    For anyone not in the know, Evoker was the first class in the series that could summon creatures, and it debuted in Final Fantasy III. The upgraded class is Summoner.

    Thanks for the history, I honestly did not know that.
    It also sounds better with the other names of classes...
    conjurer, gladiator, evoker, marauder...

    Interestingly enough, the class was known as conjurer as well, and in Japanese, Evoker is literally known as Illusionist.

    If anything, I think that might fit the naming scheme present in the armory system right now, as illusionist sounds much more broad than Evoker, which is the general theme between all the classes. I think I even remember seeing Illusionist as part of that .dat mined class list.

    Yeah, strangely enough, the original translation for Conjurer in FFXIV was Illusionist, before SE released their English names.
