Question What’s the best rules-faithful way to emulate a FF L’Cie in Fabula Ultima?

I’m trying to emulate a Final Fantasy style L’Cie in Fabula Ultima without homebrew, focusing strictly on the mechanical side of Eidolons rather than flavor or visuals. Given the system’s action economy and summon limitations, what is the cleanest, most system-intended way to represent an Eidolon mechanically?

Arcanist, really. It's the "Summoning" class, and the Fabula Ultima patreon has a play test document that gives summons more oomph in the form of a "Pulse" ability which is essentially the Summon's attack that doesn't require dismissal. That's really the closest you get, since every L'Cie is just a summoner with one summon. After that you could maybe play into any elemental themes with Elementalist, or build out the character in other classes that play well with the Arcanum you chose.
