Summoning Magic concept (video!)

[Myrrdraal]

I have a feeling people that are adamant about having summons as a pet never played SMN in FFXI. The system was broken and extremely inefficient. If S-E were to improve upon it? Sure, bring em out as pets. But many many years as a summoner in FFXI has made me very skeptical when it comes to S-E's ability to implement pet jobs correctly.

Edit: Loved your video btw. Quite a brilliant idea i think.

I'm pretty sure there isn't gonna be a summoner job. If you pay attention to the plot it's moving in the direction of us gaining the ability to summon in order to fight the empire. Everyone who walks the path of the twelve has the ability to summon. Stop thinking oldschool and start thinking Guardian Force. Just thought I'd point that out since I notice alot of people pining for full summoner job and in my mind everyone having thier own avatar is a hell of alot cooler then any pet jorb.

If they truly are not going to have pet classes I wouldnt mind something similar. But if they ever decide to add pet classes, maybe something a bit different.

I don't like the idea of quick Summon, the quick summon should only be for very powerful beast you can use for 1 thing only.

The concept was to effectively create an environment where we could summon a very powerful beast. FFXI's system didn't do proper justice to the power of the avatars.

Sidenote: Perhaps I'll need to make another animation to more effectively communicate to people how the instanced summon is compatible with pet summons. No matter how many times I point it out, people still post about how they don't want to give up pet summons.

I think what many of the people need/want is a separate pet class (ie BST, PUP). Primals/Espers/Avatars aren't pets. They are supposed to be demi-gods~like entities of immeasurable power. The more powerful the summon is, the sillier it looks when following a player around like a trained dog.

This is why we couldn't summon Bahamut in FFXI.
