After i read this i was extremely pissed and disappointed on how we can summon primals. Like really one summon per world? your saying a lucky server gets ifrit and the others cant get it? Or the whole whoever gets lucky on finding the roaming primal gets to hold it for 2 weeks and only can summon it once. So meaning once someone catches it no one can summon a primal for 2 weeks and to top it off you have to charge the gauge up ><. honestly i understand how the whole primals are demigod blah blah blah but thats a little bit to extreme my favorite class of all time is summoners and to see it get stepped on is enough for me. I seriously hope they bring back the XI summoning back i loved it so much ><. Was so sure Yoshi said his favorite class is summoner but the way i see it I dont think there will be a summoner class like XI. I know they confirmed their will be a summoner class but >< 2 weeks and only can use it once is just not a summoner class im sorry. Hopefully this is just a pending idea and he wants to see what we think about it. Let me just put this aside their are many hardcore ls and botters out there i remb XI where we were stuck 40-50 hours because of dam hardcore ls stopping us from getting anything. My opinion this will destroy whoever is looking forward to summoner class.

Knew this for months, but hey whoever said the life of a smn would be fun?

[Holy_Dragoon]

Unfortunately for yourself, this is not new news. Those who have followed closely know that this was talked about in interviews upwards of a year ago. Everyone seemed pretty interested at the time.

I don't think this is how summoner job will work. At least..I hope not >.> I am hoping we get lesser summons as our pets to fight along side us. If not then idk what smn role would be...stand around and stare until the free company decides to use the prime? That would be retarded lol. Lot of people seem against this...and he claims to be open to feedback...

[Airget]

Ya the Primals which rule over the Beastmen were always going to be like this. When it comes to Evoker/Summoner they'll be able to summon but it'll be lesser entities like Carbuncle or Mist Dragon, nothing grand like Ifrit, Garuda, Levi, Titan or any other Primal which is considered a god.

Unfortunately for you... you can't read correctly or have not been following any of the info at all in this. Summoners will not be summoning the primals they will instead be summoning lesser avatars. Yes the Free Company that finds the wandering primal on that server and defeats it gets the ability to summon the primal and hold it for a set time... They said 2 weeks but Yoshi is still unsure of how long it will really be.

NOTE!!! This is not the summoning job or the class that goes with it and has nothing to do with those things at all... really now... I swear I wish when you humans jumped at things like this it was near a cliff so I wouldn't have to put up with your race much longer...

The cat is bemused =-.-=

Like said above, this is obviously not new but do't be so dissapointed! What Yoshi was describing wasn't the summoner job/class but a special ability for Free Companies to summon primals. There will be a summoner class/job in the future, but instead of primals you will have the ability to summon lesser creatures such as (just for example) Siren, Carbuncle, Pheonix, etc.

Seriously, calm down xD I think you just misunderstood what he was talking about.

Or Typhoon, or Cait sith.

Olde news es olde. Honestly, I'm rather happy there is going to be a system of lesser and greater summons. In all the traditional FF games summoner characters were something rare and powerful. FFXI cheapened that, and worse, made the summoner job itself rather lackluster.

For them to separate out a higher class of summons and create a summoner class that's toned down expectation wise, we can have a bit of both worlds.

[nibelunc]

I don't get why it is a problem when everyone has his own Ifrit. In the game everyone is the adventure hero and everyone plays the same story. It's an MMO after all. I was never able to play summoner in FFXI but it looked so great and I really looked forward to see this in FFXIV too. It's sad to have the legendary Final Fantasy summons hidden in such a great game...

If we get summons like Typhon or Fenrir or even Cait Sith as a summoner, I am not that sad, then the idea is kind of special, but why should everyone have a Typhon by the same theory?

[neorei]

essence of ifirt?

kinda like having a mini verison or a follower of ifirit or something like that, i'm not sure what the hell i'm saying. but someone take my idea and make it better lol.
