[Dev 1082] Summoner Design Concept

[SuzakuCMX]

It could be that you don't actual summon the primal itself but a weaker avatar of him. Would explain why many SMN can have the same avatar out and their weakness compared to the actual primal.

I'd rather have us be the avatars and then be able to summon them for their ultimate attack though :S

EDIT: No, we are entreating them to help us. In X the relationship between a Summoner and an Aeon was like a lover's bond. Pre-VIII and in IX, they were just "help me out with a huge attack plox." In X you could control them, but they were also not gods (they were just a collection of spirits if I recall correctly). In XII, they weren't gods, either, they were just powerful beings that rebelled against the gods and joined the players because it was the only way they could get out of the Mist. In XIII....fuck XIII, damn it.

In this game, they are actual gods.

EDIT2: Oh and "ridiculous RPness" in an MMORPG? Lmao.
