Odin and Alex do have stories around them Long story short, if they both existed in our world, they'd try to kill each other and cause the end of the world. fyi, that's bad

Square has been promising not one, but two new avatars for months now. At first, the logical conclusion seemed to be Odin and Alexander, but now that so much time has passed with no further progress on the potential release of even one new avatar (let alone two), and with so many huge releases on the horizon, I bet that FFXI is being secretly neglected in favor of moving the more talented developers to their new MMO project. I'm personally not holding my breath for any kind of new avatar, despite Square's promises to the contrary. If the avatar is from ToAU, it's long past overdue. If it's from the new WotG expansion it's too early. Either way, it just doesn't look promising.

Anyone having Odin, Alexander or Bahamut would break the game so much that even Knights of Round would pop up and demand their overpowered summon pedestal back.

Personally I don't think we'll be getting Odin, Alexander, Bahamut or Phoenix. Atomos, I'm not so sure of, though I'm somewhat confident of Ixion. Cait Sith is still and odd one for me. Reasons why...ToAU and CoP spoilers

My Mood: | Re: New Summons lol Actually, they said "multiple". Not 2, not 3, just some number greater than 1. My guess is 6. One for each "elemental" element. With a focus on traits for having them out as opposed to activating abilities, I believe they said. Likely (hopefully) designed to be used in between the summoning of original avatars for effects (and the occasional spirit for Siphoning).

Spoilers As for the WotG "avatars", Cait Sith doesn't seem to even been an Avatar, niether does Atomos. But I will admit it would be funny to see people running around with giant gaping maws floating behind them. And Ixion, as I said before, is still possible because the HNM just doesn't seem to be the real Ixion. Though that could just mean there will be other Ixion type NMs throughout missions and sidequests, but still there's only one type of monster in game that radiates that always present glowing aura. And those are Avatars.

Another thing I recently heard... from another Summoner friend who heard it from another SMN who was in a party with her... is that we as Summoners will be getting "Cure IV", has anyone else heard this detail? As far as I can tell, the only Avatars that would come even close to qualifying for Cure IV are Alexander and Carbuncle... and possibly Pheonix. So unless they release Pheonix and Alexander, I really do not see Carbuncle getting Cure IV, or as it would be Healing Ruby IV... seeing as how its level 65 ability is Healing Ruby II.

Light Elemental gets Cure IV at 41, could that be what she meant? It's a random ability, no way to make it proc, but still... every SUM that has a Light Elemental has a chance of doing it.

Spoilers By that line of reasoning, it would make sense to give us Odin and Alexander, because we already completed the circle with TAU. They exist now in avatar forms, all they need is some kind of access point to the realms they sleep in, like the protocrystals the others all have. Also, while Zantesuken is awesome, it's not beyond the realm of the nerfable. Look at Ruinous Omen in dynamis. What used to be a massive AE percentage down move, basically morphs into Howling Moon's AE Dark blast when you get to the higher levels. I did 800~ damage to several mobs, then I got partial resists from several others, none of these were the same percentage of damage, like you see when Diabolos uses it on you in the mission/quest. You could easily do the same thing to Zantesuken. As I argued before, we kind of need these two to finish off the burstable spells. I can make light and dark chains to burst off of long before I can make "Light" and "Dark", it follows that we should probably have a way to create those bursts before the mid-50s when we get Meteorite and Nether Blast. Banish II/Holy from Alex, and two dark moves from Odin would fit this bill in the appropriate level ranges. Given what I just went over, it would also make more sense to do it for these two than for say, Bahamut or Pheonix, which don't have as close a link to stuff we already have/need. Not to say they couldn't do it, however. Again, Diabolos is/was hard the first few times people faced him. (Remember when he was released?) If they can create a battle there that can be beaten and make him summonable after, I'm pretty sure they can add others. | |

| Re: New Summons No, I do not think Light Elementals cure IV is what this person meant. Though I could be mistaken I suppose.

Well i'm in the mind set that despite loving the smn, its highly unlikely we'll see a new avatar anytime soon. Though if 1 is to be released, i wouldn't mind RedXIII. I know wot ur all thinking, he is a character NOT an avatar. But i wud love calling him out and attacking with his fang attacks. That oir maybe even a Golden chocobo avatar. that pecks and uses buffs like haste. From personal expirence with SE, u never know |

I Personally think that we will get some "Worthless" avatars. SE mentioned in this past FANFEST that there were 2 large avatars and that on the NEXT fanfest, we were going to be wondering HOW to use them. That is what I recall |
