About the Carbuncles ...

I'd say the loss of Contagion will hurt you more than you think.

Carbuncle has Contagion; The ability is called Shining Emerald

This is why players complain that Garuda-Egi and Titan-Egi are really just a reskin of the Carbuncles.

Their abilities are exactly the same /w the Egis have slightly more potency to their attacks. That's it.

This is also why I feel adding them back would not be a big problem. If you upgrade the potency of the Carbuncles' abilities ... you effectively can use them as you would the Egis.

It's also why I have the suspicion that SE might have something else planned for them, hence don't want SMNs summoning them, it's such a trivial change to implement.

There are lots of threads with suggestions of things people wanna see in the game, and alot of them are the same suggestions everyday. I'm following this forums quite regularly since the day I signed up, but adding the carbuncles as summonable pets to the SMN job is a suggestion that I never ever read or heard before, not even once. So I think in the first place it's not a problem in the feedback loop, it's just that it's a suggestion/wish that is not not desired by too many players, let alone enough to catch the dev's attention.

Besides that, Yoshida already stated that additions to jobs will only be made in the expansion, since they don't want to give one job another skill but not to the other ones. As 3.0 raises the level cap anyway and will give new skills and traits to every job, a change like that would be held back until the expansion. This is also the reason why Leviathan and Ramuh egi's (which have been confirmed for a long time now) didn't arrive yet.

There were a few mega SMN threads where this is brought up.

It's a simple request. It's not a complicated change.

I don't really see how that applies here. The Carbuncles have the exact same abilities as the Egis. It would mostly be a cosmetic option.

Regardless of which, simplicity does not outweigh lacking demand.
