Pet Glamor System

[GamerChef6]

Sorry all, but I am limited on my forum posting knowledge and don't know how to insert the comments of others here. So please bear with me:

Response to Nalien, FeliAiko, Kupocoubo:All of this is surrounding FF lore. Summoners normally have the ability to summon multiple types of Egis, Espers, Gaurdians, which ever term you want to use. This has always been a standard in FF games. In FFXI, the summoners had access to all "primals." FFVII you could attached any summon materia you wanted to your slots, FFX Yuna had every summons available to her, FFVIII, all party members could junction 4 Guardians and summon them giving you access to 12 Guardians at any given time, and so on. Yoshi P and Dev's admittedly rushed the Summoner/Scholor development at the very end to include in ARR because that was a big complaint from 1.0, but did not think of this element. The only thing that I see holding this development back is that we don't include the use of the element wheel in this game, but that still isn't a solid enough reason not to at least give the summoners a glamor system. Heck, I will go back into every Primal Extreme again to earn it if I have to like in other FF games. The use of the off hand slot is a great idea as it is a slot already in place, but no being used.

Secondly, the point that Conjurer has a class specific mount is valid. They gave tanks their own mounts, and I know it was to get more people to tank, but still no other job has a reward for just being that job. So the argument is valid. Tanks got a reward for being a tank, Conjurers got it just to get it. So, why should summoners not have what is truly correct per FF lore? That would also mean that every class having a glamored pet is an invalid argument as well. No other class in FF lore has pets/summons.

As for Scholors, I can see a glamor system in the future, but more lore needs to be developed to make it work. As it sits right now, there isn't enough lore to really generate these glamors. So, like dragoons just got in this expansion, hopefully there will be a couple patches or an expansion (preferably expanison) that will focus on the summoning job, beyond the job quests, to allow for greater lore generation. We can see that Doma will have a focus on Ninjas (since that appears to be their point of original), Al Mihgo will probably focus on Monks (same reasoning thanks to Yda), so let's keep that train rolling on all classes if they are going to continue with a focus per expansion/patch on specific jobs/classes. Patches would probably be better, since there are too many classes versus the number of expansion that will probably come out and they could give each job/class an opportunity for MSQ focus that way (but this is an aside, off topic).
