Which would not work with how summons exist in FFXIV. Judging by the Limsa story and the R38 story (and some before that) the Summons are never going to bend to our will. In fact they're using others more than anything. Not going into specifics for sake of spoilers but go watch the story missions if you haven't and want to know.
