Summoner would be cool if they were a little more like Summoners were in past Final Fantasy games, where they can summon powerful primals after you've defeated them. I was disappointed to see Summoners in this game are pretty much the same thing a Magician was in Everquest, a mage who can summon elemental pets, making them effective at soloing? With the Chocobo companion, I'm not really sure what the appeal of summoners is.

Summoners should have more variety, have it they can gain a new summon for each Primal. Some could do Status effects, giving them more utility. Not sure why they made Scholar separate from Summoner, but for Summoner to be more useful I think the fairy and more should be among their summons, allowing them to fill more roles depending on what they summon. By having Summoner and Scholar branch into two separate jobs, a Summoner is essentially just inferior dps.
