My thoughts on Leviathan fight.

[Huntington]

There will not be a Leviathan egi due to the simple fact that other classes will want new skills as well.

I've actually talked about that myself before, this is an excerpt from it:

Main point there, is that there could be a possible way to break Lore in XIV and improve the Egis. Then again, SE would have to do something that the fan-base wouldn't be outraged over, and balance issues need to be heavily considered then as well, especially when we will most likely get Leviathan in some shape or another a month or few months from now, maybe not right at the release of 2.2, but sometime before August I'd warrant. You then have to ask, what do the other classes get from this? What do they get out of beating Leviathan if it comes to that?

XI is still giving us options to new Avatars, a certain feline is becoming available this March, then you had the 6 base summons and Carbuncle, Fenrir, Odin and Alexander in Treasures of Aht Uhrgan, and possibly even more down the road. How is XIV's Egis going to compete with the sheer amount of options that we had and still do have in XI? And how could they balance it out if we have access to 5+ different summons? I'm basing a lot on how XI was developed and programmed, but this points out a significant issue to me personally. If XI had access to 12(forgot Diabolos) summons in one shape or another, how could that be incorporated properly into XIV without breaking anything? And if SMN gets so many additions, what will be given to other classes to make them more appealing themselves? The fact of the matter is that SMN has an abundance of creatures to call forth from the wellspring that is Final Fantasy, what makes other classes more interesting if you have such great diversity added?

I still don't see how it would mean that SMNs just don't get anything all-together just because there wouldn't be something strictly for other classes. There have been several times when one class has gotten access to something that no other class could, why is it now "one for all or nothing at all?"

Because they changed their mind, now they want to have balanced jobs.
But maybe they could make Leviathan-egi avaiable but have the same spells as garuda's ( or Ifrit or Titan ) so that they don't get new spells but still have their primal.
