The whole Summoner "has been re-worked" is sad

[Dement]

Carbuncle-egi reskin coming to a cash shop near you - please look forward to it.

In all seriousness though, this is probably the best way to approach the problem. Why add additional egi's if they're going to do the same functions as the current ones and people are still going to bitch about their designs?

I do kind of want to point out that they were avoiding trying to talk about the actual Summoner re-work and tweaks to their skills (or some of them anyway since they also avoided talking about the tweaks to some of older skills for the other jobs as well) because they were mostly just introducing some of the new skills to expect come the expansion, but that's none of my business.

Also this. They talked about new skills which isn't really the same thing as the re-design standpoint. I'd presume a re-design to be the way previous skills work. We know that spell speed now affects DoT damage and there could be quite a few other things of this nature that haven't been said yet. A lot of people seem to be under the impression that the redesign was an aesthetic one, I presume the redesign is to make SMNs less lol in raiding save a few situations. Sure there were good SMNs out there but most SMNs were not good in FCoB.

Nah, nevermind. I'm sure they touched on everything that they changed in the ~5 minutes that they had to showcase it and talk about it.
