Bring summoner back please

[ThorneDynasty]

They got the job fantasy 100% right. You are an actual summoner who rotates between different creatures, not just a Ruin mage + Poison with the occasional Demi.

The problem is just that apparently they spent all the budget on looks and the actual gameplay is really bland. Hopefully Dawntrail addresses that.

Again, explain what about the current summoner fulfills the the "job fantasy" compared to the old without using the word "animations"? Because those animations could have been part of the old gameplay with trivial changes.

EDIT: Or if not the old summoner, as people will immediately turn it into that slapfight, literally any imaginary iteration of Summoner with more indepth gameplay. Or at least gameplay that can be honestly called a "caster". Right now literally the only thing about SMN that is caster is its main stat and the skin. Actually look at the substance and NIN and SAM are better examples of a caster job than SMN is. Even RPR is contending.
