Any pets in FE?

 I played in a beta for a short time, read a bunch of reviews.  But no mention of pets...you know, the cute fuzzy terror that runs along with you and helps you kill bad guys?  (The horse doesn't exactly fit my definition of a 'pet').  Are there?

Yep, I know the devs are shooting for realism.  But how about the cute mongrel dog?  Or the mysterious raven/crow?  Or even the inexplicable mutant-feline?  All of them scream 'post apocalypse', IMHO...

They've pretty much said there will never be pets in the game.

 

That doesn't rule out decorative pets, if/when they put in player housing though.

They do give you a temporary pet from a quest in Pass Chris. Some beetle looking thing, but I haven't used it yet, so don't know what all it does, really.

I've seen someone with a crawler pet and I read someone else saying there were spiders too. The one I saw just followed the owner around. It didn't do any fighting.

Yes that's true, there are a few missions that give out reward items which spawn out pets. They usually don't have many charges and aren't too useful atm so as it stands it's more of a gimmick. Who knows what will come in the future though.

They seem to have been heavily influenced by the original SWG, so its not impossible for many, if not all, the original ideas from that game to make thier way into FE.
