Free Company Summons - are they still on the table?

[Milmoko_Gemoko]

I remember reading some time ago (last year) while the original FFXIV was still online and ARR was just in its early dev cycle (heck it was called 2.0 lol) that Free Companies would be able to gain control of a summon e.g. Ifrit and use it at will once before it got returned to the "world" for players to fight over again.
I was wondering any more info on this?
Is it still in the works or has it been canned due to the Realm shattering nature of the Primals in ARR?

IGN have an E3 2012 article on The Future of Final Fantasy XIV and interview with Yoshi were its talked about using Ifrit as an example.
I'm sure I read somewhere else that it would be "a server wide event" when the summon was used so all players would know about it. I guess that in Ifrit's case that would be skies burn red for a few mins.

Anyway anyone know anything more on this please? or could a member of staff shed some light on it please? I mean it was talked about very publicly so surely an update on the idea would be cool, please
