I definitely gave smn a shot in its' previous iteration, don't get me wrong. I took leveling it slow, and afterwards went from Sastasha up in order to "earn" my skills as I would've leveling it normally, just to be absolutely sure I didn't like it. I suppose I worded things weird.

Currently, I think it's satisfying because it feels like a loop? If that makes sense. I'd definitely like to see them work on this iteration more, and its' loop-like feel, rather than going back to what it was before - jank pet AI, holding Ruin IV for Bahamut, holding trances for Tri Disaster/Holding Tri Disaster for trances, keeping up buffs. It never felt like I was "summoning" things, or using the full breadth of my abilities. Just keeping one summon out (Always the "right" summon, BTW) and keeping track of way too much. Now it feels like I'm "summoning" things, using them up, and holding them to summon again.

Like I said, just my opinion.
