Phoenix The Terrestrial Avatar Of Life.

good thought i love the idea of it. would be nice to have a regain favor. really hope something like this does soon happen D:

And you know what? in the early days of FFXI there was(and technically still is) a LOT of story from SMNs. more than probably half the jobs in the game(Or probably closer to all!)! This might be why they haven't added new stuff for SMN and are unwilling to. I would love Phoenix so much, have always loved that summon and it's one of my favorite mythical creatures.

Just wait, SE is secretly developing her as we speak and are going to ninja-add her without saying a word and wait to see how long it takes us to find out haha.(me being blissfully optimistic and wishful)

No really... that's what they did to Diabolos.

wouldn't phoenix be fire and light elements?

[Saiken253]

@jamesy

Yes, yes she would and I would love it. Been waiting for a fire summon that's worth using and a light avatar that's used for more than healing(sounds like another avatar we have already? :O).

Phoenix is not dead. The final cutscene from CoP shows that. A single feather falling at Blueblade Fall, looking out over the old Tavnazian Marquisate. (I suspect Phoenix and Tavnazia are linked in a future expansion, possibly the Last Stand, but that theory floats on a single falling feather.)

We where able to revive Fenrir by bringing the whispers together in carbuncles ruby and that was used to help Fenrir regain his strength. So why not something in a similar matter, but still not enough to fully revive Phoenix, but enough for her to lend us her power in the form of a 2 hour only like with Alexander and Odin? Like with the previous games, she comes in, revives/heals, and in some cases put's up auto life(pretty sure this happened in at least one previous game), and deals fire damage to your enemies. And all we see of her is a burning image on the ground in her shape, and maybe a faint ghost like image over it. Or maybe just the ghost image is the first one is to much for the dev team. :P

Just say NO to anymore 2hr ONLY Avatar please.

1 Odin is lol enough, we dont need any more 2hr only avatar (we know we're getting another 2hr only avatar on the way already).

[Draylo]

Odin should have been the only 2hr avatar imo.

[Saiken253]

omg please never again suggest another 2hour summon... they're completely useless. Odin is only "good" on trash mobs. Even then, a BLU/BLM/WAR does it way better than what he does. Alexander really should have been a normal avatar; I would suggest that he be completely stationary and give him extended range on all his BPs(at least the BP:Rs), I really wouldn't mind that. It would be sooo much better than what he does now.

The new 2hour summon that we're getting, Atomos, is going to be garbage unless: 80-99% of the mob's stats(and i mean every single stat from attributes to attack bonus, accuracy, mab, DEF, I mean everything) is absorbed and then given to the ENTIRE ALLIANCE. Maybe to keep it somewhat balanced, make the 99% have to use 95~100%(probably 100%) of our mp and scale it down with less MP used. IMO, I believe the rest of our pet's 2hr BP:Rs should have a similar quality in that: every 200 MP that we use above the base requirement to activate our 2hr BP:R we get +5~10 MAB(it costs 198 MP to be able to initiate the BP at 99).

Phoenix would be such a godsend for SMN if she were called as a perpetuated avatar. as for Cait Sith, here's how that avatar is going to be: We unlock it and play around with it, amused by it's cuteness, and realized that(unless it has anything that's worth-while like a regain favor, which is most likely no, and it's abilities bring something that can be utilized like amnesia that actually lands on anything that's not a trash mob) we will then "store it away" and it'll never see the light of day until we want to be amused and go back to using our Nymph/Priestess/Serpent/Giant/Sage(90% the nymph).

Phoenix has so much more potential for SMN than anything else(in this game) that is within the realm of possibility of us obtaining. She is not dead, for she cannot actually be killed. That is her lore.
