Question to the devs about previous plans

[Soundwave]

A while ago, it was mentioned (in a dev interview I believe) that once we got our new avatars, we'd be asking "How do we control them"? Obviously, whatever was previously planned for a new avatar(s) didn't get implemented. And I'm sure now that due to changes in the game and the dev team, it never will get implemented. But I'm still curious about this; what were the plans for new avatars before we ended up getting Odin and Alexander?

You kinda answered your own question...they said we would be asking how to use them which they were referring to Odin/Alexander. They have done pretty much everything they have stated in a road map with summoners. Unless I'm missing minor things.

"Q: Where are the new avatars we were promised last year?
A: Sorry for the delay! We were asked this question at practically every media interview we've had here. It's still a few version updates away, but we can say there are two "large" new avatars in the works. I hope that when I come this time next year, instead of asking about the existence of these pets, that you're asking about how to use them and what they can do. - Mitsutoshi Gondai"
