Summoner a whole disappointment for pet-class lovers?

[Elexia]

Yes, we dont have that many information for now concerning the new summoner job.. but what we know so far is that he only will have 4 pets to summon (seems to be due to 5 skill restriction for jobs. thank you SE) and the new artwork... where it seems that the summons for the job wont be "real pets".

it looks like they will be just "essences" of the big primaes and end up as super animated one-hit attack spell? .

If it does you shouldn't complain because this is what Summoners always was. Its actually the rule of summoners, FFX/FFXI for example were the exception.

also for those of you that had it in their head that we will be restricted to 5 class abilities (even on your main class) based off some of the newer screens (I'm assuming that is what you are basing it off of) Well here is a screen that negates such assumptions



Easily more than 5 class skills

1: that screen shot is older than gamescom or 25th event Screen shots.
2: They havent yet said anything or even tried to do anything about abilities revamp which we dont know anything about.
3: that screen shot has 3k tp so no its even pre pre pre pre pre pre- alpha shot.

Very accurate. Pretty much before X, the huge excitement about a summoner was just seeing the one ability / animation the summon would do, they never hung around. It's kind of like in FFIV, whenever you defeated the actual Summon, such as Queen Asura, Odin, or Bahamut, they would say "I will lend you my power." I think it's sticking to it pretty well

+ Class Skills are different from Job Skills which are the ones currently limited to 5 so I don't know what this screenshot has to do with what people are assuming here.

Is anyone on these forums happy with anything ever? Well... except starlord, I think that guy takes some sort of happy pills.

Maybe we'll get lucky and the 4 skills won't be the summons themselves and they'll have us fight the primals to get the summons like in 11 and those 4 skills will change depending on what we chose to summon? Perhaps a new equipment slot similar to the Job slot for Summons? IE equip Ifrit, summon ifrit, 4 abilities for ifrit become equipped? (That way you didn't give SMN a new ability for calling each summon)

Too much to ask for I suppose ~

(Yes I read the thing and know that's not what we are getting)

because people are assuming we will be restricted to 5 class skills in 2.0 hence why people think Summoner wont have access to carbuncle.

Going off the 25th anniversary event, Yoshida made it sound like summoner will get pets and not attacks other than the 5th skill. Main reason for this is because he said that each pet plays a different role (DD, Tank, Healer, Support?). The way they made it sound like is that summoner will be able to summon an elemental pet (doesn't sound like elementals) that uses the primal's powers. So maybe it's something like you summon Siren with Garuda's powers?

And FFXII ;XD ... and FFXIII ;XD

so all parts after FFX actually.

No Starlord is just able to wait for more info before surrendering to his fingers' madness.

You have my apologises.
