A Request for Summoner

[Fira_Bug]

Glad to see everyone is enjoying the image I posted. Rydia is why I became a summoner in the first place in XI. for 8 years I played that game and SMN was the ONLY thing I ever had leveled. Not cause I couldn't level anything else, but because nothing else really mattered to me. But MAN did I hate those stupid horns.

Summoners don't need horns, just ask the beautiful Rydia! Headpieces are waaayyy better ^^

Im good with or without the horn and I am also fine with green. But they really took smn in a horrid direction in xi. It really is demented christmas elf, there are so many better things u can do/have been done with smn as many ppl here have pointed out. Im just really scared of another rediculous smn

As long as it's not a hybrid whm, then i'm good.

Seriously, hasn't the tone of the communication made it clear they are going to include every big legacy job.

In addition they are going to offer the artifact/jse (i.e. traditional) gear sets, as (hopefully) quested gear.

Use your horn gear as you see fit, or double/triple materia some crowns, hats, sugarloafs, etc and as Yoshi pointed out, they will likely be superior gear.

Don't be hatin' on the SMN AF3, it was adorable

Relic was ugly tho. Blue, yuck.

Summoner AF don't need to be in FF XIV like in FF XI.
Look at the monks, the AF is different. It's more like FF IV instead of FF XI


(can't find a picture with female monk AF from FF XI)

I hope Summoner would be like in FF IV, too ^^

There was nothing really wrong with SMN in FFXI since they redid the class to fit an MMORPG setting. The players are what took SMN in a bad direction, simply because they could heal in past games doesn't mean they were yet another healer for FFXI, which is why they had zero native cures outside of Carbuncle and Garuda.

SMN was actually one of the more powerful jobs in the games, even more so post 75 cap raise, much like PUP, it was just under utilized by players which is why a good SMN/PUP were always given praise. Since in XIV they seem to be taking the Summon route towards player/free companies, I doubt we'll realistically see summoner as a job rather than we will as a class since they said SMNs will be able to summon lesser beings, so it's not really worth being a job, it can simply be a class.

Summoner horn though is a staple of the series, which they even "nudge" to in IX with Eiko and Professor Tot wondering about Garnet's lack of a horn. >.>

I don't mind the horn too much, it's just all the green D:
I would like Summoner armor to be more FFXish.

Edit: I would also like to see some art of Summoner if they have any yet.

[MartaDemireux]

I could see them going a more FFTA/2 route for SMN in this game. We have similar looking gear designs (pants specifically) already.



But I agree, as much as I loved SMN in XI, the AF/Relic/Empy designs were not to my taste at all...

Akihiko Yoshida..all that needs to be said >.>
