    just make sense honestly.
    Odin would be a rad demi to have (if they let us BECOME odin, and have a melee 3 hit combo)

    But I'd be wary of tacking more demis onto the rotation willy-nilly, as it leaves very little room for the rotation to grow, or it will cause the rotation to become wildly unwieldly.

    I'm honestly far more in favor of having a library of demi summons to use, but only using one full demi per rotation, giving that demi far more influence over the gameplay style (like 60/40~50/50 maintenance/demi phases vs 75/25), and having meaningful gameplay variance at the demi summon choice rather than the maintenance phase. (Say, having one focused around hardcasting and fight confidence (bahamut), one focused around mobility (phoenix), and one focsued on being a greedy bastard (odin), and hell, have one be a very survival/utility focused demi (Thordan or alex) for doing cool solo stuff, or disaster-prog I guess. And just having a priority system based on what the fight calls for.)

    Not that any of this will matter for endwalker though, but I hope they are careful with their next additions to the job.
    'Cause I predict they're going to go into 7.0 and give us the remaining 2.X primals on our post-phoenix maintenance phase, and then as they're prepping for 8.0 they'll go "oh no. We've got no more room on this rotation. 'Guess we'll have to overhaul this again!"

    That would be incredibly cool. Perhaps too cool. "Okay, so as a Summoner, you conjure one pet creature, invoke the powers of three more, do both for an additional two, and use a sword to use the powers of another by allowing it to use it's morphing powers over you while protecting yourself from the mind control aspects with the Echo." "Yes. Did I mention I also use a smattering of other spells to absorb the life force of my foes? I used to poison them but that felt a little off brand."

    I mean zantetsuken is really the primal, odin is just the one who wields it. So it only makes sense.

    Still say we could've gotten a dia/glare-like rebrand/upgrade to our dots that was just us slowly tempering our enemies.
