Oh yeah, Yoshida's already mentioned that he wants to do some sort of player housing down the line.

As far as Summoner goes... why must it be a pet class? I loved summoner in FF11, but I always thought that kind of subservience was a bit over the top. And they also got heavily, heavily nerfed because of it.

I'd kinda rather see Summoner as a mage that holds its own without the summons, but can use the primals (as a spell) for burst damage on a long recast.

Take Summoner from FF Tactics for example. I always had Time Mage abilities on it as a sub, so for the most part it went around buffing and debuffing... but when enemies got close enough together... Boom! Bahamut pwnage. Or the same would go for allies when they're in range and Carbuncle/Moogle/Sylph etc.

I realize we have 'time' spells in particular kind of already covered, but that's just an example. It would keep from it having to be a pet class (which the devs keep hinting that they really don't want to do), and it would probably be a ton easier to balance.

Why must summoner even be a class or a job? Why not an ability everyone gets at high level in addition to the "echo"?
Everyone could summon in 6, 7, 8 , 12, 13, so why not in 14?

Everyone can if they use the class. If every class gets the ability to summon though, it would just add to the lack of definition that classes already have.
