Exactly.

One of the worst things that the devs could do is rush the creation of an Evoker/Summoner class/job in order to get a pet job out asap.

Take some time, get it right.

Hopefully it will have more colors than green, though, and be a bit more complex than in XI. The horn CAN look good if they are stylistic about it. It was a bit too 'clunky' in XI (in my opinion), but that seems to be the default 'look' for summoner in past games.
I'm not worried about the eventual SMN AF. Akihiko Yoshida's designs for this game have all been stylish updates to the traditional looks - and I'm sure Summoner will be no exception.
