Still no more Egi glamours

Dancer, if we get it, could maybe have unique dances or dance moves.

I’d like MCH to be reworked and have more focus on turrets anyway, but there’s the option for turret glamours I guess. Mini Magitek armours, Mammets or Allagan nodes.
If we got a third, Knight Turret, that was mobile, I’d love to have a Magitek Armour for Rook, a Node for Bishop, and a Mammet for Knight!

i want the NieR Pods for Mch Turents-Glam... *peeppeeppeeeeep* :3

pets and turrets should be allowed to use minions as glamours...

I don't think you could use all minions as glamours.
They'd each need attack animations.

Don't they already have one because of Lord of Verminion?

Once upon a time Final Fantasy used to make summoner this magical job that called forth Giant beasts to rain down destruction upon their enemies or heal the wounds of their team members. Summoners have had this iconic role in the Final Fantasy series and have always been one of my favorite jobs. I was so excited when summoner was announced for FFXIV and have played it since it's inception and have watched as it has gone from being a shell of it's former glory to taking baby steps in the right direction. I understand that they don't want summoner to be a Black Mage clone (i.e. glass cannon burst machine), and the dot system definitely makes them different in that sense, however I feel that if they incorporated the primals into the summoners rotation as part of a chain that they could really pull off something more akin to the Summoners of old while still keeping Summoner different enough from Black Mage that it wouldn't feel like a repeat. If they kept the rotation like it is and expanded on it by letting you choose which "trance" to use depending on the situation and have a "trance" chain that you continuously chain together and finish it off with dreadwyrm trance and summon Demi Bahamut. You could have Judgement Trance and harness the power of Ramuh to leave an aoe thunder dot while increasing the parties magic damage, or have a Tidal Trance and dealing aoe burst tidal wave damage while increasing the parties mp. The party buffs could be less impressive than an Astros buffs but you would be able to pick which ones to use. When using each of the trance attacks an image of the corresponding primal shows up behind the summoner ( like Bahamut's head for dreadwyrm trance) and casts it's ability. This would mean the entire job wouldn't need to be overhauled, it would just expand on the base we already have but would incorporate the other primals in a way that would let us feel like we're summoning without having an actual primal called all the time. It may not be perfect but it could be fun and give summoner more of a support utility role than it has now.
