Summoner Summons

[ClaireFury]

so i was wondering what do you think would be the chances of making it so summoners being able to summon the standard primals like leviathan, shiva, ifrit, etc. cause it would be awesome if they made it where the summoners limit break ability could do that, like if there were different limit break settings that the summoner could choose from different primals, and that was the only one they could summon until they were out of the instance they were in.

0% unfortunately.

It's a creative idea and a lot of people hate Egis but they won't be changed out for anything.

As for the limit break, we've been told since launch that they will be changing it so that every class has a unique animation. Don't hold your breath, it will probably take until the first expansion or longer.

As an alternate looking limit break - totally viable for summoner I think - as standard summons similar to the ones in FFXI - I don't think so :/

I wish, I truly wish. It would have been nice to just have a mini version of the actual summons... instead of the egis. Just the actual primal models, only x100 smaller... just like in FFXI (although they were the same size there.)

I hope SMN get to full summons, like transform their current egi into the full primal to do a large AoE. Though as others have said, I think summoners will only ever regularly summon egis of the various primals.

This is one of my biggest dissapointments with this game is the egi system, i was a huge fan of summoner in FFXI due to your towering summons, one of my favorite being Fenrir, here we just have little avatars that shoot beams, but sadly i don't see it being changed unless they rework the system entirely, i'm afraid this is a "deal with it" situation,

But on the other hand, SMN is no joke when it comes to damage output. unlike FFXI...but that is another topic alltogether.

I really hope there is a unlock to or spell for this purpose. To try and veer away from the Egi's look silly x10000 time thread that SE /blacklisted, I'll just say that I really miss the classics. Really.

An overdrive spell that makes them temporarily look classical or something. A limit break that makes the party cutely dash off the screen and back on would be awesome (like in single player FF games). Something.

I like playing summoner, I dislike looking at my summoner.. lol

well i also more mean this for like the limit break system, like when the primals themselves use their special attack, and the more limit break bar you have the stronger it will be, and unfortunately i know the is little chance for it but one can hope right, because also it would kinda go back to like the older final fantasies where you summoned a primal, GF, summons, and eidolons and they did there attack and then departed the battle field

The only reason SMNs could have the giant summons in FFXI was because the world was much larger (with a lot, a LOT more empty space). Have fun trying to click ANYTHING with every SMN keeping a life size Titan out all the time.

What i don't get is why they can't actually look like miniature primals? We have minions that are basically miniature everything as options to follow us around, what's the issue with reskinning them to look like the actual primals? Or hell take it one step further and let summoners reskin their egis with any available minion they possess (which would include, when implemented, five or six new minions related to the Primals)
It wouldn't hard anything AND give an added reason to collect more pokem- i mean, minions.
