It's really not that much of a difference. Worth it for the cuteness factor outside of all but the most recent content.

Exactly! You get get what I'm saying. X3 And it's true, if all I do is remove the Summoner job crystal, ACN still has relatively similar stats. I'd sacrifice the higher dps numbers and give them to BLM if in return I got a whole new Ruby Carby and the access to other classes' abilities - that becomes a very versatile dps class (with the highest cuteness stats in the game, to boot). ^w^ You could focus on full dps with Ruby, go ranged/support with Emerald, or Full-on tank with Topaz! Seriously, the first time I ever took on Titan, at level 30, I did a better job tanking and healing with Topaz Carby and CNJ abilities than our Tank and Healer together. xDD
But Mugiawara, I'd still rather have Ruby Carbuncle as it's own summon on ACN than just as a skin on SMN. Once Summoner has Leviathin-Egi, Ramuh-Egi, and Shiva-Egi, I'll have nothing more to complain about as far as how the SMN's pets look. (But don't forget SE, then we'll need Sapphire, Amethyst, and Opal Carbuncles to go with them) ;3
(And don't forget my sit animation for those Carbies!!)
carbuncle ftw! , give me carby or give me death!
This thread is... 8 years old? But I still desperately want a sitting animation for Carbuncles. Now that we can glamour Egi's to look like carbies, what's the reason SE?! I get so jealous every time I see the skywatcher in Idyllshire. Her adorable carbuncle just sitting there. Next to hers, mine looks like it has an anxiety disorder, always ready to attack. Pleeease, SE, give us sitting carbies!
Since writing this, SCH can now glamour their fairies to look like Carbuncles. And I know they worked out how to add new animations, because the Carbie has a new animation for casting specific healing spells. I hope this is their way of slowly working out how to add a sitting animation for "stay", in the ARR spaghetti code. I really hope it is!
