Smn Rework Suggestions After LL

[Roda]

Stringent lore restrictions that negatively impact people's enjoyment =/= the thematic basis or structure of longstanding jobs. If you cannot understand this, there is little point in pressing the issue further because you are clearly grasping at anything and everything to justify the failed state of current SMN. After 8 years of warlocks telling me to go play another class or another game, I’m merely saying the same that was said to me for so long.

K but the lore reasons for mechanics that made the class complex and engaging was a positive impact for me, and other people who currently play summoner, and they made sense in the context of Hydaelyn and allowed for fun class fantasy. The only thing about the lore that seemed off was the "sorry we can't make egis more graphically impressive 'cause ps3/potato users" justifications for the egis' designs and the "sorry we can't give you any more egis 'cause we ran out of ideas".

But really who died and made your opinions the definition of "true summoner"? People have repeatedly made the point that the summoner role has NEVER been consistent in FF. And yet you meet their points with name calling and gatekeeping and just sating "true summoner" like it's fact. We've all been playing A DEFINITIVE NUMBERED FINAL FANTASY® BRAND SUMMONER™ for 8 years, but no that doesn't count because it doesn't count because...?? Oh right, it's a design that didn't line up with your own personal opinions.

Did you even play the current iteration of summoner?
Can you give any constructive criticisms of it outside of "I don't like dots" or saying something incredibly vague like saying it's not a "true summoner"? Can you contribute to the discussion about how it will play different from what we currently have that isn't tied to its attack animations?
