But any disappointment I feel that Egi Glamours are evidently still on track is solely my own fault for hoping for something that the devs had never remotely hinted at, if not out-right vetoed in the past.
So rather than whine about not getting something that was never really on the table, I'm just happy we still seem to be getting what they did actually promise us.

With that I agree

This was hosted officially by SE though so she was likely working from a script that had been OKed by Yoshi and co. From what I understand, however, she's talking about the egi-glamours alongside PotD stuff which means she MAY have been talking about 3.45. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they saved the egi-glamours for a minor patch since it's only applicable to a single job.

There's no mention of it in the Preliminary Patch Notes.

I think the keyword here is "Preliminary", not "Final".

Yeah, but usually all that gets added in the final notes is specifics to the existing notes. There isn't even a section in the preliminary notes that has anything all all to do with Summoners or Egis or glamour.

Or having the ones we have adjusted to an extent. I will admit I'll use the glamour for the pets with the exception of Titan and maybe Ifrit. I'll rejoice in the fact there won't be 6 threads a week on the subject, or when people ask how to adjust summoner it won't get riddled with "Make it look pretty"

So this is great to hear, and even better that we won't have to hear about it so much.

I must be one of the few summoners that just doesn't care about egi glamour. I don't mind them the way they are.

That does not matter. You could say that we aren't getting any new gear since it's not on the prelim notes so it shouldn't be on the final notes...

One thing about SE is they don't release something until it's done. If they keep pushing it back its probably because they wanted to make sure it was a nice feature and not something just tacked on.

I'd bet they're trying to make it insteresting with lore quests and maybe even adding a crafting aspect to it like normal glamours.

I'll get excited when I see how they're implementing it... I have a very specific concept in my mind that I think works well (off hand item adjusts what pet you summon, so item that summons Ifrit means you can have tank or mage Ifrit as well), and a very lackluster concept I expect them to go with (talk to a NPC to swap them out, down the road you can swap Garuda for Ramuh, but that's it).

Seriously SE, let me go out, collect the summons through off-hand items, and then switch them on the fly... Let me go "Oh, I'm fighting fire based enemies" and whip out Leviathan, then move to water based enemies and switch to Ramuh... No benefits for obeying the long forgotten elemental wheel, but let me pretend... If I have to go talk to a NPC, or carry around dozens of Glamour Prisms... Ugh...
