[To the DEVS] Global Summoning system: Has it been scrapped?

[cryptic_angel]

I wonder what the point of them would be? Just a cool factor?

Cause I don't there's any open-world content that would warrant any help of something like a primal. Maybe Odin or Behemoth, but that's it.

Pretty much this. Why make content that serves no purpose..... Oh wait, that happens every patch.... Never mind.

I don't know what game you're talking about but if you think they've ever added content that serves no purpose in this game... then that's laughable.

What does fishing serve outside of being able to do more fishing? You hit level 50 fishing and just put it away for ever or do more fishing. Fishing serves no other purpose, it even is a poor way to make gil.

The sightseeing log, less than 2000 peopel world wide have completed it. Seems widely popular to me....... /sarcasm off

Have you been playing after 2.3? You can get several glamour pieces from fish desynth.

None of those materials are exclusive to fishing. Fishing still sucks pretty hard.

Fishing is just one example.

What about daily mark bills? Those seem worthless to me. How many Ramuh EX parties do you see in PF? I don't see many if any at all. SE releases content all the time that is DoA

Not materials. Actual glamour pieces. And they are fishing only as far as I know.

Also, in response to the OP, I don't think summoners want this huge game-breaking experience like you describe. It sounds more to me like they want a pet job similar to ffix's summoner, where the summon was actually a decent size, looked like their larger counterparts, and did better attacks/more damage. One similar complaint I've seen is that they're mostly DoT attackers, which is also very different from previous iterations of summoner. They're just looking for a more final fantasy-esque type of summoner, but not necessarily one that requires a 10 minute intro video a la KotR.

I wish it was decent styled primal class, but the open world summoning of primals is actually what Yoshida was talking about (and OP). lol

Yoshida brought it up a long time ago even before FCs were in the game :P.

The thing is an MMO is a totally different enviroment than an offline RPG. I think it was a mistype and you were trying to reference the FFXI's summoner which is also very different in its own right. It wasnt nearly as impactful and didnt really leave any room for growth and expansion on the job. Remember the elementals you got to summon? I akin the current egi's to the elementals you summoned in FFXI. Later on, once more Primals are introduced, I don't see any reason they couldnt expand on the amount of different summons you get. There are at least 3 more egi's to come with the 3.0 expansion and "if we were to release more summons now for the summoner it would outbalance the other jobs. We will be releasing more content for summoners in the first payed expansion 3.0 along with a level cap raise and more skills for other jobs as well. Please look forward to it."

I take it you dont like fishing. fair enough. Thank you for your opinion. I don't see why, since you find it pointless, it should be removed from the game. Yes I'm putting words in your mouth but if you think it is so pointless, like the sightseeing, why should it stay?
