I have enjoyed the alpha videos however there is something I want to see more than the revamped Gridania and Black Shroud.
I would like to see where SE is at in developing the Arcanist class and maybe even a sneak peak at summoner AF in game. If they aren't that far yet I would settle for some video of Carby in action. Can it jump too? Is it an MP drain or does it have HP and a summon timer like the XI dragoon pet?
When can we see Arcanist / Summoner in action?

In the JP translation thread Soukyuu kindly translated some new interviews from Japanese magazines, Yoshida said
I would love to see how the AF looks in game too...and on both genders if possible hehe but yeah I guess this is as far as they have gotten so far. Maybe if we are lucky we might see it in AF but I have a feeling it will be Arcanist...if anything xDQuote:
Arcanist's "hitting with a book"-animation is being worked on, he plans to show it the next LIVE letter, if possible

Yeah, I believe they said that they could possibly have the Summoner job ready for launch, but they're still working on making it battle-ready (it's probably still horribly imbalanced) and I don't blame them if they don't want to rush it. I'd settle for and enjoy just Arcanist at launch. Would actually give us time to enjoy the class itself before going full-summoner on everything. ;D I would hope that they could show us the AF on a character sometime before launch, even if it won't be available for some time since the SMN job class might not be available for a little while afterwards.

Agreed.
I'm excited for both jobs - but would be delighted if we are only able to play Arcanist at launch. -

I wonder, did they abandon the idea of the FC primal summoning?
-
11-24-2012, 04:13 AMGokuloNope, they are still there as far as we know.Quote:

just come off the Carby video before too long SE and I'll be a happy camper -

possible in the next live letter^-^ i read this from yoshi itself in a Interview.
am waiting for it myself. playing XI atm just to play my SMN. -
11-24-2012, 05:29 AMBabydollNo problem! Happy to help :) And yes I do think Urlanger is an Arcanist! There was a few NPC's who were...and there was the guild in LL. They had these odd looking weapons and such iirc.Quote:

i agree ill be alittle upset if thy really have art swinging a big at a mob, it should be more of a spirit dart effect. though it will most likely be like mages swinging a staff.

I imagine the auto-attack will be something like Zexion's attacks in KH 368/2 Days.

They aren't even sure summoner will make release so I wouldn't expect to see it any time soon.
-

Considering they aren't done with some of the current classes, we probably won't see much of Arcanist and Summoner till around beta or something.
-
11-24-2012, 07:52 AMZakarnRosewood
I thought they had said arcanist WILL be in the release of ARR but the SMN will come with a later patch. Apparently they already had the arcanist in the gamedata since 1.0 beta but they never implemented it. Now they are just re-purposing it for the SMN.
-
11-24-2012, 08:35 AMBabydollYes I recall them saying this as well :) And in the translation thread in the recent articles they said they will try their very best to have SMN at launch but right now its just maybe/maybe not.Quote:

SMN I doubt we'll ever see till beta time if at all especially since unless they're just being fancy with words, they're over complicating it simply because they don't want to see 'copies' of a summon so they're probably having issues with it functioning just like they had issues with Odin and Alexander functioning properly in XI.Quote:

11-24-2012, 09:20 AMZakarnRosewoodYa, that's what I heard too. it was supposed to have a staff and do ranged damage or something. That was why I said they were re-purposing. A little disappointed I can't summon the primal themselves but I'm ok with an Ifrit powered carby. I think I also heard talk about them looking at adding in other avatars to summon later on? groovy beans!Quote:

So it wasn't fully known what it would do, but these were the basics in the data, so chances are ARN in ARR will likely summon stuff beyond Carbuncle since it's DoT based. -
11-24-2012, 09:32 AMZakarnRosewoodThanks, that was what I saw. Couldn't remember where though. I wonder if they will work that concept in as a different class, Red Mage maybe? The concept is neat, just needs some tweaks.Quote:

The only thing that comes to mind with the "hitting with book" thing is Alouette from La Pucelle, who would hit the protagonist in the head with a thick bible whenever she did/said something dumb.

You might be able to see just how a male/female Babydoll Rapture would look in SMN AF.
Here's hoping! -

/em pulls out the defibrillator
Has anyone seen anything Arcanist related? How about an In game Carby shot our some book beat downs?
SE!? Rukkiri? Anybody? If any moderator can sneak us some info on this dead thread I will be you Valentine...
At your own risk... My love is the jealous type. -
02-15-2013, 09:57 AMAltena
IIRC Arcanist will be ready for release, but Summoner won't be. I believe Yoshi said it in a live letter.
I would personally rather Arcanist being a total mystery until we are able to play it. I don't want to know *everything* about the game, I want to experience some stuff myself. -
02-15-2013, 10:30 AMDestainI get that! So leave this thread and never return! J/K.Quote:

And and and.... C'mon! -

C'mon SE! It's Valentines Day. Show us how much you really love us on the one day of the year when it matters. :) We wanna see Arcanist!

02-15-2013, 10:54 AMAltenaOh don't get me wrong, I am dying for more info, but a part of me wants them to hold back on it because I don't like spoilers.. It's like when someone tells you that Snape kills Dumbledore ;) (I hate Harry Potter).Quote:
