What I think arcanist/summoner will be

[Darkhaund]

This is part of what I THINK and what i HOPE

Arcanist : Class as we read in the "spoler and leaked info" will summon or call Carbuncle
Most likely will have some abilities (like bloodpacts) that are defensive and offenseive. I am pretty sure we will either have a perpetual cost sytem alike... or something where once you make the summon, eikon or whatever itis called do an ability... it will do it and fade away.
Hopefully twe will have more "summons, avatars" than carby...

Summoner: The job that branches from Arcanist. Will be able to summon more "powerful beings" like hopefully Typhoon, Fenrir and Siren (we have seen this on the concept arts) and I assume the Summoner will be the only job with the ability to summon the primal a Free company has. Wheter it is by a limit break system, a special ability or something.

Any ideas?

That is exactly how I think will work, it makes sense with Yoshis previous statements and the information that was on the web site.

here is yoshi's previous statement about arcanist:

巴術士については新生開始時には追加予定らしい
ソーサラーよりのクラスで魔法とWSでデバフを扱う、遠近両用のテクニカルなペット職らしい
とりあえず1.20のクラス再配置で足りない要素を何でもかんでも詰め込んだっぽいな
For Arcanist planning to include at start of 2.0
It's more of the sorcerer class that uses magic and WS to debuf and range and a technical pet class.

sounds more like beastmaster or puppetmaster where the pet stays out rather than a bloodpact/release type pet job, thats fine

a mage that uses magic, well thats fine too

a mage that uses ws to debuff, wonder how that will work out

sound to me that these Magicked gemstones are some type of consumables much like ffxi BST jugs.

I don't much like the ephemeral... basically it tells us we can't have him follow us around unlimited (mostly) like in FFXI? Hopefully he is not like a spell cast, and just pops to do his job then disappears ^^

I loved having bouncy Carby follow me around hehe ^^

Didn't the leak say they summon Carbuncle?

Unless Carbuncle is now a Magitek creature (which would be a bold re-imagining, just roll SMN and PUP into one class).

Yeah it did, sounds like it will be an interesting class.

[Darkhaund]

Maybe the WS is the actual "bloodpact" that carby will do
Aferall, in the removed description it said that the arcanist will call carbuncle. So mabe all the buffing, debuffing will be done via carby?

I imagine it being like in older FF games, the summoned primal (or it's manifestation) appears on the battlefield > does its thing > vanishes. I certainly hope that's how it's going to be, cause I'd LOATHE to see 10.000 summons running everywhere, just makes them feel less special when you have it following you like a b***h :x
