Not really. Looking at past versions, it's still a mix of white and black magic (DPS and healing).

Summoner is now more accurate to previous designs as well.

Beastmaster as a playable job would definitely be that name only situation. I believe he's specifically thinking about that job when he makes that comment. Pet AI doesn't work well, especially in dungeons. There are versions of BST that would charm and nothing points to that even being possible here. Regardless of that, it would also be severely limited in many instances. What you're left with is just another melee job.
