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.

Typhon is also a good possibility =)

Personally i'd rather completely new summons altogether before the the zodiac summons... they are just boring to me not enough definition between them.

I agree with the idea of keeping the current primals out of reach to keep from cheapening their place in the lore but i'm not sure about the idea it just sounds like an easy button at the very least it doesnt deserve priority if thats all it is.

Maybe they could add summons based on the guardian deities. I like the Zodiac ones though personally especially Adramelech for some reason:
