Patch 1.22c Notes

[JackDaniels]

The Primal Summoning sounds really interesting, I hope to at least get a chance to see it happen. lol I wonder how the summoner class would work then, maybe mini-primals acquired by fighting the bigger ones? But then that wouldn't be fair because the Primals seem like they'd be so rare. Guess we'll have to see.

I have to admit though, it will be awesome to see the world change when the first Primal is unleashed by a player...

To me it sounds like there will be no summoning class (which is fine by me).

I'm pretty sure there has already been hinted at that there will be a summoning class but it won't be able to summon the primals, but the smaller summons.

I'd probably agree in light of the new Primal system but I think too many clues point otherwise, at least for me. In the recent poll when asked for a new class, it uses avatars as one of the examples when mentioning a pet based class. Now that could have just been used as an example and me delving too deep into things or it could have pointed to a summoner-like class, if not a summoner itself. Also Yoshi says he wants to make FFXIV more FF-y, one of the staple classes of Final Fantasy since 3 is Summoner. So I think if not soon, eventually. At that point the Primal system may be tweaked or who knows what but it'll be fun when it finally gets here.

We're probably going to see the less iconic but still pre-existent summons, and perhaps something unique to Eorzea (here I am praying for Ark and Knight-Shiva from FFTA)

[blumoon]

I wouldn't mind something unique. I just want to summon! lol

Ark would be amazing. I hope they bring back Quetzalcoatl! He's one of my favorites.

As I read it: The pet will be a companion that you train by developing skills. It is not a Summoner type of class.

Isn't that what our chocobos are gonna be for?

Yep... My reading is that chocobos are going to be one of the pets.

Really? Ohhhh, that's interesting! Where can I find that?

But the poll still does mention "avatar" in it. That's all I'm trying to say really. The use of "avatar" is a throwback to the Summoner class of Final Fantasy XI.
