Summoners: Please give us actual summons to make us feel like a Summoner please.

I like the idea of what they did for Yuna in Dissidia Duodecim. The partial appearance of the summon to perform an attack, would actually make us seem or feel more like a real summoner, having control over the primal. Using just enough power to control parts of them but not fully bring forth the full power to have them roam. Plus with Blue mage, the skills are already in the game and usable so it could open the pathway to let the summoner cast Eruption with Ifrit's arm slamming down, Ramuh's Thunderbolt with just his arm manifesting and raising his rod, Garuda's wings forming and flapping for the vortex spell and so on. Though this would then in turn involve redoing all the previous Summoner quests.

I've been saying that for years ><

I 100% agree with this. Leave the play style the same as it is right now, just change the animations for the abilities to look like we are summoning the primal to do said attack. That way you don't have to worry about people not being able to see because a physical summon is to big and obstructs your view. The Egi system is really kind of silly at this point, and the only thing Summoner is missing from making it feel like a summoner is the appearance of the summons. Change the visuals and we're good.
