Could the New Summoner Limit Break be EPIC Summon Attacks? (or, OMG FF XV's Ramuh!)

[Miyu20]

The Summon in FFXV will never happen because it takes way too damn long and two, (which someone already mentioned) imagine the server if at one given time, every instance occurring at that time had one "Epic" summon go off. You're delusional OP, learn more about servers and how they work.

I think a simple suggestion to make summoners a little more cool (not that they are not cool already, I know many really good looking summoners and Zeta for summoners is Sweet!) is to have the hair stylist have more haircuts like the characters in previous FFs so you could see Rydia's and Yuna's running around. I already see Ashelia's running around.

Oh come on...no one is actually asking for it to be that grand (like the one in FFXV). I think what the OP is really meaning is they want SMN to feel more like SMN and less slip-damage like (as they have never been utilized this way in any FF in the history of FF games and spin-offs).

Well yeah, but at the end of the day, isn't taking things out of context and deliberately misinterprating people exactly what MMO forums are all about?

Really all is needed is for blm and smn to have their own lb (same goes for other classes melee being another example). While they have mentioned changes the limit breaks will most likely have the same results but it is sounding more along the lines that each class will have different limit break animations. Summons and lb's would be cool, just i do not see it happening

The first thing I did after awing myself over the Ramuah summon in ffxv is think of ffxiv's summons and laugh. Then I got a little jealous! It would be amazing if ffxiv could bring a little more spunk to the summoners of eorzea in the form of LB.

You should learn to READ before launching attacks on people. Sigh.

I never asked for the classic Final Fantasy Summons to be spammable or used as some regular attack at any time.

I suggested that since we're getting a New Summoner Limit Break in 3.0, I hope Yoshi P considers making a nod to the epicness of the classic Summons, inspired by XV's Ramuh Judgement Bolt. Consider how long the current LB3 lasts for BLM (Meteor) and ends up blinding everyone playing for a while, LOL, there's plenty of room / timing to create something unique and epic that gives us that feeling of being a Summoner.

you simply compare a solo game and a mmorpg.... that soo silly, do you imagine what will happend with 2-3 summoner into a group? in the classical FF when a summon was invoker you clearly see the other member of the team vanish, in the FF15 video, you see ramuh take noctis away from the area for not harm him...(we still wonder how the other did survive this)

what you want and what is possible are totally different. even in limit it will be too dangerous and will be a trouble if it too much.... i means you launch the lb summoner and blam the boss do a mechanic you don't see because of the lb animation, we already have the trouble with the meteor that make the screen flash.

Random idea: What if for SMN LB, you transform into the Primal like a certain somebody does? Gain a new bar of abilities, maybe a party wide buff during it too, and depending on how many bars were consumed would determine what attack you used at the end of it? Of course, the Primals' signature abilities would be the level 3 version.

I don't think they would ever put a LB in with controllable abilities.

I don't think we should ever speak to what they can/could/would/won't do in this game. They destroyed one version of it to build it back up into something different, no one (unless a representative from Square-Enix) can speak to those terms. The OP is merely offering up an idea (a rather cool one, and fits with the classic summoner that a majority of all summoner main players enjoy). As for a summon being SMN's LB3, Astrologian is apparently getting a pretty powerful LB3 that is reminiscent of FFT Orran's Celestial Stasis (Galaxy Stop).

The level three limit break for Astrologian is Celestial Stasis (Galaxy Stop)!

With Heavensward, you'll be replacing some of the limit breaks with unique ones - can you talk about any specifically?
Y: Level three limit breaks will be unique for all jobs. We plan to show the one for dragoon first, it's quite cool.

Do you plan to explain the performance of the limit breaks in something like a producer letter LIVE?
Y: I think we'll do something where we show the dragoon level three limit break at the end.

Will the level one and two limit breaks be the same as before?
Y: Yes, they'll be the same. Also, the existing level three limit breaks, like Last Bastion and Meteor, will each be one of the job-specific skills.

Normally, I'd expect the level three black mage limit break to be Meteor.
Y: Yes, even though black mage is my main, it will be a little lonely (laughs). Summoner is also a caster, but an original one will be added for it.

So Last Bastion for tanks will be specific to paladin or warrior.
Y: Yes, it'll be like that.

How will the bard's ability change?
Y: It will be changed to a DPS-type limit break. At level 3, perhaps it will look like a giant laser (laughs).

What about the ones for new jobs?
Y: For Astrologian, we wanted to somehow include Celestial Stasis (from Orran in Final Fantasy Tactics), but since the game needs to continue to advance in real time as an MMORPG, we couldn't really stop time....

So did you provide any instruction?
Y: I said that they should give it the feeling that time stopped and the allies were recovered. What actually happens is a bit over the top.

So its not completely out of the question that Summoner's might get to summon a primal for their LB3. If you think its a matter of being over powered there is a thing call adjusting the damage they can do...So I'm not really sure why anyone is against a summoner...well summoning.
