RIP summoner

Guys, I've been hearing for months now that egis are useless. Now it is revealed that egis will get more abilities to be useful, we might get back carbuncle and we will be able to merge with bahamut and maybe other summons to deal all sorts of horrible damage. The reaction is: Why don't we get more egis? Well I thought you hate em.

Because most summoners complaining about this stuff aren't concerned with gameplay or job balance. They play summoner for purely cosmetic reasons.

It was hard to make out what the Translator was saying. Honestly, she seemed tired so I can't blame her if she made a few mistakes here and there.
She really had gotten 'bad' at the end to where she quickly ran over WHM/SCH spells and fumbled alot on SMN.
I felt like she kinda cut some things in half to just hurry and run over the details.

I'm very much concerned with balances and are glad for some buffs. Just want more things to play with. Not that hard of a concept lol.
At least we get Ahk Morn. ._. But if the Carby thing is true, I'ma happy camper lol.

Q: "What is a summoner?"

A:

Glad I could fix that for you.

This. So much this. If you want more of something, don't spend damn near 2 years bitching about it.

FROM THE DIGEST SUMMARY
"However, I’m sure many are wondering if they will have to continue looking at the same egi forever, but we are planning to add a system in the future that will allow you to change the appearance of your egis, including Carbuncle, but their stats will remain the same."

Egi glamour so most likely new egi appearances plus carbuncles!

I'm glad they are fleshing out egis. It seems like most people here care more about the "looks" of the summoner and the lore then actual gameplay. I want the class to be complex and have a high skill ceiling, I don't give two hoots about what pets are summoned. If there is a best pet, I'll just use the best pet. If we have to swap pets to do more dmg, I'll do that. I don't care if they call them iffy or titan or if they look like a cloud. As long as the gameplay is good then I'm happy with the job.

I didn't get to see the stream due to work... Is it true about the Egis and using primal ability?

I guess SMN is a blue mage now, sweet

I agree with this.

I want Egi glamour for the expansion... not later... may we can change Garuda for Ramuh / Ifrit for Levi and Titan for Odin or something.... i dont care if u just change the "visual effects" but skills remain the same...

From LL summary thread

During development, we thought long and hard about this, but we will not be adding new egi at this time. Looking at the long-term, instead of adding more pets, we felt it better to give more use to the job by adding actions to summoner. However, I’m sure many are wondering if they will have to continue looking at the same egi forever, but we are planning to add a system in the future that will allow you to change the appearance of your egis, including Carbuncle, but their stats will remain the same.
