Summoners .... what will they summon?

[Elexia]

Look at FFX as well, in a summoner fight we couldn't summon the same aeon as the other summoner used, because there was only one fayth for each summon.

Actually, this is where they screwed up, because in a later cutscene in the game we could clearly see that more than 1 can exist at a time, the rules for the 1vs1 fight were they can't use the same aeons to fight each other, not that it wasn't possible.

It does cheapen it, but in FFXI it made sense overall considering they were images (Avatars) of the actual god so multiple copies could exist, the reason it would cheapen it in XIV is because the gods are alive and active, so there's a good chance we're going to be getting 'Avatars' again of things like Carby/Cait Sith/Fenrir.

carbuncle, elementals, im guessing stuff like that.

Just to be honest, people would be really disappointed summoning elementals.

Wish I knew...lol I always play summoner classes in games so I am planning on making this my main (Until Dancer comes out..if ever.)

I am hoping we get avatars...like the little cute ones low level (Carbuncle, Cait Sith, Sylph, Cactaur, Tonberry) and of course some avatars for high level..like Phoenix, Ixion, Lich, Salamader, Hades..IDK. I just really hope this time we get Phoenix. Also very curious to know what kind of role will summoner play. I am hoping for DD and dot heavy..kind of like Aion's Spiritmaster.

we should get Bahamut bring summoner back to its roots glady exchange all the original primals for Bahamut

Considering Phoenix is resurrection and was extremely overpowered in FFIX, I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up as a Primal rather than lesser, since so far the primals are gods of their particular element and worshiped...a primal of life would definitely be one to be worshiped lol.

Since as we see people complain about having to do leg work, so in order to get Phoenix's AoE raise on wipe you'd have to collect Pinnions and we know how ell that'll go down with the community, even if it's helpful ; ;

Bahamut is FF's most popular and one of the most powerful Summons, no way it will be a Summoner pet. It will probably not even going to be in game come 2.0. They will probably introduce him later in a expansion and i wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't summonable primal either.

They will probably summon like what the Kobold Stronghold Boss summons

I dont like this. Ifrit, shiva etc. these are avatars i want to call. Im not happy with how they are treating them. SMN is my fav job and i am not happy. But i will wait to see what they are doing we have little info on it so im not gonna hate to much but what i have heard i do not like.

A summoner without a summon is just not what FF fans are used to.

In fact, this new summon system feels more FF-ish to me than the FFXI pet job that summoner was.

Well some FF it was a pet Job other it was abilities that everyone could use.
