Basically, that's what they are. It takes an entire Free Company to summon the real deal.

But being able to summon badass looking creatures was my favorite part of being a summoner. And also cutie pie carbuncle. Sadness.
Yeah, true... I don't mind them, but I'm more hoping the actual gameplay of summoner is a lot of fun that it won't matter.Basically, that's what they are. It takes an entire Free Company to summon the real deal.

Me, I'm all about the superficial stuff. Not even joking, I need things to look cool/cute or my enjoyment level plummets.
Arcanist can summon Carbuncle! In theory Summoners should still be able to summon Carby!Basically, that's what they are. It takes an entire Free Company to summon the real deal.

I can see how the scaled-down version of the summons make sense from a lore perspective, but I'm more interested in having badass beasts at my command than staying consistent with the game's mythology.
It still may be possible to 'level up' the avatars later on to make them look different. That would be pretty cool actually. Customization of your avatars!

I think they look pretty cool.
This looks really cool, the summoner garb is perfect...

Only arcanist can summon carbuncle. The way the job is set up, arcanist learns Summon at level 4 which summons a caster/healer-type pet and Summon II at level 15 (class quest) which summons a tank/support-type pet. What pet is summoned depends on whether you are currently arcanist, summoner, or scholar.Arcanist can summon Carbuncle! In theory Summoners should still be able to summon Carby!
Summon
Arcanist: Emerald Carbuncle (caster)
Summoner: Garuda-egi (caster)
Scholar: Fairy (healer)
Summon II
Arcanist: Topaz Carbuncle (tank)
Summoner: Titan-egi (tank)
Scholar: Fairy (support)
Summon III (SMN level 30 job ability)
Summoner: Ifrit-egi (DD)
Very interesting. Seems like Arcanist might be a nice self-sufficient class. I wonder what kind of damage they can do, if any, while their summon is tanking or healing.Only arcanist can summon carbuncle.

Arcanist gets some good non-elemental offensive spells (Ruin, Energy Drain, Ruin II) and non-elemental DOT spells (Bio, Miasma, Bio II, Miasma II). Ruin II has blind as an additional effect. Miasma adds a disease effect which lowers the enemy's ability to recover HP by 50% as well as a 40% gravity effect, which is potentially very useful against enemies like Ifrit who have high natural HP regen. They also get Virus which reduces an enemy's STR, DEX, INT, and MND by 15% and an ability to distribute dot effects on an enemy onto other enemies nearby. It definitely looks like you'll have enough to do while your pet is out.
While not summoning the actual primals is a bit sad, it's not horrible. The summons currently look like elementals you might find in other games with pet classes. Which I think are pretty neat.
In regards to the summoner armor, it's my favorite of the caster armor so far actually. White Mage looks bad on males and black mage looks weird on broader characters, like the highlander I want to make. I really do not like the "robe" choice they decided to go with for their caster art, but the summoner armor has a longer coat, with open legs, which I like.
