The summons that SMN will have access to at first are Ifrit, Garuda, Titan, and Leviathan; yet Ramuh's artwork was shown and not Shiva. Good King Moogle Mog XII doesn't count, but I believe that he will be a boss for us since we can still obtain Primal Weapons.

I had a theory that as an Arcanist, if you fight a Primal and defeat it, you obtain the gemstone of the fallen Primal. You may be later able to equip it and then summon its essence. That begs to differ if you can only equip/summon one at a time, though.

Really? I knew Iffy, Garoody, and Titan were announced, I didn't know Leviathan was yet. Not that I'm complaining!

The gem thing kind of sounds similar to the mini-primal fights in XI, is that what you meant? In which case, that might be the method of obtaining the spell/ability for the 30/35/40/45 quests, if that's what they're doing with it.

It's an interesting thought, I hadn't considered it . Just means that the job abilities we obtain must relate/react to each of the gemstones in a different way.

In ffix you could equip eiko with different jewels to change carbuncle's move. Maybe in ffxiv you use summonstones to channel the Primals through Carbuncle which would explain why summoner cant use Carbuncle.
