Make completely new summons for summoner.

[Dreadnought]

im all for this idea but i know a lot of people that hated the fact that FFXII didnt use any traditional summons.

FFXII summons were some of my favorite in the entire franchise. even the backgrounds were awesome. scions of darkness, hell yeah!
im still waiting for my Ivalice MMO.

[Jinrya-Geki]

I could do without carbuncle.

I'll clarify this guys.

It's been said that the Primals will become "Clan summons", and only one Guild at a time can have the primal. I think there will probably be a time limit on how long you can keep them, and you can only use them ONCE before you have to fight the Primal again. Yoshida did say that the Primals themselves would affect the world when they're used, so I can see why they could be guild-only.

I expect summoner to have their own summons.

That info MIGHT be outdated. Not entirely sure...

Found this in the 3rd v2.0 .pdf

Summoning system that awards the ability to summon primals to Free Companies that defeat them.

So I guess the summoner class/job won't be getting Primals as their summons.

People hating the FFXII summons?!
LUNACY!

[Jennestia]

Because people don't want to play the same thing every single time.

Yet people are gushing over SWTOR. Also yes, it was stated Summoners won't get primals, but lesser summons like Carbuncle.

I hope it's a super chibi version of the XI one

I believe Siren has something to do with the Echo. Or atleast from what a friend told me.

Looking at the CE Boxart I was under the impression Siren was "human" race's Primal.

Though in all fairness, It does kind of look like Garuda as well.

On added note, not related to this response, I noticed a few people say XII had bad "invented" summons, implying they were made for XII, you might want to check up on your FF,Espers that appear in XII have been around since tactics, the reason you haven't seen them in games like X, X-2, XI, XIII, is because these just happen to be A little more exclusive to Ivalice, they're older than some of the more popular summons.

XII summons were a train wreck. I want a Shiva, Ramuh and Ifrit back but this time designed by Yoshitaka Amano with Akihiko's tweaks to make them work in 3d.
