What he said made sense for the lore that surrounds summoning primals. That lore is independent of the lore from the summoner job quests that dictate the mechanics of egis and trances. They literally aren't even the same topic. Nobody got shown up, but go off if you need to feel good sis, I'm out lol.

2. Carbuncle is your starting summon but can be attuned to different magicite or removed entirely for other pirmal egis.

3. Dreadwyrm Trance reworked into Primal Trance. Exact same as Dreadwyrm Trance but summons a larger version of the currently summoned egi. Ex. Shiva-egi attuned to Ruby magicite will become Shiva when in Primal Trance and uses Diamond Dust when you enkindle. Trance ends upon use.

4. Judgment Trance summons Alexander. Recast timer shared with Bahamut, similar to Dreadwyrm trance and Phoenix. Auto attacks deal aoe instead of single target. Trance rotation at lvl 90 will be Primal > Bahamut > Phoenix > Alexander > repeat.

This is so close to how I imagine SMN playing.

To add to this they still haven't even explained how Demi summoning works, outside of a useless throwaway line from Prim about teaching you the ultimate technique. Which could have been literally anything. They haven't cared to explain anything so it's trivially easy to just rework anything and throw it under the umbrella of what Prim taught you.

I’m expecting either DWT and Bahamut being merged together or Egi Assaults being upgraded during a new Primal Trance window, ideally both.

What I’m hoping for is a rework of the levelling curve, replacing Energy Drain/Siphon with Fester/Painflare, and reintroducing Aetherflow and Rouse, which are then used to build the core of the SMN rotation at level 50, upgrading to DWT and Summon Bahamut later on.

Still want the reset mechanic on Tri-Disaster removed too, ideally replaced with the charge mechanic.

Beyond that it’s just number upgrades.
