    As a Summoner player since ARR and Healer Main it is almost comical to see everyone cry about the complexity being nuked for simplicty. Where have these people been since SHB came out and the Healers were stripped of any and all complexity and became homogenized to the point of a single dps button?

    With that out of the way, I think the visuals of the new Summoner are stunning and it FINALLY looks like a Final Fantasy Summoner. That being said, it is one thing to have flashy animations that look pretty and another for the mechanics behind them to play well and be fun. Summoner has been in a very weird place for a long time and it has needed to figure out it's identity. It looks like they have finally picked an identity for it and they hit the ground running with it. Let's just hope the gameplay is as fun and engaging as it is pretty.

    When they showed the Astro animations for SHB I was in love, until I realized what they had done to the job in exchange. It is a shell of it's former self and while I do not like what they've done, I had to come to terms with that and realize that it was "for the good of the game" when balance was concerned. Mind you, I still have negeative feels about how dirty they did Ast, but we'll see how they adjust it in Endwalker. The same can be said about Summoner. We will all know more at the press event, until then everything is speculation.

    I mean I personally don't comment much on jobs I don't play. So I assume, like me, they were busy playing summoner. :x (and nursing some hella carpel tunnel due to 5.0's required recursive weaving)

    I and many other it seems. Want all that (and much more) complexity back.
