NINJA...New Pet Class!

[Shougun]

The dog could always be another battle pet like the Chocobo, after all FFVI wasn't the only FF with dog companions.

Rinoa + Angelo FFVIII
Yojimbo + Daigoro FFX
Gilgamesh + Enkidu FFXII

Not that i would be against a pet using Ninja though could quite interesting....

A little bit of a wild suggestion but... you could make beastmaster a cross job/class ability set....

Like if you level beastmaster you learn how to tame and raise animals- almost a job that is also a crafting/gathering job.

You can then subslot your call ability to another class / job and call pets - however main job beastmaster would allow access to many exclusive / powerful pet skills that make it still a viable job, and perhaps you have to tame the animal completely before you can use it in other jobs.


Like I said pretty weird. . Without enough nerfing or enough comparable skills I'm pretty sure everyone would sub the beastmaster call ability though.. Perhaps if you sub the skill the pet takes up 1 party slot - so you can go solo content as a bard / wolf combo or something (but its not used in large parties as much and besides a beastmasters pet being far more powerful it wouldn't take up two slots (you and the pet)).

I only think this makes some sense because I would think the beastmaster will need a class to lead up into him, so a keeper class with the call skill- and beastmaster is the main job.
