I like the moogle for a avatar lol and it could allow access to mh or something for everyone in pt so when you need to change jobs and not lose all your lights

What happens if nobody shows up to an Abyssea party as a SMN?

You guys are listing summons that are impossible to summon in a FFXI setting. (Sorry for being a troll just being realistic XD.)

Summon a party member to your side? Wait, a party member is not an avatar.....

Oh wait, in boarder sense, all player characters are avatar of the player......

Because a Light-based avatar would be so handy:
-Madeen

Because we'll never get anything that isn't already inthe data files though:
-Cait Sith.

And why not? she's an avatar. And think how much fun she could be. She could be like the Corsair of avatars with random gambley effects.

And she would be the best thing in the world to idle with.

Many suggestions I have read, are impossible, or have already been implemented into the game. Pheonix is a definite no (appearance in storyline), Atmos is a no (hes the maw entrances), Cait Sith is main character in story line.

I do however like the sound of summonable FAT CHOCOBO! ... a 2hour summon, cast it off, and all you see is a shadow.. then BOOM!!! Dmg: x2 Smn MP, additional effect: Bind/terror. x) would be funny thats all.. and to obtain it you could do a quest through chocobo raising! (via story book or something)

Phoenix!!
Some type of dragon avatar I doubt we'll get bahamut but maybe we can get one of his smaller cousins
Moomba- Because it's way cuter than carby!
Quetzicotyl
Seraph – If Phoenix is a 2hr only summon a better healing/light summon would be good.

While I would like to see some of my favourite summons like Phoenix & a Bahamut-like avatar return one of the things I always looked forward to most when a new FF came out was seeing what new summons they'd come up with. So not past FF summons but other mythological figures that might make interesting avatars could be:

Thoth - Ibis headed Egyptian God of wisdom, magic & healing. Might have some healing spells & heavy magic attacks. Egyptian mythology is extremely rich & I think has been over looked in FF so far (Please correct me if I'm wrong).

Medusa - Beautiful Greek woman turned snake haired monster by Hera's jealousy. Her gaze turned men to stone. Could have petrify & other abilities. Or even better
Gorgons- There were 3 sisters of which Medusa was one, each could have their own abilities similar to the Magus Sisters. I doubt we'll get a summon with more than 1 avatar though they could make it random or based on specific conditions as to which sister appeared when you cast the summon but that might be to much work idk.

Kali- Hindu Goddess of destruction. Major physical BPs

Apollo- Greek God of the sun, healing & the arts also an expert archer. Could have some light based attacks, cures & ranged physical attacks.

Hecate- Greek Lunar Goddess with many aspects. It might be interesting to make her effected by moon phase like Fenrir but to a larger extream. For example during a waxing moon she could spawn as her maiden aspect with an emphasis on light abilities & buffing, during a full moon she could spawn in her mother aspect & have strong magic damage abilities & cures, while during a waning moon she could spawn in her crone aspect with an emphasis on dark based abilities & enfeebling effects.

Cernunnos or Pan- Celtic & Greek Gods of the forests & wild things. Could have a terror attack as well as abilities to heal/ strengthen other pets. This type of avatar would be amazing for SMN or pet burns.

Just the first few that came to mind. Would be cool to see some new FFXI exclusive avatars.

Many suggestions I have read, are impossible, or have already been implemented into the game. Pheonix is a definite no (appearance in storyline), Atmos is a no (hes the maw entrances), Cait Sith is main character in story line.

Carbuncle, Fenrir, Alexander & Odin (am I forgetting any?) are all main characters in story lines yet are summonable. SE are clever people they could create an opportunity in a storyline to summon anything & if they can't think of anything clever they can do it anyway without a sensible storyline explanation that's been done plenty to lol.

EDIT: Diabolos is also a story line NPC that is summonable.

fair enough. But pheonix is definitely out of the picture, because of what happened during the story that's all.. (i dont want to explain fully coz it would be huge game spoiler for those that havnt got far in mission lines)

Actually Batallia Downs and the Eldieme Necropolis shows that they know a fair bit about Egyptian Mythology. The birds, "Ba", live in Batallia Downs and is a reference to the soul of the dead. The shadows, "Ka", are in the Eldieme Necropolis is a reference to the animating force of the body. In the ancient Egyptian Myths, the two are separated at death. It is a fairly esoteric and sly demonstration of a depth of knowledge. The only problem is that there are Bas in Batallia Downs [S], but no Kas in the Eldieme Necropolis [S].

If I had access to spoiler tags, I could explain how they could easily allow Phoenix to be a summon despite of his status in the story line. But it has to do with Bennu (who is considered the prototype for the Phoenix mythology) and his special status in Egyptian Mythology. In fact, I have often wondered if that is why things turned out they way they did for Phoenix considering the depth of knowledge they demonstrated in the example that I posed above.
