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.If they really wanted to go the route of summoning an Eidolon for a single attack(doubtful since they dropped that idea since FFX when they turned 'em into Pokemon), I don't see what other kind of "pet" class they could add, Maybe Puppetmaster or something similar could make a return once the Garlean Empire story arc is in full swing.
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).Alexander & Odin are summonable in FF11. It was quite a ways into ToAU's lifetime though. They are only active during 2-hr and don't last long. Was a bit lame, but they have their uses.
In FF11 they follow you around, but what if for FF14 anyone could summon (like some FF's) where they appear for a short time, do something, and then disappear (i know pet class enthusiasts would hate this)?
It would also make the summons look lame, like any joe can just have ifrit tag along with them. The appearances of the summons in this game do not scream "garden variety"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!
Goodbye, Final Fantasy...
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
