I love Summons...i hate pure white mages. Black Mages, I love for their Magic and hate them for their lack of fist power :/

Jepp, I'm one of that sort, that wants to decide the jobs or abilities themselves ;>
Every Jobs lacks a Ability and I hate to be addicted to just one Chara who's able to heal. If he dies, it's always a problem...but huff I'm getting carried away...

I think that Square gave the Summons to the White Mages because they've been rejcted a lot in the past. You need them to heal, yet they're taking a place for someone who could beat up the enemy...made me furios myself.

But why in hell should this new way be dangerous? XD
Vivi was always in my team...Lulu was also one of the Charas that I didn't want to miss.
Summons are often expensive or withdrawing the chance of gaining experience for the other Characters.

I also think that the great wonderful Square wouldn't be so blind to go in a direction that would lead to a very bad balance in a game.

Also, I don't think Square will go in that direction for long...thier always changing Systems, etc.

Besides, summons suit white mages well ^-^
