Hmmm, that's a good question. I would think they will. Those classes/jobs are fun. The question is, what weapon will you need to be able to charm animals? And what animals?
They're gonna need a crapload of weapontypes!
I just hope they have a beastmaster type class sometime during the game. I had alot of fun and excitement lvling bst to 75 in XI. If they do have one I hope they make it friendlier in groups of none bsts.
If I recall correctly, there was no pet classes when the original final fantasy XI released. They had only core classes and later added in most of the pet classes in later exp packs. I believe there may have been a question vid interview that explained pet classses along with pvp encounters in the game were to be later introduced in a expansion or additional game content. If its SE and t hey are following thier FF job system, they will release all the jobs (maybe even more than FFXI). There were a lot less jobs in FFXI because many abilties that were for certain jobs were merged as one. From tactics and tactics advance you notice that haste/slow/stop e.t.c. were time mage abilties and so red mage got all these (reducing the overall need for additional roles) and the way FFXIV armory system works it seems it has room for a lot of job expansion.
Dragoooooon! Wheres ma dragon at??!?
I'm SURE there will be SOME form of pets, but I am NOT sure that PETS will be a specific CLASS type. If you know what I mean.
They are makign the game offence based and weapon based. I don't see how you would 'level' your pet if that is the case, maybe there is something though.
I think i read somewhere that summons will be in the game, but they will not be as they are in FFXI. Either that or someone lied to me ....
Pet classes are not viable in FFXIV. Weapon type is the class, and if the pet is not considered a weapon, it won't be a class. Summoners might get away if their magic is considered "summoning", but jobs from XI like Beast- and Puppetmaster and Dragoon will get the short stick.
However, that doesn't mean the pets won't be in this game. It simply means instead of having pet "classes", you have pets that you can use with whatever class you wish. Be a Lancer with beastmasterish skills? That's possible. How about a Pugilist with similar abilities? That's okay, too. However, if you want to strengthen your pet, there is a setback; the master will be weaker. That way the system will balance itself, but that kind of flexibility will create some unseen situations that might affect the game balance, so it's not surprising that SE wouldn't want to implement the pets into the game before seeing what the players can do with the system presented to them.
Anyway, that sounds pretty much awesome if it works out right. Hopefully it will.
