Some LB3 animations are getting old

[Jandor]

Summoner LB3 is the most "dated" one in my opinion. We summon demi-Bahamut as part of the standard rotation, so just channeling him for the LB3 feels weird.

I actually quite like Paladin LB3, one of my favourites personally, if you time and position it just right it looks like you're actually physically blocking the bosses big attack.

I too have some fondness for the great wall of lame, but i wouldn't say no if they made it more generic and sexy like other tank lb3s.

I agree. My friend often say to me that the RPR LB3 is just insanely good looking when I used it. It really feel powerfull on use.

I agree on the fact that "old" LB3 VFX start to feel really old. But what do you suggest ? I think that reworking only the "VFX" would kinda be a waste of time, and not worth it. Instead, reworking LB3 completely from scraps for old class seems a better option in my opinion.

For exemple the Paladin, Why does he build up a wall ? I don't remember Paladin being "builder"... Even the lvl 70 ability look wayyyyyyyy greater than that.

Some move may feel "inedaquate" or "Low level" due to the current skillset class have. Paladin isn't an exception on this one.

As a Summoner main I wholeheartedly agree with that. Especially on 90 this is hard to ignore, when the visual effects for just calling Ifrit or Titan are already more intense. xD

How about you summon Ifrit, Garuda and Titan, make then fuse to unleash a powerfull AoE Spell ? (You don't have to take that seriously if you think it's a bad idea xD)

No. SMN LB3 should be Carbuncle Galore. little fellas don't get enough love. =(

How about we summon Ifrit, Garuda and Titan and they summon the biggest Carbuncle ever? And that carbuncle kills every enemy with cuteness.

(Not entirely serious suggestion as well, but I like the idea.)

So eye searingly bright it knocks the RDM flashbang into second place.

I can see it working like this, or like a Final Smash from some characters eg MegaMan's (summoning all the MegaMan incarnations), Pokemon Trainer, etc. It'd be a way to have 'the missing summons', have a calamitous cacophany of elemental destruction as Ifrit/Titan/Garuda/Shiva/Levi/Ramuh all bombard the area, and then finish it all with probably Bahamut, but Alexander's big Z attack would work too (just have a laser that originates from a distant point, don't actually have Alex appear)

With how little Carbuncle actually does for our rotation now, I don't know if making it fully Carb-themed is the play. Unless they add, idk, Mage Tower challenges and reward 'variant skins of LB3' as rewards, that could be cool
