I kinda like how the new 'normal' summons work. They still change how you operate but they themselves act like FF summons of old.
Cast the spell, big guy shows up, blows the enemy the fuck out, rinse repeat. It feels good in my opinion, better than it was prior in my opinion, but I get why people may dislike it.
Overall, feels good! I especially like that it goes from learning these three baby summons, to a demi bahamut, expanded upon with a demi phoenix, and then caps off with bringing your baby summons up to the power of demi's in flavor. Really cool stuff.
The gameplay feels good, and I don't mind it's simplicity since in my opinion summoner was never incredibly complex, just had a lot of jank to unpack that added depth in non-accessible ways.
I do think their numbers may need a buff, but that's just numbers tweaking. What's there is fun for me.
