Super summons ????

Quick question guys wasnt there at some stage meant to be roaming world summons that we could get to summon for a limited time just wondering if this was true and if anyone knows if this is still happening ?

it's true and it's happening. When frontlines will be released

Please look forward to it.

It will cost you all your gil

Was announced on E3 2012 1 1/2 years ago.

Still one of the features I'm looking forward to the most.

Thanks guys !!

Being able to summon primals into the world that other free companies have to kill or something, I can't remember exactly, sorry.

i think this idea is bad design.. only the biggest and strongest FCs will get the primals.. and i think they can only be used once? i feel sorry for whoever is on the same server as blue gartyr

please look forward to it.

It was announced that we would have roaming summons in the world and those that killed it would be able to summon it for like a week or something and they were meant to be super strong or something and only one group could have it that week

110% positive that this will just end up being a FATE.

I think it will end up associated with GRAND Companies during Frontlines. Frontlines is intended to be large-scale objective based pvp where the teams are Grand Companies. Maybe only FCs working inside of a GC will be able to summon, but I'm pretty sure it will be summoned into an open world zone where there is PvP allowed all the time. At least that's my assumtion.


And that would be amazing.

I remember it clearly and am still confuse why it isn't implemented yet.

As of now I understand it's to keep primal at an instance like in 1.0 and grind but for an open world primal to become a summon once you defeat it, they said primals would join your Free Company for a one-time assistance or until a week-long tally. Then, the next FC is allowed to hunt it down for another challenge.

One primal can't be helping more than one FC at a time and one FC can't hold more than one primal assist. That's what I understood and look forward to for frontline PvP.

:cool:

AND SO DOES YOURS

Sorry. Servers couldn't handle it without introducing instability, so it has been decided that companies will simply summon egis for now.
There simply isn't enough time to enhance the hardware; apologies all around.

And to ensure that the feature is not overused, since that would cause people to get bored with it, the current cost of a summoning will be 9999 of each type of shard/crystal/cluster for all 512 members of a free company.

Primals and Summons
In A Realm Reborn the Primals are a primary enemy. The land of Eorzea is located on the planet Hydaelyn, which is given life through the ether energy provided by the mother crystal. Beastmen Tribes believe in specific Primals as their deity, and wish to summon the Primals to fight their wars. When a Primal is summoned they feed off of the planets energy, draining the ether from the Mother Crystal. If the Primals are summoned by the Beastmen Tribes the planet itself will be destroyed, and in A Realm Reborn the goal is to prevent that from happening.

By defeating the Primals in A Realm Reborn you can to harness their power in various ways, depending on the method of engagement. Aside from the encounters while progressing through the story, there will also be much harder Primal battles that Free Companies can work towards. When progressing through the story you can obtain some power of the Primals for the new Summoner class that will be available in A Realm Reborn, which uses the power of the Primals in creatures that will fight by your side. By completing the more difficult Primal battles, the entire Free Company will earn the right to summon the full power of the Primal. This form of summon works very similar to the Limit Break system, filling up a gauge through combat and unleashing the huge attack. For comparison, think of the summons from Final Fantasy VII.

“The players will get together in their Free Companies [guilds] and they will fight Ifrit. If they defeat him, they will get the opportunity to summon him once. That Free Company will get to decide where and when to use him. Then Ifrit goes out to another place in the world for other people to go get him, so it’s like this competition between people in the world. This won’t be instanced, this will be public content, so anyone in the world can do it.” Until Ifrit is summoned, no other player group will be able to summon him. When Ifrit is actually brought into a fight it seems like nearly everyone in the server will know, because the skies will turn red. Then once the skies clear, you’ll know Ifrit is again available to defeat and acquire. “The whole world is involved in the summoning of these monsters.”

That's how it was explained, content to be enjoyed by a majority. How it will actually work? "Please look forward to it~"

Cheers for the link :)

np. i''m sure many players don't even know about this announced feature yet.

PS3 limitations.

You need to have the largest FC house to store your Primal.

I wonder what there is in the open world that you need/want to summon primals for?? Odin??

Honestly, they're probably waiting until PS3 use dies out or at least until there are few enough PS3 users to take the reputation hit from ignoring them.
