I just hope SE doesn't screw petjobs over.

Every other aspect of this game is QQd over and demanded to be quality.

Petjobs get shafted often: which sucks because they have a lot to offer to party dynamics which means better battle content.

Just want something that works. I loved PUP, BST, and SMN. But out of the three SMN honestly got shafted hard because SE made that stupid perpetuation cost BS.

Thats the type of BS that needs to be avoided.

I'm by no means saying that petjobs should be OP. I agree that bslancing makes sense but not when it forces us to be subpar PUP, BST tanks/DDs or SMN buff/support/damage.

These jobs can still maintain their unique gameplay mechanics without being subjected to social exclusion.

Cause lets be real: the fun party of a job/class is How you play it differently than another.

Thats the fun of it all: seeing all that uniqueness come together in a challenging battle system and feeling accomplished for doing so well as a uniquely skilked team.
i completely agree, i've been waiting for smn since the game came out and its sickening to think that se can ruin what made smn a classic and big part of the ff games. they have always summoned the classic aeons like titan, ifrit, shiva. why would they ruin that now. i dont care if smn's will be able to summon some little thing that i dont care about, its not the same without the classics. and to think that some dragoon or some warrior will be able to summon ifrit while im in the background playing with my fire elemental or whatever they have me summon, is just stupid.
i dont care if its on a crazy grand scale, in ffxi it made sense that you were summoning just a part of it and not the actual thing. bring that back! at least it will feel like a ff game for a SUMMONER to summon an aeon.
i thought we were moving away from this "everyone will be able to do everything" kind of gameplay when speciallized jobs came out but i guess not.
if se is gonna crush classic summoner lovers then at least give us some good news and not just drop bombs on us everywhere. all i ever here is summoner wont be able to do this, or that
