LOL! I found this:

And completely irrelevant. Summoner in XIV never claimed to be the Summoners from the rest of the series. Summoners from the rest of the series meaning: White Mages/Black Mages with worthless espers/eidolons/aeons/summons/guardian forces tacked on for story purposes.

VII: Knights of the Round is the only viable Summon.

VII: GFs exist for junction. Outclassed by everything else.

XII: You use the very first one you obtain once to open a door.

XIII: Vanille Death Trick for early Trapezohedrons.

III, V and Tactics are the only outliers where summoning is the primary focus of the summoner character, but summoners aren't considered good jobs in any of those games.
