Old Summoner always felt really clunky to play. It was my first job, and I played it for the MSQ through each expansion. I have a lot of good memories tied up in it, even if I didn't find the old playstyle particularly palatable.

On the other hand I'm not really a fan of new summoner. It's a bit too simple for me. Even so I continued the tradition of playing it for the Endwalker MSQ. I'm really happy people enjoy it at least, even if I find it really bland.

The job action trailer for SMN in Dawntrail was a huge letdown. A few particle effect updates for existing spells and a second Bahamut? Really? You had so many cool primals to choose from and you chose a second Bahamut? I went in looking forward to seeing some cool stuff for my old main in anticipation of maintaining my tradition of playing SMN for Dawntrail MSQ and I left underwhelmed and disappointed. All you had to do was reskin the filler primals after Phoenix phase and I'm sure people would have been happy with even a lazy update like that.

But you gave us almost literally nothing.
