Saying this proves you never played many of the FF games.

So if it is "a mage with spells that are just visually different", they would be making summoner exactly the way it always has been in Final Fantasy games, FFX/XI/XIII for example are the exceptions, not the rule. FFXI was when it was a pet class, which is a game you seem to want SE to take nothing from.
