Summoners are a must have the way i see it. EVERYONE wants to see the famous FF Summons. The battle system is changing alot. and even at this moment they could easily be intergrated. the way i see it NOT having a summoner is a slap in the face to fans across the world. doesnt matter how they do battle just not having that class in the game is just wrong. and nothing is wrong with pet classes. your only limiting the game by not wanting these types of classes. and everyone knows that FF has become to be known for its awesome stories summons and intriguing characters. so the way i see it not having summon is a sin.
