So, Pet Glamours

First, I'm excited we're finally getting them, SE. Though many of my friends and fellow players have been asking, and REALLY want to know:

Will this be a SMN-only privilege, or do their SCH compatriots and MCHs get to enjoy this too?

I personally would love an Magitek Bit/Allagan Node as my Rook/Bishop :)

I could be wrong, but I believe SCH may be getting Carby along with the SMN. As far as MCH goes, I don't believe they have been mentioned at all.

I would hope were not overlooked as turrets are treated like, and fall under the category, parameters, and functions of pets.

So far no word of SCH or MCH officially.
Egi glamors in general are happening in the first place because of SMNs not getting any new pets in 3.0, when it was widely expected that at some point they would. Instead of focusing development and balancing on making new pets and having them stand out from the current 3 pet system they choose to focus on upgrading and tuning up the SMN itself for 3.0 and help out the current 3 pets there. That being said the desire for new summons was still there (and many were angry of course lol) so it was revealed that they would make a glamour system to fulfill the classic idea of a SMN having many summons instead of just having 1 per role.

I'd hope mayhaps with enough suggestions and request that it will happen. To me it would make sense if they changed the turret looks depending on the weapon since its more of an additional weapon attachment. With faeries i can only think of like color swaps but I'm sure there are other designs that can be made to match them and some lore can be made to go along with it as Selene/Eos are their own entities unlike Egis being leftover aether formed by the Summoner.

I would like to be able to change the look of the fairy as well as a SCH. They didn't get new fairies either. I would love to be able to use a cute Carby.

SE termed the feature 'Egi Glamours', so that's enough indication in itself that it's a SMN-only deal. While it's possible, based on feedback, they may expand it to other Jobs their primary reason for doing this is to appease players that were expecting new playable Egi only be told they weren't going to get them in the end.

Except the difference is SCH's were never given the impression that they would get a second Fairy in the lead up to the expansion, unlike SMN.

I feel like its a waste of a system to limit it to SMN only, even if it's only SMN that gets new glamours, and the system only allows SCH to revert back to carby, that would be something. When you build a system like this, it makes far more sense (resource wise) to make it as open as possible, rather than limiting it to one job.

He recently said that it was more than they thought resource wise and that's why it will be one Egi per patch POSSIBLY starting with 3.4. So I wouldnt count on other jobs for the near future. BUT maybe it's more than they planned for this exact reason, to include the other jobs. Only time will tell.

Thats the point though, a little bit more work to make a far more accessible and used system is less "resource per head" intensive, which makes it more appealing to produce
