Thread: What are your thoughts on 2.0's summoning system?

A lot of people are concerned about how this will effect summoner, as am I. However, my biggest concern isn't how this is going to screw up any potential summoner job, it's the point of this entire system.

Why would anyone go through all of this work to get a summon? That's what I'm worried about more than anything. There has to be some underlying purpose for this whole system, and I'm worried about how stupid its going to be.

Why are people going to go through all the effort to compete to claim/find the instance for a primal, and then do a what sounds like labor intensive activities to charge the "gauge"? Like I mentioned in the OP I can only think of a few possible outcomes and they're all pretty bad.

Such as
Titan=Paladin
Carbuncle=white mage
Ifrit,Shiva,Ramuh,Leviathan=black mage
Garuda=Red mage

The interview with Yoshida pretty much confirms that wont be happening as the primals you mentioned will only be used by Free Companies/Linkshells under very unique conditions.
