[ Dev Requests ] Player Suggestions for Future Summoner Reworks

[Exodus-E]

What do you all think or suggest?

I think they should keep the Egis around.
Better yet: they should implement more to be applied/changed through a dedicated UI window (instead of text commands).

On a related note, and after all these years, I'm real sick of people wanting to outright remove them under the pretense of "not being like past FF games" (like SCH or DRK currently are, amirite?).
All while ignoring the established lore set up by this game's universe.

Implement more Trances/Demi-Summons? Fair enough.
Removing Egis? Absolutely not.

The biggest two for me:
1, don't take away me fighting alongside my carbuncle companion. I like pet casters. Having a familiar is important to me. Don't let imperfect execution scare you into thinking it can't ever work. Pet classes are a staple to mmos, and removing that niche would be a misstep for xiv imo.
2, Don't make the summons do all the damaging work for me. I want to cast my own spells, and have my summon be a patner to supplement my damage, not have it be the entirety of my interaction with the target.

Agreed 100%.
They should simply improve on what's already there, as well as implement more pets (even if they're just cosmetics).
