Summoner doesn't feel like it Summons.

THIS summoner we have now IS something new and unique to XIV.

Is it though? I haven't played many other FF Games, but from what I have been able to gather, the big feature of summoner in other titles is having a god of some sort come down, do a big attack, and leave. That's basically what they are doing here just adapted to make sense in an MMO format.
