Arcanist and Summoner artwork

Haven't gone through the thread but in case no one has translated what was said, the books will be physically thrown at the monsters, according to Matsui san and Yoship.

Really? Zexion style?

listen its ok with me... we have summoner.. and what we summoned in 11 was their astral form after beating them and getting them to basically agree to master them... a tanking and caster form for carby.. plus primals once we get the summoner job.. what do we have to complain about? DoTs.. Enfeebs.. summons... atleast i wont main healing like smn/whm from 11 and for those that complain about not having RDM well all RDM mained was dots and enfeebs... minus the upfront attacking from RDM.. SMN is pretty well done if you ask me no need for RDM job

that puts a whole new meaning behind having the "book" thrown at you....

Pretty sure that throwing the book was said in jest.

I envision a page lighting up out of the book and flying over to the mob like a projectile for an auto attack.

what i really want to know is if Summoner will get its own summons or if it will only summons like ifrits left arm or part of it which i think would be so lame i want a full body summon

I'd be fine with throwing books at people's faces. Specifically ones that teach people the difference between Red Wizards and gimpy mages.

There is a courthouse next door to the Arcanist's guild.

[Valiant]

there are other games with books as weapons.... book will most likely flash and shoot a non-elemental bolt of some kind or the pages will move and from the casters hand a non-elemental bolt.. thats if they steal from other games.. unless they do their own thing

Cait Sith was in the concept art for 2.0 so that's a possible pet for Arcanist.

So dose Fenrir and Titan ^-^

I hope so to or it make FFXI summoning epic.
