I'm not completely sure?
One of the two aforementioned Shaman roleplayers asked Koji at Fanfest if we would see Ala Mhigan shamans come Stormblood, he said yes. He might have implied that the few Conjurer NPCs we have are the Shamans my friend asked about, but I somehow doubt that? Of course I don't have any proof of that, beyond just having to take my word for granted.
Not to mention they scrapped the whole Oracle deal for the Ala Mhigan class.
So who knows they might meant to be the Oracle class before it got shafted in favour for Red Mage. What makes me really sad because man, I love spellcasters, but eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I didn't put that well. What I really meant was, all the Shamans we see in-game appear to be Conjurers? So my thought was, maybe that's just how Ala Mhigans view Conjurers. I mean, the border between the Shroud and Gyr Abania was pretty fluid until Baelsar's Wall. So it seems to me that people could have migrated to Gyr Abania after learning Conjury. And what is Conjury? Communing with the elements or the "spirits". And what do Shamans do? They commune with the elements or the "spirits."
Seems to me like a cultural flavor of Conjurer. But I could totally be wrong! If only they would tell us what is really going on, it would be so much easier. xD
