Thats a fairly recent one.

"We call tell you that we’ve decided to put a Summoner class in the game. I want to be a Summoner."

"...The foundation or system for using pets in battle is currently being made. So yes in the future there will be a beast tamer type of class. Again, it’s all about that adding one class means adding more jobs and all these extra things. So all these jobs won’t come at the same time. It’s all about the priorities, but it is on the list and we are making preparations for it.
Like one idea could be for example maybe having a beast tamer class and that job would be like a summoner type of job."

Theres a real old one 1.19

Theres been a couple more recent ones about Summoners would get something like carbuncle. but he was not commital enough to leave use guessing.

What i would say is theres not much need to lay groudwork for a pet type class if there won't be one. Unless we want to assume something even more radical, that being one of our current classes/jobs will become pet users?
