So like a melee version of summoner

Kinda the idea. Lorewise, it would be more of a forgotten practice to the current ages, but the idea is using the idea of summoning eikons, but awakening said eikons within a vessel. While this can have bad side effects if the eikon's power is relied on too much, the power would be immensely strong.

There's a lot to consider from a lore perspective, but it's something I think could be interesting for those who want a more FFXIV version of FFXVI's Dominants for their character lore.

Could be interesting to the right people. But I'm not the right people. But I'll say to go for it. Come up with interesting stuff

Where's my Shinryu dominant >:/

You could be the first if it works lorewise!

Well, according to the terms Dominants in FFXIV basically channel the power of primal through them and manifest into them, rather than it being inherited every 100-200 years randomly as per the FF16 lore.

So it most likely does work, just a matter of setting up what constitutes a eikon / primal.

Consider my DMS open if you want a wall to bounce off of as a SMN nerd to help keep a good line between them and someone working on workshopping Lore/Mechanics for a melee custom job.

I will consider it then!

i had thought about trying to think up something on those lines, such as arkie being the dominant of sephirot (only cause i like nature themes a lot and that tree needs more representation somehow) thought of how was always kinda difficult, before that idea got abandoned for something else >.>

tanukiarkie.bsky.social•8 days ago

if i were to say how they could be possible, summoners who would want to take their strength to levels beyond that of the summons and trances (give me ramuh gdi), if ones aether and will is strong enough to withstand aligning themselves to an element without going overboard and tempering themselves-

tanukiarkie.bsky.social•8 days ago

then they could try and start learning what they could of the eikon they would want to try and hold within themselves, be it by the associated beast tribe or whatever other methods there would be to learn of them, text, word of mouth, otherwise, and then beginning to align themselves with that-

tanukiarkie.bsky.social•8 days ago

aether and knowledge until they manage to manifest that summon within themselves and utilize their element and power themselves. it'd probably also help that you had fought them once before as a primal, though thats just my idea of it

bubblegunkitty.etheirys.social•8 days ago

As far as I know, Summoners are capable of manifesting certain primals by doing battle with them and sort of "learning their essence." It's the explanation of Solar Bahamut. Given Clive from XVI experiences something similar, it can probably be similar to that.

tanukiarkie.bsky.social•8 days ago

True, that’s the whole basis of summoner in this case, tho a fancier way of the old ff formula of fight the summon to get the summon … just makes me more upset we can’t get all the other ones >.<
