I'm really looking forward to beta 4. I'm not sure why I'm not in beta 3, but I don't mind. I bought a box and all that good legacy stuff, but oh well, I can wait. actually, no I can't wait XD
I am sure far as the lore goes yes it all makes good sense but I was more referring to the feel of the class itself will not feel as impressive as Summoners in the other Final Fantasy games.
Cause of said lore you mentioned. Summoners will be summoning "Lesser Ifrit Elemental" lol just as a joke example but you get my idea. Not as impactful as lets say summoning Ifrit or Shiva etc.
I understand what the lore states and im okay with that. I am looking at this from a game mechanics angle.
I agree cuz there were no problem in FF11 where summoners could actually summon some of the actual summons we all know and love like Garuda and Fenrir.
I wouldn't have minded summons being similar to previous FF games like FFVII and just being a single shot thing. Summon Ifrit have him do some big hit and then go away.
I think thats how they should have made the summoner limit breaks or something, who knows maybe it is

You should contact their FFXIV customer service if you didn't get an invite.

Due to frequent travel in my youth, English isn't something I consider my primary language (and thus I obtained quirky ways of writing). German and French were always easier for me despite my family being U.S. citizens for over a century. Spanish I learned as a requirement in school, Japanese and Korean I acquired for my youthful desire of anime and gaming (and also work now). I only debate in English to help me work with it (and limit things). In addition, I'm not smart enough to remain fluent in everything and typically need exposure to get in the groove of things again if I haven't heard it in a while. If you understand Mandarin, I know a little, but it has actually been a challenge and could use some help.
Also, I thoroughly enjoy debates and have accounts on over a dozen sites for this. If you wish to engage in such, please put effort in a post and provide sources -- I will then do the same with what I already wrote (if I didn't) as well as with my responses to your own. Expanding my information on a subject makes my stance either change or strengthen the next time I speak of it or write a thesis. Allow me to thank you sincerely for your time.
The gampad layout is one of the best I have seen. I love everything about the game, if there is one thing I would change it would be to slow the battles down a bit. Other than that I am looking forward to this weekend.
you have to understand that primals like ifrit and garuda are already in the game as a challenging fight to earn primal weapons. Having them be something that a summoner job can just bust out at any time does not fit in the game, currently. They do have plans later on, as someone else stated, to make these primals free roaming and can be captured.
Considering how many legacy players will be leveling the class/job, i am quite happy i wont be seeing 328141 ifrits on my screen.
This is shaping up really well. The housing sounds great.
Square Enix is offering a bit of a new wrinkle to the formula by adding something called “Level Sync”, which will allow you to participate in events you may have otherwise outleveled. It’s pretty much reverse sidekicking from City of Heroes. Your available skills and such will be restricted to what would be available at your temporary new “level” (scaled down appropriately for the event), but you’ll be able to acquire experience and rewards worthy of your actual level.
"ARR will actually have entire open world areas dedicated to supporting player houses and players will be able to buy plots of land where they can then build their houses, decorate them both indoors and out, and even grow things in their yards."
Yes, we used to have this sort of thing in every MMO. Now days you usually don't have room to swing a cat in a MMO.

Good to see that great old ideas do not die; budding, level sync etc help players who want to group up.
Finally though, pre-order is never a good idea, wait fo the reviews, not the previews.

Such a simple and yet brilliant idea.
I will be watching this one closely.
