What Job changes are you most excited for?
As you can see, there are a lot of changes to adapt to for your favorite Job inFinal Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. The rework to Summoners might be among the more intriguingJobchanges. Being able to call summon and command the true forms of Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda on top of Demi-Bahamut and Demi-Phoenix looks and sounds truly epic. And it makes the Job’s gameplay feel more faithful to the classic Summoner Class from previous Final Fantasy titles.
