Summoner Changes

[Ryuko]

I really wonder if I'm alone in this... but...

I played the FFXI Summoner, and I loved the FFXI Summoner. It was my favorite job.

I now play the FFXIV Summoner, and I love the FFXIV Summoner. It is my favorite job.

They're two very different jobs but with respect to both the game lore and the overall functionality of the games, they make sense in their own way.

A long time ago, it was mentioned by the dev team that Free Companies would have the ability to 'capture' roaming primals to use at their whim. These primals would have a timer and once used, would disappear back to the world for some other FC to find and capture. This obviously hasn't been implemented or spoken about in a while... but I always hoped that the person needed to actually call upon these temporary primals once captured would be a summoner. Maybe they'd have to 'initiate' the summoning, similar to the way limit breaks are used (except this is a one time use). It's unlikely, as they don't want to give one job an advantage other jobs don't have, but... that's always been my little dream.

I kinda get the feeling that this has become a feature that is going to apply only to frontlines PvP.
