A World of possibilities for summoners.

[syntaxlies]

actually, Yoshi said he wanted community feedback on which summons a summoner should have (besides the primals obviously.)

arnt you the one that said you cant give feedback til something is in game and you try it first, yep pretty sure you said that,lol

This is the closest I can find:

GameWatch - Job Summoner where you can summon spirits will also be implemented?
YoshiP - We will eventually implement. Pet users are star in MMORPG class. For example carbuncle is a summon a summner can call however “Ifrit” or “Garuda” or “Leviathan” or “Odin” are gods.

I know there was a better one out there but I can't find it at the moment.

Oh my, how clever of you! Except that doesn't work in this case.

Yeah there was another interview where he mentions it. There's also a thread here somewhere that was made specifically for it after it was mentioned lol.

If you can give me the source I'll admit you're right.

So then we're both kind of right, they're not going to let us summon Primals as the summoner class but they're considering lesser avatars and whatnot. At the same time they're asking what kinds of lesser things we'd like to summon. In the Gamerescape interview they mention Summoner maybe being a job that comes off the Beastmaster class, as such summoning a monster of some sort wouldn't be that far-fetched if you already know how to handle them. So yeah, no confirmation on that front but it's a distinct possibility then. Could have sworn those words were used somewhere but maybe it was just a dream.

Gamer Escape: There was a tame ability mentioned as well, so does that mean Beastmaster as well?

Yoshida: Yes. The foundation or system for using pets in battle is currently being made. So yes in the future there will be a beast tamer type of class. Again, it’s all about that adding one class means adding more jobs and all these extra things. So all these jobs won’t come at the same time. It’s all about the priorities, but it is on the list and we are making preparations for it.
Like one idea could be for example maybe having a beast tamer class and that job would be like a summoner type of job.

Gamer Escape: So from bunnies to primals then?

Yoshida: Yeah, yeah, I think seeing how far you could take that class or take that job could be really interesting.

hmmm I'd rather summoner just summon aetherial beings lol. we will see what happens!

[grandm]

one thing yoshi did say in an interview i read (i'm not looking for the link). he said summoner was one of his fav jobs. this would suggest it will be more a team player than in FF11

[Spellbinder]

This leaves one to wonder, what aetherial beings would they consider to not be "Gods" other than Carbuncle... *ponders*

[syntaxlies]

im a bit upset that there is a world of possibilitys for summoners when my glad is just a world of disappointment.
