Almost everyones answer : What they want them to do with summoner

Theyll rework it again in order to fit another demi , assuming they still go with the 3 rule. Hopefully they understand that current demi system is stupid and its just stupid ,cause with current logic adding demis just makes rotation timer +1min. The egi gameplay will propably get some tweaks , not rework just tweaks cause it seems the ruin 4 resource management is made to stay. Energy drain will either get removed or reversed , hopefully if they remove it theyll replace it with something.
Worst case scenario the job will be oversimplified but it will never be remade from scratch. Like it or not the job is involved with alot of plot and giving good justification and explanation to its design , it cant be reworked and removed without leaving a massive plothole and alienating alot of peeps.
What plot exactly outside of the job quests? Despite being Allagan in origin, almost everything we know about SMN is self-contained in the job quests for it. Those are the only things that would need hefty rewrites and even then it would only be the single point about aetheric limitations capping us at 3 egi. The demis have no rule of 3 because the trance system is a way for us to circumvent our own limited aether re: the egi dilemma.

Just like AST cards, SMN could easily see a total overhaul. Similarly, they could move the Ruin IV proc to nearly anything else depending on what they do. It existing has no bearing on what happens with egi moving forward. Everyone's speculations on the future of the job are valid.
