Now that could have just been used as an example and me delving too deep into things or it could have pointed to a summoner-like class, if not a summoner itself. Also Yoshi says he wants to make FFXIV more FF-y, one of the staple classes of Final Fantasy since 3 is Summoner. So I think if not soon, eventually. At that point the Primal system may be tweaked or who knows what but it'll be fun when it finally gets here.
We're probably going to see the less iconic but still pre-existent summons, and perhaps something unique to Eorzea (here I am praying for Ark and Knight-Shiva from FFTA)
