Another Upset Summoner

[WyrahFhurrst]

If I remember correctly, Yoshi said that we wouldn't get a new Egi until after the level cap was raised. We may be at the point the cap is being raised, but that just means that it could happen in any future expansion after this point. I really don't understand the whining people are doing over this. Akh Morn will be fantastic.

Literally every job today had multiple exciting new things.

No. Nothing exciting was mentioned for Ninja.

I personally think it's funny. Weren't summoners limited on the powers we could invoke per lore wise? All of a sudden, we can summon the powers of BAHAMUT. I don't know~

No different than summoning any other primal, IMO. It's still not the full size primal.

But calling the powers of an Elder Primal? Don't you think Summoners have more power than what the Lore is implying? Or am I just assuming too much?

If we beat him, it's not outside the realm of possibility that we can summon him. That's how Summoner works. Beat a Primal, make him your minion to do with as you please. If that means making them use Akh Morn on your enemies, so be it.

Thinking too small. I'm saying if Summoners have the power to restrain power of an Elder Primal, then they should be able to do MORE with what they are already have. But that's just my opinion though. Makes sense from a story point.

I just remembered, the arts of arcanima were said to originate from south seas, including Meracydia. So it's possible that Bahamut is much more directly linked to the origins of the SMN job (and by extension, arcanist and scholar). If that is indeed their direction, then it makes a lot of sense given Bahamut's role in previous Final Fantasy titles.

Hopefully it'll be a part of the HW SMN job story to help fully explain it. Maybe with a little help from Lady Iceheart (as someone else has mentioned somewhere), as she was able to channel the power of Shiva in a similar fashion. As Bahamut is maybe a little.... overwheming, we would have to drastically limit the amount of Bahamut Aether we take in, or risk becoming the next dreadwyrm incarnate.

Just a random late night guess.

You're upset, why?
