However, the upcoming Patch 7.1 will continue to build on this new style, introducing a range of fresh quests, raids, and trials for players to dive into.

Why "Fester" and "Energy Drain" Feel Out of Place for Summoner in FFXIV – A Call to Refocus on Summons
As someone who's played Final Fantasy XIV in the past back in 2020, with Paladin (PLD) and Summoner (SMN) already leveled, I’ve recently started a new journey as an Arcanist, now at level 21. While leveling, I’ve found myself reflecting on how the Summoner job has evolved—and not necessarily for the better. Abilities like Fester and Energy Drain seem to push the Summoner away from its core identity of summoning powerful primal forces, reducing the job to more of a caster with a pet rather than a true master of these legendary beings.

Why Summoner in Final Fantasy XIV Online Feels Like a Watered-Down Version of Its Former Glory
As someone who’s played Summoner (SMN) in previous Final Fantasy games, stepping into the role of an Arcanist transitioning into Summoner in Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) has been a surprisingly lackluster experience. The class doesn’t feel like the powerhouse summoning job I remember from earlier Final Fantasy titles. In older iterations, Summoners were not just DPS machines, but masters of summoning iconic, awe-inspiring beings like Ifrit, Titan, Leviathan, and Bahamut to decimate enemies and command the battlefield. FFXIV's version? It feels more like a series of pretty animations with none of the satisfying depth or strategic weight behind them.
