SE erasing post about player speculation

[TaalAzura]

This is how I see Summoner working in A Realm Reborn.

Arcanist has access to all the summons (minus the big boys and girls like Ifrit, Garuda and Titan), and in order to summon the greater primals they would have to switch to their job (Summoner) in order to call them.

The Arcanist and Summoner can use the folowing:

- Carbuncle

- All the Elemental spirits

- Fenrir

- Tycoon

- Caitsith

- And any other smaller/lesser summons that the FF XIV team has hidden, and tucked away.

Summoner on the other hand can summon the following:

- All the above mentioned summons

- (The big boys and girls) Ifrit, Garuda, Titan, Leviathan, Shiva, Odin, etc.

I would just like to add one thing before my speculations close:

I don't have the quote with me, however, do any of you guys remember (or have the link) back when someone on the team said that you would have to charge something up in order to use the primal, or at least use him/her to their full potential?

Maybe that means you'll have to charge them up like with the new Limit Break system, and the summons "maybe" work into that sort of use? As maybe a big ultimate finisher like Hellfire with the in the party. And then they continue to fight after summoned until a certain amount of time expires or what not?

I'm probably WAAAAAAAY off here, but just figured I'd share my crazy, retarded thoughts

Arcanist probably only has access to Carbuncle, and will probably have it's own set of spells, or "spell summons" that aren't pets.

I don't really think Summoner will get the big primals. They made them quite powerful and really larger than life in FF14 compared to FF11. If anything I believe Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, Shiva, Ramuh, Leviathan and Odin will be, as they have stated before, summon-able by the Free Companies and only one of them will exist.
Since we don't know the mechanics of how Arcanist/Summoner will work it is really only speculation but they have already confirmed the whole Free Company summon situation. If anything I believe Summoner will get lesser primals.

Some examples are:
Carbuncle
Siren
Cait Sith
Unicorn
Midgardsormer
Moomba
Quezacotl
Phoenix
Typhon
etc

Just look here at all the summons from past games: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Summons
I'm much more excited to see them do something different and add lots of variety. But then this is just my favorite idea of what they could do.

Already strongly hinted at from leaked page that Ifrit, Garuda and Titan could be summonable by Summoner (or their essence / lesser versions).

[Kallera]

Already confirmed from leaked page that Ifrit, Garuda and Titan will be summonable by Summoner.

That would be a huge lie on Yoshi's part. I think he's stated multiple times that there would not be any "Pet Ifrits" running around...

[Teuciont]

Already confirmed from leaked page that Ifrit, Garuda and Titan will be summonable by Summoner.

That didn't confirm anything, it said in times long past they did. They mentioned primal essence, so it might be something as basic are elementals.

It doesn't say WE as summoner's can.
"The beast tribes of Eorzea worship and summon forth beings known as primals, among which are Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan."

Says the beast tribes can. If we can summon them then it wont be to the same effect as it was in FF11 I imagine. Maybe only Summoners can summon the one time only primals FOR the Free Companies.

well maybe you go hunt the primal and you need a SMN in the party to "capture it" and then any SMN in the company can summon the primal via limitbreak

It's thoughts like this that cause major disappointment. :/

Arcanist may be the new BST job since they can call a familiar into battle.

"Strongly hinted at" then if you prefer.
