Any ideas

[Satori]

I just want to ask what kind of summons do you wish were in the game!

I wish they had a summon that had more than one thing appear,

take the magus sisters for example or the special dressheres in FF-X2 - I can only dream

or maybe a summon only available to each race?

or mayebe a way to summon weather conditions over certain areas to give the summons an advantage?

I can but dream!

Re: Any ideas

That's an easy one, all the summons from VIII and used in the same way ( I think I posted about the SeeD job a long time ago too).

Of course I don't think it'll ever happen but no one can blame me for wishing.


For SMN I think there aren't many summons left, avatars like Valefor or even Jumbo Cactuar would be nice to see, while others like Odin or Eden (or the mighty Anima) seem to be out of the question.

The most iconic ones are already here, but I just wish they had kept Shiva looking the same way she looked in VIII. Oh, and before someone tells me it was because she was practically naked I wouldn't care if she was completely covered (I actually had a girl getting mad at me before because she thought that's what I meant ).

I just liked the way she looked in VIII a lot more than the Shiva we have on XI.

Re: Any ideas

I loved the look of shiva on X the most. They really surprised me with thier design skills on that game. I think 10 had the best design of any game released in the ff series yet. I thought Valefore looked great and was pretty dynamic, but he is more or less interchangable with garuda. I think the animations on valefore were much better though. I'd like to see alexander

There are some summons that are used as NMs or reincarnated as enemies. The magus sisters you could equate with the shikaree's from CoP, the brother minotaurs there is an ENM that has them as bosses, there is a Cactaur Suave ksnm, and the tonberry king is an NM already (den of rancor i think). I can see why they chose garuda over pandemonium or Valefore though. The amount of polygons and colors required to make those look good in an online game would be overwhelming for the development team, not to mention all the complicated textures the texture artist would have had to paint for each one.
