More egis

Anyone else find it funny that the primal minions look sooooo much better than the egis? I also find it funny that something as trivial as glamors gets so much bush back from the community. Or a pet job getting more pets. Yoshi and the devs are constantly saying "we listen to feedback" but any time a summoner asks a question they out right laugh at them. Maybe it's just me, but I gave up on smn a long time ago....just like the devs.

Yep, still waiting.

I wanted Leviathan and Shiva ; ;

I just wonder what happened with the promise of expanding on the Egi glamour system in every major content patch after we got carbuncle, forgotten about it or keeping silent hoping the community will forget?

Did they promise they would give SMN's a new Egi per major patch?

We need trancing egis. Make our current trio trance-able with their enkindle attack. Another suggestion for egi glamor is adding a lore where although the SMN can have more egi in his/her possesion, only three can be deployed in combat at any time. So in that manner you could have more egis with different animations but potency and skill wise, do the same overall.


There's really a thousand different ways to add spice of life to SMN but personally, I'd go for trance.

First off, players citing animations as time consuming: have you really seen how the egis move? Most of it is just minor flips and arm waves (that's partially why they look as simple as they do, so there's no need for complex animations to convey what they're doing) alongside sparkles and flashes of varying style.

Second, we've already seen several models in primal fights that can be egis for the player. For some reason SE thinks adding them in as alternate skins for the established pet roles (tank, ranged, melee) is on the same level as other game's pet jobs that have actual complexity and think this will cause some manner of imbalance. These excuses are literally just that, excuses.

Compared to other adjustments and QoL additions, more egis really should be a lot easier than they're telling us.

No, but to keep expanding on the glamour system, more colored carby's.
One example used by Yoshida in a LL QA was that certain Egi's could only fill x role, Sephirot egi could work as Ifrit / Titan but not as a caster, but a Ramuh egi could only be a caster type.

I suppose a promise was reaching a bit too far on my side, but it was mentioned that more glamours would be added in future updates, as said in the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXIII, at 52:20 time into the video.

"Other egi appearances will be added in later patches."
Which means you might not see another Egi in your arsenal until maybe 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 or not even until the next expansion.

And it apparently takes them 6 months to make new glamour clothing (and many years to make a male version of Gold Saucer glamour AND dye-able Post-Moogle cap) :T

I'm really, REALLY hoping we get new Egis (such as Ramuh-Egi, or Shiva-Egi) in Patch 4.2 at the earliest.
If not...then at the very least some form of acknowledgment that they're being worked on (like concept art or development footage).

You're not even wrong sadly. All the money this game rakes in and they can't give them more people to expedite these things.
