Plus there was an NPC from the alchemist quests that wore the staff and was from the arcanist guild.

The arcanist kind of reminds me of Yuuko from xxxHolic.

I think they made the right choice by allowing Summoner's to use part of the primal's powers. Different summons could have been interesting but its just not FF. FFXII didn't feel right with its Zodiacs.

If they're wanting to give FFXIV a more Final Fantasy feel, its good that they're sticking to FF traditions.

Woo! Thanks a lot for posting this!
I'm even more excited for Arcanist/Summoner now =D
I was slightly worried over the fact that they would only be able to summon carbuncle, but since there's two different types of it, it allows for a bit more customization. The DoT abilities are of course welcomed because no other classes can really do it at this point. I'm glad that even though we can't summon the primals themselves we'll be able to summon this so called "essence", since you can sort of treating as if you're summoning the primal.

For the none believers, here is a Arcanist GM in action.

So you want that everybody who haven't choosed the arcanist in the char creation menu should do first a quest to get the permission to use a book (like in FF XII)? Everyone who have choosed Arcanist during char creation would have the permission from the start.
But don't do it only for Arcanist, but for every class. You begin as THM and then you need to get a permission (buy it or quest it) to use another weapon type. Each weapon type get a own permission key item.

No because those are the base classes they're wanting arcanist to be an "advanced" class but it's not going to be one. The advanced versions are the Jobs that stem from the classes.

However I get what you mean that's why I keep telling said person it's not going to happen

People. Gotta love how thick they can be sometimes. I give up trying to argue this point, and just hope SE doesn't give books away(And whatever the second class weapon will be) willy nilly...

Unless SE only releases Art like wow did for Death Knight. It wont matter if they just give it to you or you have to do a question to unlock it. All the people who have the DoW and M will pick it to level it up. And alot of new people will most likly do the Monkey see monkey do, new player " Oh every seems to be leveling this job Art must be a good class!" /goes to get it.
