RUBY CARBUNCLE? I just saw it. (No spoilers ahead, just noticed this.)

And yes this was not a critical element.

But I just saw a ruby carbuncle for real and freaked out.

Could this be spelling the possibility in the future for another egi for us? I realize Ifrit is on his own command key but it wouldn't make sense for them to go backwards?

Or maybe it is showcasing egi glamors?

Either way I just thought i'd post this for other arcanists to freak out at.

Not only that

Also there's an obsidian carbuncle

Saw it? Where? >.> Someone was using it? o.O

no player can use it .... YET

They said they were working on a glamor system for the egis weren't they? Could mean that it's near. If that's the case I am excited, even if they put out Egis but let us use Carby I'll be happy.

Did an NPC have one? Where did you see this??

This. Carby so cute. :3

OMG YES Please.

Just let me use the carbis again. I get that being summoners summoning essences of primals is cool, but those little creatures were way more personable.

So when they finaly give SMN's a "new" egi it's just going to be a re-skin of an egi we already had as Acarnist?

Oh. Looks like you had a typo. I fixed it for you.

Sadly I think this will be the case ; ;

I would greatly prefer Carbuncle (or even the SCH butterflies...) over whatever these egi things are supposed to look like. I'd love a Shiva summon skin, but so long as it's going to be an egi, it won't look anything close enough to Shiva to be acceptable.

Carbuncle actually looks like a summon unlike the booger squad.

I would drop everything and main a SMN if all my pets could look like any sort of Carbuncle. They are so adorable. That's a stupid reason to switch classes (though my favorite type of class is rdps), but I can't pass up the cuteness.

I hope we will get more information on this supposed glamour system...Holding out hope for cute summons

They better have let have Shiva and Ramuh egi.. even if they're just skins, I've wanted to fight alongside them for so long. They're my two favourite primals!

No, they're found to be like glamours is what they said. It'll be titan underneath for example but your egi could look like Bismarck.

No, they have stated that for now we will not be getting new Egis. More Egis really wouldn't serve any purpose besides being visually different. Instead, they are giving us a glamour system to change the appearance of our Egis. Hopefully Ruby Carbuncle is implemented in that (since he already exists).

I find it ironic you corrected their 'typo' but left 'finaly' and 'Acarnist'. xD

I'm okay with this, so long as they build on top of what they already have (i.e. new abilities).

Just saw an amber carbuncle in a certain questline, how many of the damn things are there?

I want a carbuncle to replace Eos/Selene! XD If Summoners can get re-skins I see no reason why Scholars can't :P

and Eos and Selene are ugly poor things

I want it so badly http://s3.postimg.org/fhbor5w77/ffxi...015_194918.png

If you read the live letter its said that the motion team are working on the new pets. So im guessing its not just a reskin. If they are only doing a reskin of existing, there is no need for new animations :)

I would be happy if we can even summon the existing Carbuncles, never mind new pets.

that is so cool but what on gods green earth is taking so long on the new egi glamours they had two years to do this come on square-enix team

It's never really been a priority. It still isn't. It's basically a side project.

I want the obsidian carby from the msq

That's the thing. It should be a priority. Especially after delaying it so long.

YoshiP says they listen to the community. Well ... show me.

In the main story line...

Alphinaud makes use of the knowledge he learns of the aetherial arts to design a Ruby and Obsidian Carbuncle as you progress.
