Where is Cait Sith and Atomos?

[Yamimarik44]

I'm just slightly curious if the Dev Team has any idea or indication as to when we will be receiving Cait Sith and Atomos on our summonable spell list? You guys said it wouldn't be this update but most likely down the road. And on the Update Road map there is no specific indication as to when they will be implemented. So Camate or any other community Rep. if you could convey this message and ask the Dev Team just a ball park estimate as to when we'd be seeing these Avatars and their quests implemented into the game. I would greatly appreciate it please and thank you.

Best source I can find that gives us the hint we'll be seeing these avatars.

<Cait Sith> yes please, but no dark elemental avatar we have enough at this rate we should be renamed to necromancer lol

They already stated Atomos is coming too, and he'll more then likely be Dark based.

Doesn't look like they're putting them on the test server for months. Knowing our luck, we won't hear about them again for a year and most likely not have for another 3. D:

Not to sound pessimistic on your pessimism or anything, but I just don't see that being a realistic time line for them releasing Cait Sith and Atomos. The Road Map for updates said the 99 lvl cap is coming sooner then we all expected and our Avatars are our spells for Summoner. Every job will have new upgrades to all kinds of new spells by 99. I believe we should have realistically gotten them this past update, but I won't push. Honestly though realistically thinking I see us getting them at least by 99 cap update, but I pray it's sooner(this is my wish now).


My reasoning for thinking 99 cap wouldn't be here till later is just them ironing out what ever bugs they may in counter. So I didn't see lvl 99 cap till like May-June2012, but if they putting it on test servers in January I'll expect it around February-March we get lvl 99 cap on real servers.

Last time it took 2 years to add Alex and Odin as 2 hour only. Considering they want to give Cait Sith normal moves, and it would be about 10, the expected time is 10 years.

However, I think even SE realize taking 10 years to release next avatar is too long, so hopefully they put more resources on it this time. (Last time must have been just summer workers they took in to code it all)

they shouldn't have teased us with cait sith if they were planing to wait to long before actually putting her in

[Yamimarik44]

Well we actually don't know a definite time for when Cait Sith and Atomos will be released. Which is why I was hoping to catch one of the reps attentions and get a definite answer. Any kind of hint of a time of release would be great!! You know you want to tell us Camate!

The reps only answers the questions they wanna answer.
Saying when avatars come is unfortunately not one of them :/

Given the new cutscenes in voidwatch, I'm guessing it will be near the end of the voidwatch stuff, and will likely require finishing the voidwatch stuff to unlock them. Makes sense to me give how useful smns are for most of the fights.
