The whole Summoner "has been re-worked" is sad

[Mugiawara]

I'll wait until I actually play the jobs before I say if the job is lackluster or not.

We have been, for years...and for years we've pleaded to do something to SMN.
Then they need to learn how to make them more equal to each other.
We are summoners...we're suppose to Summon...Summons. That's the whole point.
They just keep messing them up. They gave you more ACN skills than summons? Lol.

Eeeh... More like 5.

FFVII they are pretty powerful (Knights of the Round...).
FFVIII they are powerful, used for junctioning, and can be used to tank damage.
FFIX they can be incredibly powerful, and Garnet/Dagger's Trance makes them more useful (Atomos is broken if you have enough Amethyst).
FFX they are incredibly powerful and are useful for killing anything too powerful for your regular characters. They are like super charged, OP party members.
FFXIII they are useful for knocking Turtles down so you can spam Death with Vanille for easy wins (also fully healing your party is awesome).
