[To the DEVS] Global Summoning system: Has it been scrapped?

None of those materials are exclusive to fishing.

Not materials. Actual glamour pieces. And they are fishing only as far as I know.

Also, in response to the OP, I don't think summoners want this huge game-breaking experience like you describe. It sounds more to me like they want a pet job similar to ffix's summoner, where the summon was actually a decent size, looked like their larger counterparts, and did better attacks/more damage. One similar complaint I've seen is that they're mostly DoT attackers, which is also very different from previous iterations of summoner. They're just looking for a more final fantasy-esque type of summoner, but not necessarily one that requires a 10 minute intro video a la KotR.

I wish it was decent styled primal class, but the open world summoning of primals is actually what Yoshida was talking about (and OP). lol

Yoshida brought it up a long time ago even before FCs were in the game :P.

No, the OP says that "what summoners are asking for their job to be like won't be as great as they think." Or something along those lines. So he was talking about the job itself as well.

I'm a huge FF fan and I understand what most of you want out a summoner job but what you are asking for I dont think will bring you the level of satisfaction you are hoping for. This is how the devs feel about the job as well (correct me if I'm wrong). I really wish we could get some more current information on the status of the system but I read where their vision for the job is to have a Global Summoning System attached to the FC's.

OP is thinking that FC summons, like you said, would be tied to the summoner job instead of having the revamps that summoners have been asking for since launch. And the revamps that summoners are asking for isn't to have some huge summon that the FC summon seems to be like, but rather the changes that I already mentioned (among others, I'm sure).

The thing is an MMO is a totally different enviroment than an offline RPG. I think it was a mistype and you were trying to reference the FFXI's summoner which is also very different in its own right. It wasnt nearly as impactful and didnt really leave any room for growth and expansion on the job. Remember the elementals you got to summon? I akin the current egi's to the elementals you summoned in FFXI. Later on, once more Primals are introduced, I don't see any reason they couldnt expand on the amount of different summons you get. There are at least 3 more egi's to come with the 3.0 expansion and "if we were to release more summons now for the summoner it would outbalance the other jobs. We will be releasing more content for summoners in the first payed expansion 3.0 along with a level cap raise and more skills for other jobs as well. Please look forward to it."
