Summoner/Make Carbuncle useful again

[Raikai]

Exact!
They created the problem of ghosting and unresponsiveness in shB. There was no such problem before. Previously the pet worked fine.
Instead of making it work fine, they decided, instead of introducing a new entity into the game, to lazily replace by resetting the "pet" entity, screwing up a system that worked perfectly before.

Here it is clearly not the fault of the pet system, but it is the fault of the lack of desire and laziness to introduce a new entity that acts as a demi.

If I could guess, adding a new actor to the combat setup could be something that requires a bigger overhaul to the game's code, as it seems to support only 1 extra actor (carby, fairy) and 2 additional ones outside of instances (chocobo + minion) and when they made it like that was without future-proofing back in ARR.

Not that it's any justification to not do it, but maybe it would require way more work than it seems. I really think they should see to it because it might impact other aspects of the game positively, and I wonder if something like this was thought for 7.0... Maybe we'll only know by JP Fanfest.

There's a lot of money going around ff14. They procrastinated for 5 years destroying a perfectly functional system. I personally don't accept the "it's too hard to implement" excuse. It may be a spaghetti code that has been working for 10 years by a miracle, but they have the resources and they also had the time to fix the crap they've done.

Then by doing so they fix the smn, but also the sch, and they also open up to being able to exploit this with other new classes or even the old ones that could have a demi alongside.
