    We don't want the FFXI SMN....

    I think people are missing the point. We are not saying we want ARR's SMN to be changed to its XI counterpart. We are just citing that as an example to show it is possible to have a more pet focused job in an MMO, and therefore possible to implement a more Egi focused play style to the ARR SMN.

    Personally I enjoy playing the current SMN. However I can also admit to its faults that need changing. I do not expect to be able to summon a full Primal, nor should we (unless as an LB) but what I do think we need is for the SMN's new abilities to start becoming more focused on the Egi and commanding it. Which is something I bet SE will do anyways as a natural form of job progression. I would also like to see slightly larger Egi, but as long as the play style becomes more focused on the Egi then I'm happy enough with that.

    The only danger is if it is too pet focused then we could miss out on potential dps. Pet dies and you are minimally contributing. The balance is real. But I would love a bigger EGI so it doesn't get lost in the chaos.

    This is true, becoming too reliant on the Egi could become troublesome so a balance definitely needs to be maintained. But right now it often feels like the Egi fades into the background, so some new Egi focused abilities might help tie it into the play style more. I would also love to see some bigger Egi though for sure. Nothing too crazy, but at least something that is comparable to the size of our Chocobo companion.
