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.
    As I read it: The pet will be a companion that you train by developing skills. It is not a Summoner type of class.

    Yep... My reading is that chocobos are going to be one of the pets.

    Really? Ohhhh, that's interesting! Where can I find that?

    But the poll still does mention "avatar" in it. That's all I'm trying to say really. The use of "avatar" is a throwback to the Summoner class of Final Fantasy XI.

    Actually the chocobo is not "one of the pets" your chocobo will fall under a different system call the buddy system. No matter what class or job you are on through the buddy system you can raise and train your chocobo to fight along side you. The SMN job will be able to summon avatars and the such from the interviews that Yoshi has given.
