As I’ve explained before, the Arcanist class in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has two additional job paths players can go down: the Scholar, focused on support, and the Summoner, focused on, well, take a wild guess.

Now, the FFXIV dev team has provided us with some screenshots of the egi, or summons, that will be available for the Summoner job.

And as a bonus, there’s a picture of Summoners of all different races in their artifact armor:

What do you think of the egi? What other summons would you like to see in FFXIV?

Oh wow, these are super lame. I was considering being a summoner, and I'm glad I saw these so I don't waste my time with that class!

[Ouch!]

I think they look pretty slick.

[Raistlin]

I'm not sure I like Titan, but Ifrit and Garuda look pretty cool. It's different, slimmer takes on the typical summons/primals, in a form to be easily noticeable and distinguishable from monsters.

[Jinx]

I'm glad you guys like theses. But I hold to what I said: these really don't appeal to my tastes, and I will now not be a Summoner.

[Formalhaut]

I think slim and downsized probably fits about right. You don't want them too big, otherwise they'll just get in the way probably and be a nuisance.

I have to say, Ifrit looks damn right demonic in that night time.

[Vermachtnis]

Titan looks like the Yellow Demon from Mega Man.

[Ouch!]

I think the idea behind the aesthetic is that egis are meant to only be the a fraction of the primal. It's just it's essence, and therefore incomplete. This makes sense, as the summoning of primals in FFXIV drains the world of aether, slowly killing the world. If we had summoners running around calling primals all the time, that'd make no sense from a lore standpoint.

Titan looks awesome. The summoners look silly. I'm still just as interested in this job, but it's probably not going to be my first choice.

[Pumpkin]

Ifrit is creepy looking. I like what they did with him.

[Del Murder]

Hm, those are quite different than what we're used to! It will take some getting used to. Titan looks like a blob though.

[comma]

Titan looks like a big chunk of rock, as he should.

Did anyone see this glimpse of the summoner in action from a couple weeks ago?

[Raistlin]

I sure hope so!

[Bierhumpen_Kukki]

hm...titan reminds me of earthis from the smt-series. oO but whats missing for me is shiva!

[Miriel]

Booo, I'm not impressed.

Summoner was one of my very favorite jobs from FFXI. But why do they always have to give Summoners the most boring ass outfits? Ugh.

Also, these summons kind of look weaksauce and not as badass as I would want. They look like little baby summons.
