new avatar do you think there will be more?

[Tyrath]

SE said in some interview they had "some nice surprises" for smn in this new expansion. I dunno how they would do that without new avatars...so yeah

Let you 2hr without using all your MP? that would please alot of summoners i think.

Get rid of avatar cost since your blood pacts cost so much? (even though most summoners can get carby and fenrir for free anyway)

Add some new blood pacts to your current avatars so you can do something other than heal for lvl 10-70?

Not saying that they will not give you another avatar, but its hardly the only option.

They should bring Ixion back. It's every girl's dream to have a pony.

I think SMN aught get something a lil special.


Who says all summoning magic is avatar based?

I am thinking of sorcerer style magic from the earlier FFs, being able to summon blades or something along thoselines out of the ether to wound the enemy. Not long spells like the avatars, but a quick traditional spell like BLM and WHM have, cast, dmg, end.

Heh, kinda like what I said... It should be very fun.

You guys are all wrong. The next summon is going to be eden from FFVIII.

My 2c?

Screw adding another avatar - The summoner should be able to invoke an avatar in the true Bloodpact style, and BECOME a souped-up version of an avatar for like 30 seconds - able to WS when they get 100% TP like a melee with a ton of abilities at their disposal.

How Friggin cool would it be if a summoner suddenly transormed into a giant Griffin, a frankenstein part fenrir, part leviathatn, part Garuda, part titan, who would just wade into battle and tear a new one in anything they faced... Crap, Id need to take another friggin job to 75 >.<

[Messiah]

I want bad Bahamut. >.> We shall rule the world...

Ok no. But I wish we could summon a Neo-Bahamut for example.

Ok, but get doggy Cerberus ^_^ Double, Tripple {That's interesting.} ;o

 

[Zaltana]

i want bahamut too. but it would be kewl to have odin. but i think we need job abilities (along with nin and drg but thats another thread).

haste
dispell
stoneskin
spikes
en spells
blink
acc buffs
random buff
heals

Eden would take up the whole frikkin sky lol. Plus it's two hour would destory the planet >_> xDD Kinda funny though to summon something 689567548967849567 times bigger than you.

FFXI Stratics: Melee has accuracy food and mages have MP boosting food. Is it possible there could be some avatar- specific food in the future? For instance, increases avatar accuracy or attack.

Matt Hilton: Right now there are no plans at this time, but, and this is a direct quote, there will be "something" added for summoners in the near future, not necessarily related to food...


FFXI Stratics: Are there any plans to allow summoners to access blood pacts that the Avatar Primes use in the BCNM battles?

Matt Hilton: The answer that we received from the development team about this question had a big smile at the end of it. We're considering various things like this and that's all we can say for now! They're really having fun with summoners!
