[Dev 1082] Summoner Design Concept

[Perrin_Aybarra]

Here's the issue: the original uses of SMN did make them effective healers, buffers and DDs in previous titles: but it was not the capability of every single summon; yet rather the way the summoner used the summons for their individual capabilities; that's what made SMN fun; that's what being a SMN is all about

True, I wish also that they could be effective in any sphere of the game if the player is skilled and plays his jobs properly. An unskilled summoner would have trouble managing it all but a skilled one should be able to take advantage of it and be effective at anything.

Also having to equip them on you bar should somewhat limits you on what you can do on a given fight so you need to prepare accordingly for your role before a fight.
