Would you like to see a job class based off of Azem's crystal?

At some point, yes, I completely agree with this. But I think adding a few more classes at least is what we need to help see the current job classes eventually leading up to that.

Like, with Sage added to the trio of healers as the fourth and with the introduction of pure and shield Healer concept to seperate the Healer role into two distinct groups. If Endwalker is successful with this concept, then I think we need more of that with the job classes we already have, plus adding a few more in order to fill certain roles our current roster of classes can't at the moment. For example, with the loss of Summoner's DoT spells, this would give FFXIV team the prime opportunity to introduce a spell caster class that focuses primarily on DoT skills and status ailments.

I think after all of that, then the devs should focus on customization options, skilltrees and alt playstyles for the classes to give some variety to what we already got.

It would be ridiculous... For once how do you summon the aether of your still living closest allies?
Do you sap them leaving them half dead somewhere in the world? :D

I forgot to put in my opening post, but I thought the summoning would work like a Endwalker Summoner's where we, having the residual aether of our closet comrades stored away in our soul crystal, allows us to temporarily summon a simulacrum of sorts that performs the attack/ability/spell you summoned them for before breaking apart and dissipating until you need to call them again.

That, I haven't really thought through yet. For right now, I just thought us gaining a job class some time later after Endwalker based off of Azem's supposed ability to summon his friends during his time of need would have been a cool concept and something to call back to the WoL's original/unsundered self.

iirc someone on the forums made a long post about that

Honestly, that could be the case. That Emet-Selch could have been what remaining aether that was left of him that we summoned to help us fight Elidibus. He was the one to create our memory Crystal, after all. Though if you remember the title of that thread talking about the summoned Emet-Selch, I'd love to see and read it. It sounds like it'd be a really interesting read. :D

But it could also be something to help the WoL move forward as a means of never forgetting the past by always having your friends in some shape or form with you at all times, ready to help you in your hour of need. Never forget the past, but also don't let it hold you back either. At least that's how I'd think of this job class.

It sounds like equal parts walking spoiler, no solid theme/type unless you arbitrarily restrict who we would call on and for which skills, and distracting. I don't want to see a constant parade of other characters turning up.

Make it a "Freelancer" job crystal like FFV.

Have it be a special job like Blue Mage in which you are able to equip skills from any job you've already leveled. Group skills into ranks (for example Benediction, Hallowed Ground, Living Dead, etc. are all "Rank 9" skills) and make it so that you can take a limited number of skills from each rank (like 1 rank 9 skill, 2 rank 8 skills, 3 rank 7 skills, and so on).
