Dear god no, not another one of these threads. Does Summoner have flaws, yes, can these flaws be fixed, yes, maybe with the next expansion. But, is it a traditional Summoner, no, but neither was 13s, 12s, 11s, 10s, 9s, 8s, 7s, 6s, 5s, 4s, or 3s, hmm... looks like no Final Fantasy has ever had a traditional Summoner, how about that. I guess they all had their own individual versions that each just had similar concepts but different executions, imagine that. And please if you wanna argue issue with Summoner, don't bring up 11, your shooting yourself in the foot if you do that. Instead if you want to make a valid point, express the issues with the summons and ways you feel they can be fixed.

And I semi agree with what zcrash970 said, giving us more trance-like abilities might help. That way people might feel like their summons are doing one big attack and then leaving. Then maybe these threads will stop appearing, and people will shut up.
