Triforce of Carbuncles! ( Maybe spoilers?)

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...psmbb7tsdo.png

Third time seeing this npc in Idyllshire. So I thought, why not make a Triforce of Carbuncles? ^_^

Speaking of Carbuncles, I really hope Square Enix will make more color varieties of Carbuncle plushies in the store... they could make a whole series of them! :o I'm secretly hoping for a rainbow colored Carbuncle. What about chu guys? :3

Technically there are more than three types of carbuncles, I can't say anymore due to the expected 10 month old "SPOILERZ" of a minor not important plot element.

There is a Emerald (range dps) and Topaz (tank). I always wondered if they ever intended for a third Ruby Carbuncle as a melee dps with stat/dot effects or Healing-support pet, that never happened. In 3.X Alphinaud Summoned a Ruby Carbuncle,.... (that little troll of a nerd.). For whatever the reason they couldn't give three carbuncle summons they could at least make three of them as minions and give them an effect when they are all together.

Doesn't also summon Obsidian Carby? Not 100% on it but I feel like I seen an Obsidian Carby somewhere like right before 60 story.

Everyone always forgets Urianger's Amber Carby. It looked to be the Topaz body color, but Emerald's skills.

Alph does. He gets the idea after meeting Matoya and studying in her cave. I think he breaks it out during an Azys Lla battle.

Inb4 the different carbuncle colors for the Summoner glamours are placed in the cash shop.

#Please look forward to it. . .

You see it when you rescue the Scions from the Castrum right outside of Mor Dhona.

And minor spoilers, but now we also have the giant white carbuncle named Diamond in the world. So I am hoping we get a whole suite of gem carbies.

My biggest fear is that "Summoner Glamour" is going to amount to dumping a load of different colored Carbuncle skins on us, dusting off their hands, and calling it a day.

I mean, sure, it'd be great to glamour as Carbuncle, but I hope the pet glamour system is a bit more robust than that...

I know that Ulan (an NPC in the Anima questline) has a Diamond Carbuncle. That's by far the prettiest Carbuncle I've seen thus far.

My biggest fear is that not only will it be that, but it'll be thrown into the cash shop as well for like $5usd per color.

I'm resigned to that. It's already the case that SMNs generally don't use more than ONE of their THREE summons. Where would be the value in adding three MORE summons that Summoners don't use?

Maybe SE will one day buff Titan and Ifrit to the point where they can compete with Garuda, or give them skills that make them more valuable in certain party configurations. When that day comes, perhaps I'll get enthusiastic about the idea of additional summons for SMN. But for now, Contagion is simply too hard to compete with, and giving us three new summons that can't compete with Contagion would be a wasted effort.

If SE has no plans to rebalance the pets Summoner has (and it certainly seems that they don't), then giving us the illusion of additional summons by, for example, allowing us to summon a Ramuh that performs the same type of attacks as Garuda, is about as good as we can hope.
