Arcanist and Summoner artwork

[Zantetsuken]

So what happened to all the funky staves & rods that all the Arcanists at Melvaan's Gate have?

The models will likely be shelved for a while and perhaps reintroduced later. But I doubt any of them will be around once ARR starts...

hmmm... looks like Arcanist/summoner uses Grimoires

Good call~ I'd be shocked if they didn't use that term.

I wonder though, will they be crafted by Leatherworking, Clothcraft, Carpentry or Alchemy?


-------------

A debuff class will be interesting though. It definitely hints to the game having more than just the WS-spam-kill-in-20-sec-mobs that the most recent Yoshi interviews have covered.

Either that or this job and class are going to be designed around boss battles only.

-------------

As far as the other summons, we already have art/models for: Typhoon, Siren, Fenrir, Cait Sith, in addition to the normal primals... so I think SMN will have lots of options.

The art sure makes it look like the summons will be ghostly shadows of the real summons -- perhaps Carbuncle is the only 'Pet' and the others are all one-shots? Hmm...
