5 Summons for the 5 Races, FFTactics style. The above list are only guses from the released screenshots of summons. http://www.ffxiionline.com/main.php?ffxii=9 - scroll down to almost the very bottom.
Well, as was already pointed out, we have yet to see evidence of all five races being included in the party. More to the point, however, the fact that Ifrit has been confirmed means Shiva will eventually appear. It's inevitable.

However, it seems everyone is linking this to FFTA, because of Adrammelech and Altima/Ultima. However, note that Velius is also on the list. Adrammelech (then Adramelk), Altima, and Velius all appeared as Lucavi in the original Final Fantasy Tactics. It wouldn't surprise me to see Zalera or Hashmalum or something on that order also joining the summoning list.

On a personal note, I would like to see a dark elemental summon called Pandemonium. Think about it: Alexander (the usual holy summon) was a castle in FFIX. Pandemonium, for those of you who haven't read Paradise Lost, is the castle or temple where Satan and his minions meet after being cast out of Heaven. Alexander has always had something of a castle look about him (even if he's usually a robot), so this would be great for contrast. It would also recall FFII, where the final dungeon is indeed Pandemonium (or Pandaemonium, actually), the castle from Hell.

And, yes, I want to see the regulars: Odin, Bahamut, Phoenix, Leviathan, and the like.
