i think the point was, why add new egi that fit the same role than the previous one. it's not like in FF11 or the other FF where one summons have one skill. here the summon have more skill and it seems with heavenward will get far more skill.

i think the idea to add skin that can be chosen later is the right solution. and more important will offer to the summoner the posibility to customize him play style, since you will choose the skin of your egi. maybe something like:
- you don't like ifrit-egi, use leviathan-egi instead
- you don't like garuda-egi, use Ramuh-egi
- you don't like titan-egi, use shivah-egi

or some stuff like this.

tell me in what it's different of what do a black mage? instead to see the black mage cast the fire ball you will have a head of bahamut shooting this fireball, in the end is simple a visual change, that not different of what do the blackmage.

it's like i have said before, a summoning jobs like in other FF, is only a black mage with different animation. the spell have the same function and same effect, only a different visual.
