Pet Glamour and SCH (Live Letter)

[LadyVal]

-snip-

At least from my point of view I wouldn't need Emerald's or Topaz' skill sets. I'm a healer, I don't need a pet trying to steal aggro from the tank nor do I need a pet that will extend the duration of my DoTs, since while I DPS as a healer, it's not my focus. Plus people complain enough about healer DPS on this forum, giving SCH pets that boost their DPS or a pet that DPSes by itself is just asking for hell to open up.

So for me, arguing for the look of a carby but the skills of my fairies is a logical one.

Didn't they mention once that they plan to redesign gardua, titan and ifrit egi's to look more like the Primal's they are supposed to represent then just dazzling geodude crystals?

I really enjoy playing summoner but the design of the egi's are just bleh.

There is a good example of how the egi's should be like with that add in Ramuh's fights as it looks like a proper mini version of him.

I don't see that, honestly - the Ramuh-Egis in the Ramuh fight look as abstract as any of the others, in my mind. And since I actually LIKE the abstract look for the Egis, I was happy with how the Ramuh-Egis turned out.

and it seems the causal crowd out way the non casual gamers. When it comes to wants and needs.

I really don't think that casual vs. non-casual is a factor here. Both camps would LOVE to see a greater variety of summons and pet abilities.

You know....why couldn't the Egi's look like the Wind-Up minions? That's my question...

Hmmm...that's not a bad idea actually, they start out small, then you could have them "evolve" to something stronger and bigger the more you do battles with them....like pokemon! lol

Blackcanary is sorta correct. Yoshi stated a couple times he didn't want summoner to be a complex class and using the egis more would make people overwhelmed. So in the end the summoner became more powerful and the egis forgotten, but what new game has any pet class be an actual pet class anymore?

I'd even be happy if we could glamour them to look like that, so its like you're controlling a "baby/youngling" version of a primal.

Though I imagine if that was a thing the price of the minions would skyrocket.

In a previous live letter it was said:



Was SCH considered in part of this glamour system?

I know that the question was directly for summoners, but it's an opportune time to ask. Allot of scholars just want their carbuncles back, some want more color palette options, and others a male variant. Fairies do glamour themselves in most mythology so I feel the lore would be flexible.

Added into the current letter to the producer thread.

Reeaallly wish this would have been answered. Q.Q I have a creeping hope and I don't want it to die D: <\3

[Adventica6]

Maybe if the summons designs weren't so bad you wouldn't have to make a glamour system for our own darn pets eh?
