    I think they brought it back in FFX-2 Last Mission for Brother.

    FFXI's Beastmaster allowed you to charm many different types of enemies and they would fight alongside of you. It was a really cool job.

    Mandragora has become somewhat iconic for the FF franchise over recent years so I'd like to see that as a summon. There are not enough earth-based summons.

    It would be somewhat of a synergy of traditional summoner/beastmaster roles. Fitting seeing as neither has ever really stood on their own all that well and are kind of confused.

    I would imagine that for something like your low level 'Imp' summon you don't just try to capture an imp in combat, but defeat the king of all imps to gain his powers.

    Gilgamesh was one of the best parts of FFVIII especially because he kinda drops an FFV reference at the end of his super bad-ass sequence.

    Mideen was also awesome for FFIX.

    I'd like to see the arch fiends be made into this. I think the way they pulled it off with Gilgamesh shows that sub-bosses or optional ones like FFVII's weapons are optimal for this role.

    It kinda makes me sad FF never really kept this tradition, there's so much room for it

    That would actually be a neat one.

    What are you smoking? XIII and XIV (so far) are the only titles that haven't pulled this. Even XII made Zeromus, Chaos, and ExDeath summons. Just about every entry since FFIV has done this.

    Don't forget Mateus is a reference to The Emperor from FFII and Famfrit as a reference to the Cloud of Darkness from FFIII.

    You can also argue Cuchulainn, Belias, Hashmal, and Ultima following the pattern as well.

    One summon I'd absolutely luf luf for them to bring back is Gilgamesh!

    I think it'd be really awesome if they could beef up a Moomba and make that a summon. hahah
