I think Espers from FFXII would work best for an MMO. You summon them for a chunk of MP (like a percentage, not a flat cost) and they stay around for a while attacking off AI, then they use their signature attack and leave.

I do agree that they should be out. a 1 time summon is kinda lame.
lol
Yeah an expansion is definitely in order, but there's still hope yet!
I really hope they do not go that way. It would just kill the hope to have a summoner job and it would be kinda lame to have everyone be able to summon. I hated that aspect in all those FFs where you could have anyone summon (FFXIII is the worst among them, the summons are just awful).
Valefor of course.
So far the current Primals in the game are Leviathan, Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan. They all evil looking lol!
Maybe each class/job can have a specific type of summon that it can use. Taking an example from FFXI jobs and avatars, DRK and Diabolos combo.
Btw, I don't actually want that. It was just an observation of limiting classes and jobs on the summons they can use. I much rather have just one class/job capable of summoning.
I honestly want to see Doomtrain or Eden
