    As long as they stay that niche, with no situational use outside of those niches, I can't see this as improving the feel of actually picking one's pet.

    It's still a step above arbitrarily changing skins of a pet for no reason, which is what Egi glamours are.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    Fair enough; I despise the idea of Egi glamours. But it's still far from enough, imo.

    I wish they wouldn't implement glamour egis. Traditional FF summoning has always been tailored to calling forth a summon in order to utilize the abilities exclusive to said summon. Being able to change the appearance of a egi to look like another cheapens the idea of summoner imo...

    Traditional FF summoning has also been completely unnecessary for anything but boss fights.
    "Traditional" summoning just doesn't fit so well with MMO-style play.
