The only thing I hated about it was having to resummon them after EVERY level. But considering how long it can take to get a level sometimes, that's a mild complaint. Shantotto still best destroyer.

I feel like it was made to encourage community interaction. I still remember one of the boat rides I took in that game. BRD telling a story while the DNC did their dance, then all of a sudden the ship gets attacked by an NM. The BRD stopped, the DNC stopped, and everybody on ship banded together to defeat the NM. Then we ended the ride with the BRD telling a ballad about how we all destroyed the NM together. It's something I don't think FFXIV will ever be able to compare with, outside of Eureka.
