The game that officially got me hooked on the final fantasy series was FFX and till date i still consider it one of the best games ever made. I've been noticing a lot of similarites between ffxiv and ffx and in more ways than just the re-used "final fantasy" content.
Like how when i was on the "living on the prayer tour of eorzea". I couldnt help but getting reminded about yuna's quest in ffx to travel across the world and pray in all the temples.

Now to the point of the thread. hehe. Do you guys remember how in ffx when a summon appeared it would swap places with the party and if it died, then the party would just take its place.

How about...... for the summoner's lvl 50 skill, the one with the 15 min cooldown. It would be allowed to summon a huge beast (or aoen, hehe, if u will) that would take the position of the whole party and only that beast would be fighting for one minute or two. and then when the time runs out, or if the beast dies, the party returns and continues fighting. This is pure fantasy of course but i still cant help wondering about it. It'd be epic!.
Or...maybe... Just maybe...
The SMN Lv50 skill could be the iconic "Astral Flow" which causes your summon to unleash its most powerful attack...

Did you ever think of that?
