Yoshi P Interview w/ Larryzaur & Dungeon Preview | FFXIV Shadowbringers: @3:52

They tied Summoner & Scholar to Arcanist to save development time so they could release the two jobs at launch and wouldn't have to create two separate classes for each. I mean, we knew this..right? Still, a disappointment.

Three expansions on, and Summoner is finally just now starting to come into its own both thematically and gameplay-wise. As a SMN player, I'm thankful.

Summoner and Scholar drift further apart with each new expansion, but I still can't help wonder how much better the job experience would be for both if they had unique, tailored abilities from Lv.1 on.

Do you still support the separation of Scholar and Summoner from Arcanist?
