While I agree with the sentiment of somehow getting more of that "classic Final Fantasy Summoner" feeling (via jaw-dropping Summon Attacks, etc.), the limitations of having hundreds of Players (all w/ the Summoner "Pets" out at once in a crowded area) is an unfortunate reality and limitation.

I made a suggestion a while back about maybe paying tribute to the classic Final Fantasy Summoner feeling via:

* New Summoner Limit Breaks in 3.0.

It's certainly a way to give a bit of that feeling, while limiting it to only major battles in Raids where you can amass a Level 3 LB and use it. And it's not like it's spammable.

Win-win. I hope they consider it.
