Make completely new summons for summoner.

[Bowen]

Are they even going to add a summoner class?

Yes, there was an interview before in which Yoshida said that they were planning it.

[Forte]

If they do it would be interesting if, not having each of the gods as a summon, having a primal battle with a servant of each of the gods (eg. Halone would have a primal servant, Menphina would have another and then for summoners they would each drop a different staff that lets you summon a specific primal (the one you beat) Also the primals should fit the gods (eg. Menphina's primal would be something cute like a moogle as shes the Lover god and when you summon it it heals or buffs you...

Now this is what I would like more people to think about; people were like you would never be able to use the "Gods" blah blah blah *see other smner thread* but I like this idea you fight them and then they say ok you fought well Ill let you control a minion or pet of mine here. I think this is how they should be done

I want a busty summon, one with a big butt.

Now my dreams aside I foresee ffxiv going into steampunk heavy dimension.

Hunweapons, gunblade, gunlance already exist..but I foresee the magitech armors and bikes as well as mechanical "summons".

Maybe mech versions of primals created by the garleans to fight them?

What if the Garleans worshiped a Primal themselves. . . Alexander?

they will add a summoner class sometime in the future, not sure if they will add it in 1.21, but past 2.0 for sure, that is the only class i love in any ff game, they must add it, what is ff without summons, healers, black mages, and dragoons, a regular game.

Very likely not 1.21. 1.21 is the Job system and it would be incredibly foolish to add a new class to the game during subscriptions with jobs.

Unless they're going to treat the time between now and 2.0 as true beta testing.

[Betelgeuzah]

2.0 has it's own beetah.

SE has done a terrible terrible job of re-inventing the wheel and I can't believe people are still asking them to do so.

Because people don't want to play the same thing every single time. If SE is incapable of re-inventing the wheel, then we should not reward them for their laziness in rehashing every single time.

SE has re-invented the wheel a dozen times in the previous decade (with reasonable success from design pov) and all fans do is punish them for it.

So get real. People want to play the SAME game over and over again because they liked it the first time and think they will like it as much the second time. "Go back to roots square baawhaaaw".

Mentioning SE and rehash in the same sentence is irony at it's finest considering their franchises have done nothing but change ever since the last decade. All they re-use is the name (because let's be honest, that's what the shallow fans can think about when considering a purchase).

[Tonkra]

Carbuncle... yes please.. we need it. its so "fluffy" ;D

Final Fantasy 12 summons would fit also into FF14:

Belias - fire



Ixion - thunder
