    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!"
