If only SEGA could make a proper concept for a pet class.

My biggest turnoff about how they advertised the summoner class is the fact the player character literally does nothing but bark orders (via conductor's baton) to the pet that does everything for the owner just like pokemon. Hell, look at where the camera is pointing! I need to try to find the player at times.


SCH and SMN in FF14 supplements the player character. Same deal with WoW's hunter and warlock classes. Summoner in blade and soul is more reliant on their pet to protect themselves, but the player character obviously has abilities of their own such as healing, and CC.

All of the above have to fight alongside, and work with the pet. The summoner trailer leaves me with the impression that the player character may as well not be there for any reason, unless it's for some contrived class lore reason.
