(Endwalker) Summoner goes into the right direction but i'd like to see permanent pets

[Vahlnir]

Well there are actually more Titles where the summons are persistent in the last decade or 20 years. Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XI Online, Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Type-0 and Final Fantasy VII Remake.
And in my opinion these are also the better systems than having a "fire and forget" animation and calling it "summoner".

Additionally we literally dont have any petclass in this MMORPG... but many casters and melee fighters.
Secondly it would make the summoner distinct from other casters such as red mage or white mage who are already casting wind and fire and earth spells..

And then you have to show me even one Final Fantasy title where the summoner job is casting wind, fire and earth spell by his own... and even worse: is attacking with his bare fists like a monk in melee range.
So i actually "dont know, where you get that"

So .... now you.

FF7, FF8, FF9...

And even earlier than that, have summons appear to do their thing and vanish. I'd say there's more of a precedence for that, hence why people are excited to see Summoner return to its roots.

FF7, FF8, FF9 dont have a summoner class.

And since we are playing an MMORPG pet classes are a thing, you know. (for some players at least)

FF7, FF8, FF9 dont have a summoner class.

But they have summons.

But they have summons.

No Summoner in FF history is fighting in monk melee fighter style. No.

I'm aware of that, but thanks!
