Controlling of the new avatar please (Survey)

The title explains itself, I wanted to post this in hopes of people helping this situation and letting SE know we don't want another Odin/Alexander type avatars.....Two is enough.


This thread is not a debate thread its just a simple yes/no followed by a brief opinion on why you pick yes/no. Leave the discussion vs each others opinion in the other thread.

Would you like Atomos/CaitSith similar to Odin/Alexander?

Answer: No
Reason: I would like to actually control these long awaited avatars, we only see one every 2 hours at the current time, excluding Abyssea. Some type of actual control would be nice for Odin/Alex, please don't make the new ones the same way...as Odin/Alex

Thanks.

No.

Reason: Because it's a cat with a crown and a cape. 5 Seconds every Two hours is not enough!

Nobody wants it like Odin and Alexander. This like asking "Do you prefer living or dying?"

Of course I'm sure some would say they want them as 2 hours. There are always madmen in the world.

I do want Atomos to be like Odin/Alexander. I'm hoping it won't just look like a cavernous maw but instead will appear in the sky and do bad things to people below.

Sorry, but I don't want to get violated by a big hole in the sky.

I'd prefer them to be traditional, controllable, BP rage/ward avatars. We already have a offensive and defensive 2 hr avatar andother one would just be a waste

That sounds kinky, you sure you don't want to reconsider your stance?

Most definitely NO

And please make Odin and Alexander no longer a 2 hours exclusive only. One of the most atrocious idea ever to be implemented in the game. Developers, please, exercise some thoughts, play the game, and most of all, LISTEN to what the customers want. Thanks you.

Cait Sith and Atomos should be normal avatars and not 2hr exclusives. The story really doesn't show them as being that powerful unlike Odin/Alex and Cait Sith kinda follows you around the whole time anyway.
For Odin/Alex I think the current way can stay but how about adding some control over them? I mean adding to each of them a new ability that you can use depending on the target you select.
Right now Odin is cast on the enemy and uses Zantetsuken while Alexander is cast on yourself and uses Perfect Defense.
Why not allow the option to cast Odin on yourself triggering a buff move (I was thinking about the intimidation move,Yggr, tweaked to work as a more powerful version of circle abilities) and cast Alexander on the enemy to trigger Divine Judgement. It just doesn't feel right to have Alexander summonable without his signature move.

I'm pretty sure we're getting the cavernous maws.

Well... they could just use their TP moves from Einy/ToAU Missions, and make Perfect Defense their Astral Flow 2 hour.... possible, but I don't see it happening.
