Summoners are known for their ability to [[Summon (command)|summon]] [[Summoned monsters|magical beasts]] to fight for the [[party]]. In games with summoners as part of the storyline, summoner ranks exist, such as Conjurer and [[high summoner]]. Summoners generally have some of the lowest physical stats in the game but also the highest magical stats. Their [[Weapon (equipment)|weapon]] arsenal varies by game, but most games show them equipping [[Rod (weapon type)|rods]], [[Staff (weapon type)|staves]], [[Dagger (weapon type)|daggers]], and sometimes [[Whip (weapon type)|whips]]. While the details of their appearance vary from game to game, summoners often wear robes of green and white, and in some games also bear large horns on their foreheads, said to allow communication with their otherworldly allies. Whether these horns are natural growths or part of the summoner's outfit varies between games.

Summoners use special magic that allows them to call forth summoned monsters. Summons usually cost more [[MP (stat)|MP]] than the average spell, but are much more powerful. In some games, summoners also have the ability to cast either [[Black Magic]] or [[White Magic]] as well as to summon, thus making them more versatile.

The summoners were a race of people who lived in [[Madain Sari]] and possessed a horn on their heads. Almost all the summoners were killed after [[Garland (Final Fantasy IX)|Garland]] destroyed their hometown. [[Garnet Til Alexandros XVII|Garnet]], her mother, and [[Eiko Carol|Eiko's]] parents and grandfather survived the attack. By the beginning of the game, only Garnet and Eiko are left alive. Garnet/Dagger and Eiko can summon [[Eidolon (Final Fantasy IX)|Eidolons]] and cast White Magic. However, Dagger's abilities focus on her summons while Eiko's focus on her White Magic, and the two learn different spells and summons.

The summoners are people who embark on [[pilgrimage]]s across [[Spira]] to pray to the [[fayth]] of each temple to obtain the power of the [[Aeon (Final Fantasy X)|aeons]] they create. All summoners' goal is to obtain the [[Final Aeon]] and to use its power to defeat the monster known as [[Sin]]. A Summoner who manages this feat posthumously gains the title of High Summoner. [[Yuna]] is a summoner in the player party, and can use Summon Magic and her [[Sphere Grid]] path teaches her White Magic, although she can also learn other abilities from the other characters' paths. [[Seymour Guado]] is also able to summon, as are many [[non-player character]]s, like [[Dona]] and [[Isaaru]].

The Summoner has a versatile action ability that allows them to aid comrades and foil adversaries, rendering them a valuable asset despite the greater-than-usual MP costs of the summons call for. The Summoner's damage area is unique in that it consists of two tiles outward and one tile diagonally from the selected point on the battlefield, for a total of thirteen affected tiles.

They call on Espers to aid them in battle, either by damaging foes or healing and casting spell effects on the party. To compensate for this unique casting ability, their Move stat is low and their summons cannot be cast far or tell enemies from allies.

RydiaDS

Rydia of Mist is a Summoner from Final Fantasy IV.

The Summoner (召喚士, Shōkanshi?), also known as the Caller or Evoker, is a job that appears in various games in the Final Fantasy series. One of the earliest introduced job classes, summoner first appeared in Final Fantasy III.

Profile

Summoners are known for their ability to summon magical beasts to fight for the party. In games with summoners as part of the storyline, summoner ranks exist, such as Conjurer and high summoner. Summoners generally have some of the lowest physical stats but also the highest magical stats. Their weapon arsenal varies by game, but most show them equipping rods, staves, daggers, and sometimes whips. While the details of their appearance vary between games, summoners often wear robes of green and white, and in some games also bear large horns on their foreheads, said to allow communication with their otherworldly allies. Whether these horns are natural growths or part of the summoner's outfit varies between games.

Summoners use special magic that allows them to call forth summoned monsters. Summons usually cost more MP than the average spell, but are much more powerful. In some games, summoners also have the ability to cast either Black Magic or White Magic as well as to summon, thus making them more versatile.

Usually, summoners and their summons possess some important story element; such as the summoners of Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy X, where the concept of a summoner is focused and expanded further from a mere job class and where their presence and powers significantly change the landscape of the world they live in.

Appearances

Final Fantasy III

See also: Evoker (Final Fantasy III) or Summoner (Final Fantasy III)

The Summoner is a job gained from the Earth Crystal. Summoners are magic users who have harnessed the power of high summoning—the ability to call forth a combined Black and White Magic effect. Summoner is considered to be a powered up version of the Evoker job.

The Evoker is a job class gained from the Water Crystal. Evokers can summon powerful beings into battle. Each possesses a direct attack (Black) and an indirect effect (White), triggered randomly at the time of summoning.

Final Fantasy IV

Main article: Summoner (Final Fantasy IV)

The summoners are a race of people who possess the power of summoning as a birthright. Most of the summoners are wiped out at the beginning of the story, with Rydia being the only female survivor, while a few unnamed male summoners remain in Mist. As a summoner, Rydia is capable of learning Black Magic and Summon Magic. Enemy Summoners are fought in the Feymarch.

The summoners were a race of people who lived in Madain Sari and possessed a horn on their heads. Almost all the summoners were killed after Garland destroyed their hometown. Garnet, her mother, and Eiko's parents and grandfather survived the attack. By the beginning of the game, only Garnet and Eiko are left alive. Garnet/Dagger and Eiko can summon Eidolons and cast White Magic. However, Dagger's abilities focus on her summons while Eiko's focus on her White Magic, and the two learn different spells and summons.

Final Fantasy X

Main article: Summoner (Final Fantasy X)

The summoners are people who embark on pilgrimages across Spira to pray to the fayth of each temple to obtain the power of the aeons they create. All summoners' goal is to obtain the Final Aeon and to use its power to defeat the monster known as Sin. A Summoner who manages this feat posthumously gains the title of High Summoner. Yuna is a summoner in the player party, and can use Summon Magic and her Sphere Grid path teaches her White Magic, although she can also learn other abilities from the other characters' paths. Seymour Guado is also able to summon, as are many non-player characters, like Dona and Isaaru.

The Ronso are willing to construct a statue of Yuna with a horn on her forehead. This is further alluded in Final Fantasy X-2 where depending on the player's choices related to the Ronso throughout the story they may construct such statue.

Main article: Summoner (Final Fantasy XIV)

The Summoner is a Soul Crystal job for the Arcanist class. Summoners can call the Egis, small versions of Primals, to fight alongside them in the battle. Summoners primarily rely on damage over time effects, but at higher levels they can inflict devastating area-of-effect attacks.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Main article: Summoner (Tactics Advance)

Summoner is a job for the viera race. Summoners wield staves and are the paragon of MP with outstanding Magic growth compared to even most nu mou jobs.

The Summoner has a versatile action ability that allows them to aid comrades and foil adversaries, rendering them a valuable asset despite the greater-than-usual MP costs of the summons call for. The Summoner's damage area is unique in that it consists of two tiles outward and one tile diagonally from the selected point on the battlefield, for a total of thirteen affected tiles.

Main article: Summoner (Tactics A2)
