Ether Saga Online is based on the Chinese literary classic, Journey to the West. It is a Free-to-Play MMO and is very story driven. ESO has a rich, vibrant world to explore with a fun anime artstyle. It has a huge amount of content and deep gameplay layers for experienced MMO players, yet is accessible to people new to the genre. There are many unique aspects of the game, such as an auto-route system with smart path-finding, mounted combat and a transformation system to adopt a monster's appearance and gain attributes & abilities.

Perhaps the most interesting gameplay feature the game has to offer is the pet system. Unlike many MMOs, all the Ether Saga Online classes can have pets. In fact, every player begins the game with a pet. The pets won't be mindless creatures or fashion items. They assist players in combat, gain levels and learn skills. You can also capture a wide variety of monsters to keep as new pets. Players looking for a deeper ESO GOLD layer to the pet system can also customize their pets with gear and increase their statistics. The pets are the most fun and innovative aspect to the game that will engage users for their entire gameplay experience.

ESO GOLD product manager, Craig Beers, has spent a lot of time exploring the vast Ether Saga world and has made a list of his favorite pets of the game. Be sure to see if you can obtain these pets too!

No. 10 Ferocious Furnace

It's a furnace. And it's ferocious. What's not to like? It is ESO GOLD obtainable early in the game, so expect to see a few furnaces trailing players.

No. 9 Hihat Beatsmith

Another pet that can be obtained early in the game, the Hihat Beatsmith is a bonafide music lover. It has cymbols as its ESO GOLD head for crying out loud! When it walks, it makes a nice little beat.

No.8 Katsune Kid

The Katsune Kid is a fox-like humanoid with nine tails. It is very ill-tempered and is not afraid to let you know it. Patience is not one of its virtues.

No 7. Fullmetal Hedgehog
