Mr.Happy Interview with Yoshi P

[hobostew]

So... back to summons just being one-time big damage spells? Because that's what they were in most games from FF4-FF9, and to a lesser degree in 12 and 13

You'd still need something else to do between summoning in the creatures to do their big damage effects.

Not a summoner so my opinion might not carry as much weight but I'd be cool with having the filler attacks be primal themed and getting rid of the egis all-together. I'm doubly biased though I don't play summoner and I generally don't like pet classes in games.

Edit: By filler attacks I mean ruin and whatever else SMN currently uses as filler

I agree with that. They've had keep or add something to fill that space between summons.

[Alleo]

My going theory for Summoner is they intend to abandon Egis entirely and move towards Demi-Summons. Not only are they quite popular but the devs have routine said how much they detest pets. I wouldn't be surprised if said Demi-Summoners are more like Queen and Fray, where you don't control them. They essentially do their own thing and peace out.

It certainly fits the identity better than current Summoner who is more recognizable as a DoT mage half the time.

I really hope that we, if they go away with pets, are still able to somehow summon our carbuncles. I just love them and it would be sad if they are gone. After all I choose that job because I love pet jobs and because the carbuncles looked so cute.

Considering they sell carbuncle housing items, carbuncle gear, & carbuncle mounts in the Mogstation, on top of also selling real world carbuncle merch... I think it's safe to assume they're not getting axed.

I was going to include a link of Ryan Reynolds chopping wood but I'll let you find it on youtube. Just remember, we're friends right? We're having fun.

I sincerely doubt they'll base the future of an entire job around whether people like carbuncles. They'll either be moved to a purely cosmetic function of some sort or could be the base catalyst for when we don't have a Demi-Summon out since they'll have to be some down phase. Either way, if Demi-Summons are the direction they're going and that means no more Carbuncles. They'll make that sacrifice.

I could see them reworking carbuncles from combat pets into something you summon just to give yourself some kind of permanent buff. Something like Aplhinaud's carbuncle in trust dungeons that gives you a damage buff.

It does mentioned about the egi glamour's for smn

Thanks for the news drop. In response to Egi Glamour...

Respectfully, no. It's time to stop kick the can down the road. Egi design has be a top complaint since Beta and it hasn't gone away. It's long past time to deal with this issue. 6.0 is a perfect time to introduced redesign Garuda, Ifrit, Titan along with adding Shiva, Ramuh, and Leviathan; something players have been asking for since 2015.

Kinda sounds like the plan is to throw the old can away and get a new can instead. The wording makes it seem like they are going to redo the pet system for summoner entirely.

Unfortunately we've heard this one too...
Besides, he just said it's on hold again.
