Another Upset Summoner

I swear people see the stupid light show and did not even listen to anything else and just rampantly defend and go nuts for it. Oh you know that trademark ability of Bahamut that any Final Fantasy fan should recognize..oh wait thats Mega Flare...... WTF is ahk morn? Oh that spell that only 1% of the population has seen, oh okay iam so happy iam getting that

That's easy. Ahk Morn was something new for Bahamut specifically for this game. If you've fought against him, you know it's a crazy light show of doom and honestly it's pretty bad ass. If you've tanked it, it's a lot of 'oh shit' moments back to back. If we can get any of that experience and turn it onto our enemies, it will wreck face. The various 'Flares' are cool and are possibly included in SMN somewhere, but honestly I think the dev team did a great job designing Ahk Morn and I think it's the right choice to add to SMN for this game. BLM already has Flare, I don't personally want to have an ability that can be compared to Flare because someone will get hurt feelings and honestly that means both jobs lose.

Funny thing about this is when watching the video...Even though it LOOKS like Ahk Morn, it doesn't FEEL like Ahk Morn. This is something I'm hardly pleased with and I don't get why others are. To me it's just an empty replica of white light.

Yup, I think that's the 'Flare' line of spells are pretty much reserved for BLM at this point. Giving Mega/Tera/Whatever-Flare to SMN would be too much of a blurring between the two jobs. If any more Flares make it into the game as job skills, they'll be given to BLM.

This way we're more unique with regards to the other jobs (except SCH which we share our base class with ofc).

I'm not really bummed about it. I know we're called Summoner, but I just don't think adding new egis will really do much for us. As to them "promising" new egis, their attitudes and ideas just change over time so it's really just wiser to take it with a "Believe it when I see it." attitude. I'm really just going to save my pitchfork for the 3.0 patchnotes, when we can get a list of what's really gonna happen.


As for Bahamut, I kind of like the fact that Elder Primals do something entirely different to the Summoner than your normal primal. Wonder how that's going to be explained though, can't help but think it'll involve that dungeon that looked like it belonged in FCoB.
