It isn’t fine, noone claims it plays like a level 90 job and even its most ardent supporters won’t praise the levelling experience - something deeply concerning given it’s, you know, a starting class. The incredibly modular design of the so-called summons essentially means you have 5 buttons to shuffle around outside of burst, ifrit’s dash/slap combo even gets broken by ruby ruin so you can’t save half of it for small movements in the next few seconds.

Furthermore the style of summoner it appears to want to emulate already existed within the game and in a less janky way - specifically on blue mage.
