@beaten, lol
Arcanist is getting carbuncle, which will have two roles: Tank and Caster
Summoner will be able to summon the essense of the Primals.
The music in the trailer as they're running past the windmills reminds me so much of the Chrono Trigger theme...
Someone needs to translate whatever Yoshi-P said when he mentioned "Samurai" and "Ninja". @@; I'M DYIN'
the wind mill zone gives me nostalgic flashbacks of my first time in Konschtat Highlands
Arcanist reminds me a lot of Evoker from III. I suppose the other job option for it will be Scholar.
I was reminded a lot of Ronfaure and Konschtat Highlands in part of that trailer.

The points say Arcanist should be there at launch, but summoner will probably be added in one of the first patches.
lol ;x
it would be interesting if carbuncle is the vessel used to invoke the essence of the primals. I want a giant ifrit squirrel with flames. Nah, but I'm really starting to think Summoner 'primal' summons will be more akin to a one time spell 'hit-it, and quit-it' than a perpetual ally that fights at your command. It seems they keep stressing 'essence', and I do not believe it will to be like ffxi's avatar system or backstory.
I'm inclined to agree with you about the invoking them for one ability, but watching Carby glow different shades to embody different primals would be awesome as well.
