Lore wise (See the highlighted ones) we should have that ability from the start, and if it goes by what you said (the producers to be precise) by summoning the "real" primals without the presence of a summoner it will be like adding tons of salt to the wound.

Well to be honest, that's what I assumed the summoner job would be... Using other enfeebling and DoT magic to build up a damage meter (like a LB meter only solely for the SMN) and then when it's full they get to call the summon to perform one massive attack. So basically what they are in the single player games. However I do understand how this can't really work in an MMO setting.

I'm not a summoner myself (would like to eventually level it) but I can see how I'd be disappointed if I wasn't required to summon a full size primal in a group or FC. But personally I don't see SE putting in that requisite somehow...

The way the primal system works is that there will be a full sized primal roaming as a fate. The person who gets a gold medal in that fate gets an item with a time limit, this is the full size primal summon. The fc build the gauge up once its full the person who has the item has to use it within the time limit.

The primal is summoned and they do their signature attack the games weather changes to signify they have been used. Having a summoner class is not a requirement any class can do it.

I'm loss at words about the summoner, everything about it seems far from everything. The lore, The concept, the design, the system, everything. it looks like (for me) when in the production process SE have a set of "Job Description" card and then just shove it to any class that fit the bills as clueless as they are.

Hell .... even my friend who came over and tried the game for 3 days told me that the game was bad and SE is trying to ripping me off with a bad products for $15 and he even volunteered to click the cancel subscription for me (True story)
