What are your thoughts on 2.0's summoning system?

This information is extremely old.

Well this information is only a month old. From my search I was unable to find any other threads on the topic, so I feel that I'm fully entitled to start one.

I love his idea for summoning primals because in-game they are pretty much deities so it makes sense that they would be a big thing and the world's weather changing sounds awesome.

I'm glad you're looking forward to the content. I'm not against the idea of summoning them either, it's cool I guess, but what I was getting as is what's the point supposed to be? I don't think many people are going to bother to go through all the trouble to camp a primal every two weeks, and then do all the work to be able to actually summon it afterwards just to see a flashy animation and some nice dmg.

Summoner will still be around and will summon lesser beings, they've said so a million times already. Stuff like Carbuncle and if the 2.0 concept art is any indication, Fenrir and Cait Sith.

I expect you're right, but considering Fenrir usually exists in the same relm as Shiva and the others, I was kind of expecting to see something different for SMN. Like maybe the Summons from FFXII.

Yeah that's it!
Sry for mistakes and misunderstanding

Don't be ^^

More like players will try to hide or mislead other linkshells as to their status. I get the feeling this will lead to anything but cooperative communication across competing shells.

Exactly my thoughts as well.
