Is beastman the same thing as summoner?

No, Currently in xiv the beast tribes are the only ones who have access to the primals they are there gods. and Members of the beast tribes are currently the only ones who can cause them to manifest them self physically.

No Beastman can summoner the avatar, Ifirt e.g that there gods. The 5 race have 12 gods and the beastman each have there own gods. Each of the beastman can summoner there own god to help them they also take the form of them. They worship there avatar to the point that there body look like them. Now SE said that all beastman are not evil most of them think that talking it over would bring peace to the world the others think that war would. In the storyline we talk to the beastman and tell them we both may not get along but we both well get kill by the empire. The empire wants to get all the avatar and use them for something if you ever saw the opening movie the big dragon blow up the ship and all the avatar was release from it they trying to get them back again,.



@Griss yep he 100% right about it only the beast tribes for now. btw griss don't you think it mess up that we know noting about our gods but more about the beastmans? i wish we could learn more about our own gods.

So at the end yes we could use them later but for now no we can learn from the beastman like spell and other stuff. Maybe this also could mean they could be a blue mage job in the works and summoners could be a class that pick up the avatars from the beastmans.
