Listening to the Japanese (not the English interpreter because she kept making mistakes), he said rather than adding pets, in the long term it'd be better to focus on adding to the summoner him or herself. The English QA summary also says as much.

Adding actions to the summoner, not the pets. Maybe they will throw us a bone in 4.0 or in a later 3.X patch, but I would rather be pleasantly surprised than raising a fuss on the forums later because of false assumptions from a poor translation.
Well, I'm sorry. I haven't read through all the posts on there. Didn't think there was that big of a mistranslation.

My post is BS now lol.

I still stand by the fact that they look very interesting though... It's going to be very different opinions on it ofc, but I honestly don't care how a job is "supposed" to be, just about how fun and engaging it is to play.

You should know that, not everyone wants it to be more about the pet though... I keep hearing about everyone wanting it, here on the forums, but in the game, a lot of the ones that play SMN right now (and others too), like them right now, and actually want them to give this amount of focus on the summoner itself.

It's the same with all jobs pretty much, we've seen tons of people complain about the additions for every job, but there are a ton of people that like them, but just don't post about it here. Need to respect those people that like it too.
