Snurble or Ewe...or a tiny Mog that will fly behind you like he's trying to catch up, but then land on your shoulder and pant heavy for a moment when you stop.

I would like to see a little fox. :3

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS MAN'S INNOCENT APPERANCE!

He is in my linkshell, and his simple request for more added casual fun in this game is a devious ploy! It is a plot with Camate to force me to witness Snubble 'pets' that I cannot kill! Worse is that I might become shackeled to one!

Think of the reprocussions, I will be forced to kill everything in sight in a vain attempt to get rid of it! Please, oppose this measure for the sake of Snurble Slayers everywhere!

I want a pet Malboro. I'd name it: Carrot. ;o

No, thanks, sorry, they can make a pet class, that's fine. But no.

Why are you always "that guy"?

I don't like to side with the public enemy, as he doesn't even supply a reason as to why, but having little "pets" that follow you around really cheapens the feel of being a rough and tumble seasoned adventurer into a a baby animal collector.

It's my char and I'll do what I want. It's as simple as that.

Do you have a problem with people having an opinion? It is my OPINION that it would cheapen the feel of my character being someone who's been through the world being destroyed if I had some fuzzy little thing following me. You're entitled to yours, but don't go attacking people when their opinion is different from yours.

really? to bad you can't. To bad you already have a pet, a pet chocobo. You can call em any time you want, HEY, you can even call your pet goobuu if you got him. And when you can raise your own chocobos, you can feed and take care of your little bet chocobo. There are your vanity pets. Deal with it.

Who's to say we're ALL rough tough adventurers? It'd be one thing if you were forced to have a vanity pet to perform your role in a group better, but that's not really the case. It'd probably turn out like WoW where people either: a) seldom/never used pets, b) used the pets and obsessively collected them all for the sake of collecting them, or c) used the ones that made sense to them (ex: the guys RPing knights would use the argent squire vanity pet because it made sense for their character).

Not to mention it's pretty one-dimensional to expect everyone to be grizzled and "tough". That'd be like expecting a guy like Sten in Dragon Age to be into biting kittens' heads off just because the guy is a powerhouse on the battlefield (when in reality the guy liked fine paintings, playing with kittens and picking flowers 0.o).
