Only caveat is that this disregards the identity FF10/11/12/13 made to how summoning magic evolved in the series So saying that the current FFXIV SMN is a real summoner only proves my statement and is a downgrade.
I wish they would bring the pets back for SMN, but Creative Business Unit III has a very choppy vision that combines the one and done big flashy attack that some were clambering about mixed with a loose structure of FF16. I know I've said before, but we're likely going to see the return of pets in BST. And if they ever make an unlimited version, we'll probably see it in PPT where the weapon/secondary is the puppet that acts like a pet.There really is no need to decouple SMN and SCH from ACN. SE needs to realize that the pets are necessary and that they should have worked on improving it, rather than ditching it. Haters be damned. The job started as such and should be retained.
All pet-related actions and abilities should be fleshed out as ACN and just let SMN and SCH expand to it as each role see fit.
But even though the dev team seem committed to having SMN go down this road, it's a very mismanaged and poorly built road of cheap asphalt and loaded promises that 4-5 years to look forward to maybe something.
SMN starting dawntrail only has:
Carbuncle, Ifrit, Garuda, Titan, Phoenix, Bahamut, Sunny D Bahamut
Out of the following:
ARR: Shiva, Leviathan, Good King Moggle Mog XII, Ramuh, Odin
HW:Bismarck, Ravana, Knights of the Round, Alexander, Sephirot, Sophia, Zurvan
STB:Susano, Tsukuyomi, Lakshmi, Shinryu
SHB:The eden versions could be glamour options or new summons altogether
EW:Anima, The magus sisters
So much potential. So much that is lacking.

One of my FC mates would absolutely be on board, but i think she and her husband are playing DnD right now.
So i'll show my support in her stead.

It is fine to disagree but it is not fine to call people as idiots for not agreeing to you. Let this serve as a callout to your tone.
Even if it was not directed to me, calling others idiots for not agreeing is not fine. We can continue to freely exchange thoughts without the need of calling people names. Sheesh.
