New Stay Command Animation for Carbuncle?

Why can't I get my Carbuncle to sit!? >.< It obeys every other command I give it... I know this can be done from a programming angle because I've recently seen a few different NPC Carbunlces sitting for their summoners! (both Topaz and Emerald) The animation is there, now let's associate it with the Stay command or something! Seriously, would it be so hard to make Carby sit when I hit the Stay icon? I mean, the icon itself even pictures a sitting Carby! I wouldn't care if Emerald and Topaz Carbuncle were the only summons that this applied to either - there don't have to be special animations for any other summon - but the sitting Carbuncle looks so cute! And a sit animation to accompany the Stay command just makes sense...

Any devs out there with an answer?

They won't bother because everyone uses summoner, well, those who still with summoner, that are not so much now to be honest...

They already decided because lore stuff and bla bla to not allowing us to use carby as summoner, despite ALL THE THREADS!

I refuse to call blue buncle emerald.

it'll forever be known as Sapphire Buncle.

generally speaking, I don't know why, but I think at least out of combat they shouldn't be in an offensive stance.

Probably won't be implemented because the sheer cuteness factor would literally blow peoples minds.

Now everything has sense!...

But.... But.... Please, SE, we promise to train already for that cuteness so we can reduce the impact!...In Mor Dhona we have ruby the carbuncle for training!

PS: Can we adopt Ruby as summon III for SMN?

PS2: Can we have carbuncle companions instead of choco-boredom? Can we dye our carbuncle companions?

I have no idea if this has anything to do with the localization choice or what even the original name is in the Japanese version, but a lot of cultures do not distinguish blue and green and separate colors. It feels wrong coming from one which does!

Anyho, having Carbuncle sit on command would be a cool detail to have within the game. However, sadly, Carbuncle is completely abandoned after level 30 for the vast majority of players I really doubt they'll do anything more with it. Here's hoping they make a high level Carbuncle for SMN in the future but we'll probably get something no one wants, like a milkshake summon to go with our chicken nugget one.

The best part is that neither Emerald, Sapphire or Topaz make sense as names. The only gem they ever show to have is a ruby.

You would STEAL a carbuncle from its beloved Arcanist!? You knave!

(And besides, SMN already has Summon III. It's Ifrit-Egi.)

lol really enjoying these responses so far. XD yeah, btw, Parry is right that green and blue have a very similar meaning in Japanese - I do at least know that much from two years of classes. lol v.v;; but Bluevann, what if there was a red Carby for ACN called Ruby Carbuncle that had similar abilities to Ifrit? ;o but yeah, I've seen all the threads about a Carby for summoner, but TBH I would much prefer Ramuh and Shiva for SMN and Ruby Carbuncle (and accompanying sit animation!!!) for ACN. d;

In fact, I think a red Carby might just give ACN back some popularity points. I'm thinking... special lvl 50 (or maybe 60 in Expansion) ACN quest anyone? :3

P.S. Adrian, you crack me up. xDD

Is bumping allowed on this forum? XD Because I still think this is a good idea...

There's no point, you would have to sacrifice a lot of dps just to summon it.

Also I don't play summoner primarily because carbuncles are overwritten with monstrosity-egis.

It's really not that much of a difference. Worth it for the cuteness factor outside of all but the most recent content.

Give us Pet skins. There, now we can have Carby all day, everyday! No one gives a damn about these ugly Egi's.
Have Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Carby.

Exactly! You get get what I'm saying. X3 And it's true, if all I do is remove the Summoner job crystal, ACN still has relatively similar stats. I'd sacrifice the higher dps numbers and give them to BLM if in return I got a whole new Ruby Carby and the access to other classes' abilities - that becomes a very versatile dps class (with the highest cuteness stats in the game, to boot). ^w^ You could focus on full dps with Ruby, go ranged/support with Emerald, or Full-on tank with Topaz! Seriously, the first time I ever took on Titan, at level 30, I did a better job tanking and healing with Topaz Carby and CNJ abilities than our Tank and Healer together. xDD

But Mugiawara, I'd still rather have Ruby Carbuncle as it's own summon on ACN than just as a skin on SMN. Once Summoner has Leviathin-Egi, Ramuh-Egi, and Shiva-Egi, I'll have nothing more to complain about as far as how the SMN's pets look. (But don't forget SE, then we'll need Sapphire, Amethyst, and Opal Carbuncles to go with them) ;3

(And don't forget my sit animation for those Carbies!!)

I shamefully admit I'd do it... And that I also already killed my ifrit until the point I forgot there was a Summon III already >_<

carbuncle ftw! , give me carby or give me death!

This thread is... 8 years old? But I still desperately want a sitting animation for Carbuncles. Now that we can glamour Egi's to look like carbies, what's the reason SE?! I get so jealous every time I see the skywatcher in Idyllshire. Her adorable carbuncle just sitting there. Next to hers, mine looks like it has an anxiety disorder, always ready to attack. Pleeease, SE, give us sitting carbies!

Since writing this, SCH can now glamour their fairies to look like Carbuncles. And I know they worked out how to add new animations, because the Carbie has a new animation for casting specific healing spells. I hope this is their way of slowly working out how to add a sitting animation for "stay", in the ARR spaghetti code. I really hope it is!
