i mean is not like we are not going to be exited when its officially anounced.. i know im gonna jump up and down when yoshi p uses his character and summons ifrit and b!tC# slaps a lvl 1 marmot to death..

Man the Dev team working on FFXIV must all have ulcers right now...

@ the Dev Team: Hang in there! Try not to stress too much at the community's demanding and constant judgment calls.

As much as I seriously wish Musketeer was finally ready to be released, we still have a bit of an imbalance with the classes. We know Arcanist is coming along with summoner, but I think we should probably add one more mage class in the mix.

...Then release my musketeer!

Even if Summoner was being released, would that mean that Yoshi's talk of "no one with their own pet ifrit" would just be garbage?

We will get lesser primals to summon.

Nope, still 1 Ifrit per world, just expect to see an army of blue squirrels.

Using Primals as pets.

Using Primals as pets.

This is how I see Summoner working in A Realm Reborn.

Arcanist has access to all the summons (minus the big boys and girls like Ifrit, Garuda and Titan), and in order to summon the greater primals they would have to switch to their job (Summoner) in order to call them.

The Arcanist and Summoner can use the folowing:

- Carbuncle

- All the Elemental spirits

- Fenrir

- Typhon

- Caitsith

- And any other smaller/lesser summons that the FF XIV team has hidden, and tucked away.

Summoner on the other hand can summon the following:

- All the above mentioned summons

- (The big boys and girls) Ifrit, Garuda, Titan, Leviathan, Shiva, Odin, etc.

I would just like to add one thing before my speculations close:

I don't have the quote with me, however, do any of you guys remember (or have the link) back when someone on the team said that you would have to charge something up in order to use the primal, or at least use him/her to their full potential?

Maybe that means you'll have to charge them up like with the new Limit Break system, and the summons "maybe" work into that sort of use? As maybe a big ultimate finisher like Hellfire with the in the party. And then they continue to fight after summoned until a certain amount of time expires or what not?

I'm probably WAAAAAAAY off here, but just figured I'd share my crazy, retarded thoughts

Arcanist probably only has access to Carbuncle, and will probably have it's own set of spells, or "spell summons" that aren't pets.
