Customary "When are summoners getting new summons" thread

[Lambdafish]

I hope none of you are holding your breath.

Calling it now (really just again), it's going to be advertised as a 4.X feature the way it was advertised to be a 3.X feature back in 2.X. Lol, you guys still think that egi glamours are going to make it before the expansion. Hahaha, rich.

"We've finalized the specs for this system, but it will require a significant amount of resources to implement. Our plan is to release one each patch, and we'd like to begin implementation from Patch 3.4 at the earliest. We're still discussing which egi we should start off with, so please hang in there just a bit longer." - Live Letter XXVIII

I can see us getting different carbuncles in 3.4-3.45 (not really new egis, as they already exist in the game), then one per patch after that. They have not said anything about delays, so in my eyes that means that the 3.4 schedule is still on track (unlike diadem, which we heard about). We will learn much more on the 27th if that is the case.

What I think is sad is that people are holding their breath for glamours and not actual egis. Screw glamours. I want Leviathan, Shiva and Ramuh.

Because people are realistic and understand that each new pet is an extra 4 new skills for SMN, which need to balanced with not only the job itself, but the other jobs and fights in the game. Glamours are the same (new animations and skill names), but the balance and how the job plays is kept the same. You will get leviathan, shiva, and ramuh, but they will still have the same skillset with new names and animations.
