(Un)Official Summoner Feedback Thread [3.0 Edition]

[Saggo]

However, I don't like suggestions like "I want more pets, because that's how the Summoner should be" with the only "constructive argument is "It was like that in previous Final Fantasy".
People need to understand that while every Final Fantasy game has similarites (Some jobs, monsters, bosses, etc), they all have their own concept, lore and gameplay.

Historical precedence is a very powerful tool. More pets would simply be more enjoyable, but they'd offer more utility too, more diversity.

I don't care for pet glamours as a solution, personally, graphics might update but behavior and playstyle wouldn't change and that's what I'd want. At least Carbuncle upgrading to Garuda/Titan gave a potency boost.

We can have other pets, SE could do it, but what would it bring to the table ? If one of the pet we have now is better, we'll use it, if the one of the new ones is better, we'll use it. Even if we had 6 pets, we will only use the best one.

Well two things. One, that's not much different than arguing that only one DPS job is the best at a given time, yet they're balanced pretty well and the have they most variety of any role. Dos, the better pet to use doesn't have to be the same pet for every situation, given survivability, utility, or DPS (resistances and mechanics or the like).
