Now do not get my wrong, I would love to have a summoner class in this game, but with the current lore behind the game a summoner class would really not fit with the storyline. To add a summoner class, it would kind of have to be a new type, ignoring the main stream FF summons such as Ifrit, Shiva, etc... Maybe a spirit type summoning, where they are not the defined elemental spirits like shiva=ice ifrit=fire, but maybe somewhere lower up the ladder, but still powerful, something new.

As far as battle tactics with summoner as well as pets, I could see a similar system as FFXIII and FFXI dragoon where maybe the pet/summon(if applied to game) would do attacks that coordinate with your own. However, with the stamina system, being able to individual control a spirit as well as your character would prove difficult.

Does anyone else feel like summoner would not fit with the game in its current state? I do think pet classes in general would work just fine, but not so much a summoner class. Feels like they would need to alter the storyline for the summons to be implemented.
