Is anyone else concerned about 6.0 Summoner?

I mean that is the nature of the beast. Any big changes to a class the people who like it is not going to. That is just how it works.

Summoner was boring before. Long tedious rotation. Dots and all that. The community as a whole did not really like the class. They now changed it, and many people are hyped..but the ones who enjoyed that boring style as it was before are sad they have to give up what they enjoy. It can't be helped. Someone always got to get run over for the rest of us to have fun. That is the nature of mmorpg.


You can't make everyone happy, but now summoner looks like a summoner. So i'm excited for it.

Is that why SMN was one of the most played jobs according to FFLogs? Because people didn't like it?

You really shouldn't say things about the community as a whole unless you actually have statistics.

But anyways, to the people who say "SMN is now a SMN." Is it really?
Last time I checked in FF games, most SMNs were mages that can summon. The summoner identity that you guys are claiming is nothing more than nostalgia fueled dribble.

Rydia black mage that can summon
Garnet and garnet white mages that summon
Yuna? You guess it white mage

FF7? Materia
FF8? Everyone can
6? Oh look materia again

3, 5, 11, and the tactics games are literally the only games with actual smn jobs. And guess? They are either bad or use other magic as a sub job because you literally couldn't summon all the time because it was too costly.

Let's be completely honest. You guys limit what SMN could be because you guys whined and complain that it should perfectly fit into an ideal and anything outside of it was bad.
Does SMN have it issues? Certainly but it was a new idea on SMN that worked and was interesting. Now we get a job that loses all it's flavor so congrats FFXIV community. your complaining probably made another job extremely boring
