Not sure if this constitutes thread necromancy, but something suddenly dawned on me.
I want rules for having unicorn, pegasus, and wyvern animal companions. Having fantastical mounts and pets are a pretty basic fantasy trope; I remember it being one of the first things I looked into when I started playing OD&D (as in "elf is a character class" D&D), and I'm a bit surprised it's not something that's been more regularly fleshed out as part of the basic rules.
I wand a Fungus Order for Druids. You can borrow some necromancer stuff for it!

Howl of the Wild's advanced animal companions rules would be perfect for this, actually.

I like the stat blocks that are offered there, though to my knowledge it doesn't cover the creatures I mentioned earlier. To a certain extent, you could use the hippogriff to approximate the pegasus, and the roc to approximate the wyvern, probably swapping out the roc's knockback effect with a poison effect instead. The unicorn is a bit harder to do due to the innately magical natural weapon attack; all the more reason to wish-list official stat blocks.
Sorry, I meant that the monsters you mentioned could be added as new Advanced Companions. The one issue is that Paizo seems reluctant to release animal companions that are sapient- Pegasi, Unicorns, and Wyverns are all noticably smarter than any other companion released to date.
Any particular class options people are really hoping to see in the future?
Class options...
I want to see more for Kineticist. More impulses.
I'd like to see a whole new set of 'gate' options that are NOT elements, and with some; if taken prevent you from taking element gates.
- To expand that game design into other ideas.
But Paizo's already said they're 'shy' about non-Vancian options.
---------
More Thaumaturge Implements. Thaumaturge is the only Cha based non-vancian class in the game. So I'd like to see more from it. I'd like to see some way for a non-weapon Thaum to be able to use a shortbow at proficiency.
---------
More alchemist options for weapon proficiency. It'd be nice for the class to be able to use a non-reload based ranged weapon.
It'd be nice to have some AoE bombs to it can target a save (reflex for explosions, fort for poison gas).
---------
Back to kineticist...
Give it some ability to get an elemental animal companion. That should not be a druid only thing.
---------
Those are my ideas at the moment based on recent characters I've been playing with.
