http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/about/...magic/conjurer

Conjury calls upon the elements of earth, wind, and water and concentrates them to a potency at which spells can be weaved. Through practiced meditation on the essences of creation, conjurers draw forth and absorb aether from their immediate surroundings. A wand or cane made from unworked wood is then utilized to focus the aether until it manifests as the desired spell.

Versed also in magicks that restore and strengthen, conjurers are regarded as accomplished healers.

Well.

That issue can be put to bed, at least. O.0

Was confirmed by a dev a while ago that CNJ still had the element water and Cure was not it iirc.

[Shuichi]

And there you have it. Summoner is the new job. Take a look before they fix it.

[XalienLevi]

how lame. They could've rocked this announcement with some fancy video.

I still want to know how people expect this to work for most of the classes without another massive class/job rehaul.

[Eagleheart]

Isn't an announcement though, is it? O.o They're just sitting there on the site, unannounced. People just threw out a guess and typed it into the URL.

noooo i missed arcanist

[TacoTaru]

Links appear to be dead already. The descriptions in case anyone missed them:

ARCANIST - DISCIPLES OF MAGIC
Accompanied by a familiar in battle, adepts of the art of arcanum derive their might from symbols of power born of geometric techniques hailing from across the southern seas. Held within special grimoires, these symbols lend shape to the arcanist's aether, thereby allowing him to produce myriad powerful spells.

Using magicked gemstones upon which the selfsame symbols are graven, arcanists are also able to summon forth the ephemeral being Carbuncle to carry out their bidding.

SUMMONER - JOB SYSTEM
The beast tribes of Eorzea worship and summon forth beings known as primals, among which are Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan. Yet what is a god to one man is a demon to another, for the city-states of Eorzea see these beings as a grave threat to their collective survival.

In times immemorial, there lived mages who had not only the power to summon the primals, but also the means to transmute the primals' essences, thus binding them to their will. Known simply as summoners, the existence of these men and women and their arcane art have been all but lost to the ages.

Yea but the news is now leaked on the OF and here. It pretty much ruined any hope of surprise now.

[Volken]

Oh sadness.. I feel sorta bad for them, people would've been way more excited from an official announcement.

[Shuichi]

They took that shit down fast!

Sure, we know Summoner and Arcanist are the new jobs for sure and we may or may not have spoiled it for ourselves... but there isn't even any screenshots, let alone videos, of how these jobs function or look like etc etc.

We only have flavour text really, so the actual meat and potatoes of these jobs is still a mystery. Look forward to that at least!

Also god damnit, I guess I'm gonna have to play Summoner now.

[Gokulo]

Nice, always had a soft spot for summoner, can't wait to see its AF!

[Stef]

They did mention in previous interviews , if I remember correctly, that they had developed a system for pets and that summoning was a key element of any Final Fantasy game. So it wasn't altogether unexpected.

Wouldn't be surprised if this class/job is ready for release. It'd be perfect for all those Sephiroth's playing the game now.
