My Concerns/Ideas for the Pet Glamour System

With the pet glamour system, I am most interested in seeing/using the Leviathan-egi. Leviathan has always been my favorite summon. My concern is that Ramuh, leviathan and Shiva will each be reskins for SPECIFIC current egis, rather than being able to be used over ANY existing Egi.
I'm afraid that Leviathan-Egi will be strictly a reskin for Titan-egi and not usable to reskin Garuda or Ifrit (Who I think will be reskinned by Ramuh and Shiva respectively).
If the egis can be used over ANY existing egi, it would cause a lot of confusion for other players in the SMN's party who may think "wait, what egi is our SMN actually using?" in larger content.
My hope is that they'll revamp the egi system and make it so you can reskin any egi over any other egi. With this in place, they could/would have to rename the egis as well. So for example, if you summon a Leviathan-egi reskinned over Garuda, it could be called "Leviathan-Caster-Egi" or "Leviathan-Caster". A Shiva reskinned over Titan-egi could be "Shiva-Tank-Egi" or just "Siva-Tank".
Or they could even create a symbol for each type of egi, and put that symbol before after the name "Leviathan-Egi" to indicate which egi it's glamoured over.
OR they could create a new suffix entirely. "Egi" could now just mean "caster pet", "Ogi" (just a random example) could mean "Tank Pet" and "Agi" could mean "Melee Pet".
There are several ways they could implement it, I just really hope they don't cheese out and make it strictly: Shiva is a glamour for Ifrit-egi. Leviathan is a glamour for Titan-egi. Ramuh is a glamour for Garuda-egi.

If they DO force class-distinction onto the pets, I think it should ideally include Bismarck and Ravana. So it'd be Casters: Garuda, Leviathan, Ramuh. Melee: Shiva, Ifrit, Ravana. Tank: Titan, Bismarck.

What are your thoughts?
Do you think the pet glamours will have restrictions as to which pet the new egis can be glamoured over? What methods do you think could be used to allow versatility with the pet glamour system? Do you think any of my ideas work, and if so which?

My concern is that some or all will need a rare craftable item to glamour

Will definitely be either that or cash shop.

I've actually wanted a leviathan-egi since day one, so I'm right there with you. Though I've always imagined leviathan being an alternative for ifrit, with ramuh working as caster like garuda, and shiva "replacing" titan.

To be honest though, I don't imagine them adding this system any time soon, so we'll probably be stuck with the ifrit/garuda/titan dynamic for a while.

They have explicity confirmed that we are getting a pet glamour system "soon". Part of me thinks I remember seeing that it was slated for 3.1, but I'm not 100% on that.

I sure hope we can glamour any egi. But im afraid they will add a weird quest to unlock it. Do 500900 fates as arcanist with blue carbuncle to unlock it.
ive stopped looking forward to fun stuff in this game. Always a big gate infront of fun things

I could be wrong, probably am, but I think the most recent live letter stated they hadn't even touched the idea, yet. It's simply something being tossed around, idea wise.

They will most likely be acquired trough quests. The lv50 SMN quest already touches upon the possibility of acquiring more Egis to command, so we'll likely get back to that.
The glamour system sure opens up a lot of options at this point. Other than Leviathan, Shiva and Ramuh I'd like to see Ravana, Bismarck, Odin and others down the line. Why the hell not.

I see it being a summoner quest as well. The main thing about glamor is the glamor has to be set to a certain skill set, after all Titan is obviously going to have his own set, so I can see Leviathan having that role, using a whirlpool to replace Titans AOE standing and other skills to cover. It wouldn't really suit to have him also fill in as a Garuda or Ifrit unless they tailor one Egi to have 3 different sets....which I would be for but it doesn't sound likely.

Kinda disconcerting that most comments have turned into a discussion about how we'll ACQUIRE the egis rather than...replying to the actual post. :/
