I seen it with my own eyes.
They also using placeholder images and have broken links to the 3 images under the text.

Ok, lets wait. They made a post on Facebook saying "..the classes and jobs at launch...blabla"
But the website show the news from yesterday..didnt check it.

Arcanist may be the new BST job since they can call a familiar into battle.

[Punainen]

Except, that familiar is Carbuncle.

I think everyone is misinterpreting what people are saying by "Summoners can summon Ifrit, Garuda, Titan etc.".

I think what they are referring to, including myself, is this:

Ifrit and company are not pets. Carbuncle is a, however, more or less, a pet for mages.

I would assume Carbuncle and friends work somewhat similar to how he/they did in FF XI, more or less.

However, when you and your Linkshell/Free Company defeats Ifrit or any of the other numerous primals in the realm, the "Summoner" in the party can be the only job that summons him, as intended, for the rest of the party as either a 15 min, or a Limit Break, or hwoever they plan on doing it.

It would seem rather silly seeing a dragoon summon Ifrit after all, wouldn't it? :P

that's a pretty good way to reconcile whats been said actually.

I went back and cleaned my post up a bit so it's easier to understand. This is all just speculation though, as intended. I could be deader than a doornail wrong, but I guess we'll find out eventually!

I'd just like to throw out that I pretty much called out months ago on here in an old, old post (way back when Urianger Augerelt was being controlled around by the GM at Camp Horizon and the Grand Company intro quests) that Arcanist would most likely be the class that turns into Summoner down the road. Guess I was right in the long run! Hah hah

I mean it made the most sense to me with the fact that he summoned familiars at the player. (Drake, raptor, and that peiste)

This does make sense. I would hope they'd give SMN something other than Carby and some elemental sprites to play with in the mean time though. If they were only good for summoning the primals for Free Companies well... I wouldn't bother.

Maybe Primals are a higher tier of summon than what's possible for one summoner to control, hence a group being required to use them. You can see in storyline cutscenes how many Ama'jaa it took to summon Ifrit. Expecting your character to have equal power to 4 or 5 beastman summoners using a crapload of crystals to aid them is egotistic and silly.
