I swear if one more person or thread brings up SMN not being a "real SMN" I'm gonna scream. It is a "real SMN", because there is no such thing as a "real SMN"; they are different in each version. I honestly thought the masses realized this by now.

Thematically, they are fine, but you are allowed to not like the mechanics of the job. And preferring how another version handled something is fine, we are all going to like different things. But, just because this version doesn't do something another did doesn't make it any less real.

Also, just let it be know that summons by their very nature are meant as visual appeal not a mechanical one. Many players who played XI when it was at its peak have stated they prefer XIV's version because it's more engaging. It's SMN, while flashy was just that, flashy; all style no substance, the substance mostly came from the sub-job. And if a majority of your contributions came from your sub-job what purpose do the summons hold besides being glorified eye candy that are able to attack or use a skill every so often... wait that sounds familiar doesn't it.

The retort I always use for this arguement, that has yet to fail me is this; when have SCH's ever used fairies? Yet why is no one crying, "I want a real SCH".
