I like the idea I'm just not sure we'll see it unless they decide to do it as part of an expansion. It'd give them a way to split SCH and SMN apart, let SCH keep it's abilities and give SMN new abilities basically making it a new job.

Just like you though OP I love the SMN job but it doesn't feel like what I'm use to from other FF games where I summon ifrit, titan, etc. for big dmg and then they disappear again. I do enjoy SMN right now but it's just not what I personally envision how SMN should be.
