Noticed a ramuh-egi during Ramuh fight in the trailer for 2.3 Defenders of Eorzea, that confirmation levi and ramuh egi will be for 2.3, or was that tease? >.<
I'm pretty sure it was a tease. Yoshi said it wouldn't be fair to give Summoner new stuff and leave out
every other class. So most likely no more Egi's until a level cap raise/more abilities.
Per Yoshida's words we won't be getting additional egis until the next level cap raise when they give everyone additional abilities. Those are most likely enemies like the mini Titan guys in Titan extreme or Garuda's sisters.
Well those were adds of some sorry as they were being used around a mechanic to bounce the lighting strikes horizontally through the party. But it is possible that it is a new egi but I doubt you would like it in the way believe it can be used with out technically breaking the promise...SMN specific aoe limitbreak animation.
or you know it's just like titan ex where we have the egi's in the figh, since they already stated no new egis till lvl cap raise.
You can cleary see an egi atking him, its got some redish horns and his dark dressing, its on the lower left corner when the striking tree title shows up :o
Since it's clear you didn't actaly watch the video or try to look at it before you posted. Pause it a1:47 they(there are 3 of them) are exactly miniture Ramuhs, not egi's but actual mini-ramuhs, still larger then the player. There is 3 of them all moving at the same time, doing the same animation, and the same effects. They don't have horns they have the red wing things, i'm assuming are lightning rods. They charge up an effect and then all 3 launch the effect at ramuh which he then follows with a giant lightning explosion on him. This looks like what would be titans jump but for ramuh. In no way, shape, or form does this look like an egi, it looks exactly like ramuh, it's very easy to see that it is multiple adds and that they are just powering up ramuh not attacking him, like in many other fight.
Pretty sure Yoshi stated long ago that level cap increase won't be until expansion release. Plans change so not sure if that's still the case or not but definitely wouldn't hold my breath for that in two weeks or so (it'd be bad for your complexion at least!).
Edit: Well, maybe not bad for certain Roes' complexions XD But still probably bad for overall health, so yeah...
I'm pretty sure Yoshi-P said that they won't be releasing new Summoner egi's until the level cap increase because that would be unfair to the other classes. It could happen but I don't think it will for patch 2.3. Also, I'm pretty sure those were little mobs on the trailer but it's not clear enough so I'll just reserve judgement. ^_^
Oh and I think that the first "new" egi summoners will get in the new expansion will probably be Leviathan but I could be wrong :)
Read pause it at 1:47 seconds it's very clear whats going on and that they are not egi's. Everything I stated above, and considering you can count the amount of player's and see that there aren't 3 summoners in the party and that there are 3 ramuhs on the field, and that they are all larger then the player. it's 100% clear enough. Even if they changed the plan for releasing an egi(it was stated before that classes/job would be release in patchs and not just expansions) the earliest we would see it is with ninja, and when they balance the rest egi's which would be 2.4.
Ah right, so those black mage-esk lightning atks hitting him are just powering him up somehow, still those could possibly be our egi's at some point as least model wise, they have that kinda elemental aura and they are not an exact copy of him like in grauda's fight, do remember seeing something a long while back of it, ah well >.<

at 1:44 seconds you can see that 2 of the ramuh are shooting giant blue lazzer beams of lighting at players not at ramuh himself. and yes It makes perfect since that in order to power up ramuh they charge him with shocks of lightning, like charging a battery. We see this style of fight as least twice in every ff, ffX has like 5 fights like this. It's very possible that each time they charge him he builds a stack towards judgment bolt.
That is a much clearer picture, a shrunken down form of that I could see as a player egi, similar to the garuda fight. So I stand corrected on looking like an egi.
However there are still clearly 3 of them, not 3 summoners in the party, they are too large for an egi(unless se changed their mind) and they are clearly involved in the boss mechanics of the fight and not belonging to a player.
Now if this is the player egi F-yeah the beard
