Summoner Annoucement

[Not Kuno]

I still hope for Odin (luzaf version) to be it.
it's already complete with idle, summoning anim, sword & spear attacks. and sure it's not omg-mode like the mounted one.

Be careful what you wish for.

I think that would be a somewhat reasonable way to get him heh, I mean come on...its fucking ODIN.

[Tomino]

it's a scaring thought but that wont be. after all you dont need to clear Dyna-Tavnazia to be able to use Diabolos.
i'd really wish for the ToAU avatar to require missions done. Fenrir didnt, Diabolos required 4.2 but still promy+mammets are much more harder than all toau bcs together :D

Wasn't Diabolos released before Dynamis Tav?

Odin readies Zantetsuken.
The Gnole kneels respectfully before Odin.
Odin's Zantetsuken has no effect on the Gnole.

Is this olde? Looks like we're about to stumble upon the mithras' ancestor (or something like that)!

wait a minute...

[Blackmagik]

it wont be odin, reason? same one as why Bahamut isnt going to be summonable, to powerful, to big and it would ruin it to make him resized to an avatar size

[shirizaan]

Wow... that's the most gay looking Cait Sith ever. :/

i hope it's not coincidence they created two different models:
you have Odin on horse which is big, powerful, awesome, Eihen boss and very unlikely summonable.
then you have the Odin Luzaf summons (*wink wink) which is normal size, not epical and very similiar to any other avatar in the game. check cutscenes he looks like an armored ifrit + gugnir.

[frodnonnag]

Wow... that's the most gay looking Cait Sith ever. :/

at the dev panel, they emphasized it being a girl.

[DAKPluto]

Might not be in the previous update/maintenances. Dont' forget we have maintenance on Monday which they are adding MORE stuff thats coming in with WotG. So It might not even be in the .dat files as of yet.

Umm...yeah. Nothing has really been in the updates yet except pretty much all NPC stuff. The real PC stuff hasn't been touched yet and won't be until that final update.

[Spira]

i hope the avatars come soon anyway...

its been almost 2 years since our last new one

we need new toys...

I'm betting on Cait Sith and Alexander..

one from ToA, one from WotG

[Therin]

The two summons will most definitely be either:

Odin & Alexander

OR

Cait Sith & Atomos

I don't think any other combination of avatars left will make sense. (i.e., it doesn't make sense that they'll introduce any avatar that can have an element unless they introduce one for every element - all four of the ones mentioned have reasonable evidence for being introduced and are also non-elemental or of a different element like Darkness or Light. Out of all of the avatars in previous games, these are the only four that seem to make sense to me outside of the outrageous possibilities like Phoenix, Ragnarok, Magus Sisters, Crusader, Tritoch/Valigarmanda, Maduin, etc., and these are all heavily tied to other games' storylines and would be a HUGE deal if implemented into FFXI).

I suppose you could argue that they're going to come from left field with some odd storyline implementation that allows them to add Unicorn, Sylph, Pandemonium, Kujata, Siren, Bismarck, Seraph, or Hades but I don't think any of those are likely and I'm sure most of you would agree there. They'll probably stay within the realm of FFXI Worlds/servers, though.

[kuronosan]

Wouldn't make sense for Atomos to be a summon unless he's appearing on our side.

What do you mean?

[kuronosan]

Well because it seems as if Atomos is a bad guy. Summoners have never been able to summon the bad guy in this game. Bahamut, Odin... just seems logical. It'd be neat if we could but Atomos is supposed to be linked to the maws somehow.

Diabolos is pretty much a "bad guy". >_>

Also - Atomos pretty much IS the Maw. I wouldn't say he's going to be a bad guy at all - he's just the apparatus that allows us to travel into the past. That's the way I see it, anyway.

[Tomino]

up until now, every expansion = 1 new avatar so I wouldnt see they releasing 2 avatars from the same expansion.
Cait Sith + ToAU one seems very likely, since the cat looks tied to the upcoming storyline and could work well has a time travel partner helping adventurers like carby did in modern vanadiel. Atomos is probably what's causing the time vacuum so it looks like he'll be playing a major role.

Cait as a randomish/debuffer and Odin as DD would be sweet. i still dislike the chance of using Alexander tho i'd enjoy getting R2 BP since SHC gets it too.

[Hawkhellfire]

Phoenix isn't an outrageous possibility. It's completely possible that he's in his complete form in the past and we can get him.

I think this Monday will give us Alex/Odin as the very last update of TAU (like Diabolos was the very last update of COP) and we'll get Cait/Atmos towards the end of WOG when the 5th expansion is about to come out.

[kuronosan]

I can see Odin and Cait Sith being very likely choices... possibly Phoenix.
