would make sense why it is taking so long

that would be so badass lol

[Naash]

Magus, not magnus....

My money's on a typo for FFX-2.

This would bee pretty amazing if it's true!

[Hapernack]

I suppose this would qualify as a "large" avatar since it would technically be 3... I wonder how the heck they plan on implementing these though. Multiple SMNs needed to summon them or something?

I'm guessing you can't really control their actions, like in X. That way they'd be similar to all the NMs in campaign who can summon 3 or 4 elementals at once. You'd probably pick some very general command and then they'd do whatever.

[Lyramion]

ahah this would totally go hand in hand with their "you gotta find out how to control them" comment

This is worthy of its own thread.

I hope.

Considering the devs said that the new set of Avatars would work differently than the current ones and the Magus Sisters worked practically of their own accord in FFX, I guess they would be the most likely candidates for a new Avatar system in FFXI. The fact that there are 3 of them rather than one model could technically fit into the idea of the next set of Avatars being 'large', since they'll obviously require more animations and pixels & shit. Also, them being marked down for FFXI before actually being introduced could be attributed to the devs' plans going badly. Evidence of this is Cait Sith's fighting animations; she was given a new fighting model, like Bahamut and Diabolos before her, but it hasn't been used yet. It's possible they intended to add all the new Avatars this update, but that, like MMM, got kicked in the head.

Certainly an explanation for everything, making it all plausible, but who cares, we don't have 'em yet.

[Knightfell]

I'm assuming for now this is just an typo, but damn if it's not color me amazed. I'm not a SMN but I would love to see them in action.

[Destinye]

Probably a typo. Wouldn't matter if they were the new avatar anyway, because SMNs will bitch 2 weeks later and want more.

Cue "I WANT TO BELIEVE" pic. Chances are all they'll have is some glorified-but-useless party buff, and summoners will go back to spamming Nether Blast/Predator Claws and healing.

Ya gotta do what?

In before summoner e-gasm.

More like Summoner "WTF....we been waiting for....this?"

Are you suggesting that SMNs getting what they want and complaining about what they get are somehow mutually exclusive?

[DAKPluto]

Well, see the problem with that is the smart potion of the summoner community hasn't been screaming for more avatars. We've been screaming more for making job adjustments that will make SMN more useful in areas like XP/Merit parties. AKA, make it a job that isn't held down by it's /WHM and 1 min timer.

Fuck new avatars. We have plenty of them already. I'd rather see my SMN adjusted to be more useful more often. New avatars right now are like sugar on shit...it's still shit, not a donut.

[Lordwafik]

For anyone who didn't obtain Magus Sisters in FFX, THEY WERE AWESOME. If they retain even a shred of their strength from FFX when(if) introduced into FFXI, they'll be amazing.

You know, it all makes sense (if it's not a typo). SE constantly saying "We are making avatars, yes, plural" and "We were going to implement them in this version update but had graphical issues due to terrain". Would alllllllll make sense if we're summoning multiple monsters FFX style.
