FFXIV: new Arcanist class + Summoner job

The new Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn website has been updated with two new sections: Armoury System (classes) and Job System. Visiting them now, you can see a "Coming soon" class in Disciples of Magic and a "Coming soon" job here: actually, these are Arcanist and its job Summoner, both using "pets" (Carbuncle and primals' powers)!


Their pages have been up with wrong images (CNJ + PLD) for a very short time, but SE quickly removed them.

Materia list bug. [Link >>]
On this lodestone page listing the various materia and where to obtain them, there are 2 listings for hell's eye materia, and the second listing is in the place of savage might materia, resulting in no listing for savage might.
Bayohne>> Sorry for the delayed reply on this! We've identified and fixed the issue you reported! Thanks for the report! :)
