On Limit Breaks and Summoner

I was thinking about what each job's limit break could be. My first thoughts attracted me to dragoon, and how we didn't get the Dragon pet like in XI. Could it be possible that the dragoon limit break is a Dragon Summon? After all I believe they did say somewhere once upon a time they wanted to maybe include a dragon into an attack.

Anyways this leads me on to Summoner. We were told that summoners will be calling lesser spirits. I believe this will still be true. We were also told that the Primal summoning system will be something a private company accomplishes. Could it be that the Summoner Limit break is to "Grand Summon" a primal, as a limit break requires the efforts of the entire party?

Been discussed so many times.
This thread is not new or unique.
Also, speculation is bad, because it will most likely make us get our hopes up, and in the rare case that Yoshida-san falls short, we might get all upset.

Oh I didn't know I searched but nothing turned up.

and no speculation isn't bad. Don't attach hopes to speculation.

99% of the people do.
They might start hoping that summoners get to summon ifrit for limit break, and when thy turn out to be wrong they'll be like this:

about that Dragoon limit break i assume it is or will be a dragon summoning
if u followed the drg quest line story a drg can be consumed by a dragon similar like nidhog (you know what am aiming at)
as for the rest i guess will be Epic WS for DoW maybe as including drg if he didnt get a dragon limit
who knows

Dragoon - I imagine the limit break will include the dragon from the quest line flying over and doing a fire breath in the fashion of a carpet bomb dealing massive dmg.

White Mage - A heavenly light will shine down on the party members and every party member will gain a crazy amount of buffs (mega protect, mega shell, stoneskin, regen, haste, etc...)

Black Mage - Meteor like we have already seen

Warrior - Enrages (crazy TP/MP regen for party) the entire party and bull rushes the enemy causing an extended stun

Paladin - Grants the party "Invincibility" for 30 seconds, revives all fallen team-mates and generates a massive amount of hate.

Bard - A volley of arrows shot from Ballistae will impale the enemy causing massive damage and every debuff available

Monk - A massive karate style attack that mame's all body parts and deals massive damage.


Yeah..I know some are random lol..couldn't think of anything better.

Nice thoughts though...
Must... not... get... hopes... up!

Haha, *Ryujin Ketu casts Getyourhopesup* - Renen is now under the effect of Getyourhopesup.

*Renen uses esuna*
*esuna sucks and removes no debuffs as usual*

I dont understand with recent interview that states Limit Break is not job dependent(or exclusive?), same Limit Break will have different effects if executed by different jobs..what's your thought?

DRG meteor will have dragon wings!

At the very least drogoon and if the energy is channeled to them would have a dragon summoned to do an attack. Be nice to see little waverns all the time for them however.

Meteror is a blm channeled break. Devine destruction whm. THe rest who knows, hopefully more and more will be shown.

I honestly don't think we will see a Dragon based attack of any kind coming from DRG. In Lore, Dragoons are the antithesis of Dragons, stealing the power of their enemies to slay them. Only fallen Dragoons call upon the Dragons themselves.

As for SMN, I believe Yoshi-P said that anyone within a Free Company will be able to summon a Primal regardless of class or job. It seems more likely that SMN will get some sort of Astral Flow ability for their Minor Primals.

That would be so massively broken no other limit break would be necessary.

That's not how bard works. It will most likely be a pt buff of some sort like Battle Voice is.

Why would any party use an invincibility/revive buff if they aren't dying/dead? The only one that is actually affected by this limit break would be the whm since they would have nothing to do for 30 seconds, the rest the group would function exactly the same as without the buff. It seems to me that they would use any of the limit breaks that boost damage dealt that at point.

Hell, I see little use for a planned 30 seconds immunity besides the obvious "avoid boss 2hr." Limit breaks seem, to me, more like well thought-out and properly timed group ability that ensures victory when done correctly. Not an "oh shit" mechanic that you activate when things are going south.

I know dragoons despise dragons and their 1 purpose is is to kill dragons but it would be cool to get a dragon based limit. For example freya from FFIX had dragon heart(right?) for every dragon killed the damage would increase capping at 9999.

Exactly, it would make every boss 2hr in the game completely pointless. Broken.

Meh, I literally typed this up in 2 minutes for fun lol...I'm sure 6/7 are wrong

The spoiled text for SMN on the site does mention 'Primals' by name which may hint at a change of direction from Yoshi-P's original Free Company idea.

If summoning Primals is also part of the Limit Break system (I suspect a summoner would have to fight Ifrit to gain a one-shot 'Pact' first), then this might be a best of both worlds for SMNs.


Time will tell though.

Primal summoning requires filling up a bar through some means which have not been explained. This has been said in several interviews.
