Scholar Pet Glamours

[JunseiKei]

Where's that Angel Feathers art from, out of curiosity? Is there any accompanying info you'd be willing to share?

Final Fantasy XIV Heavensward The Art of Ishgard Stone & Steel artbook that went on sale, I think, a little before 3.0 was released.

Again, I'm all for SCH to get glamour on their fairies but lorely speaking (yeah, don't know if the expresion is correct but I like it ^^") it would not work and, as it means more work for SE, I would not be surprised if they use this as a excuse :/

Lilly is a construct. She is summoned just like a carbuncle, stitched together with astral and umbral aether... but shes special. She has memories and a tiny little personality. Why? As the scholar, we are using our job stone as a flash drive for Lilly's memories. We aren't summoning some entity from another world. She is an advanced learning carbuncle of our predecessors' design that stores her experiences into the job stone.

Lilly is her memory, not her form.

Considering how this is merely SE's way of compensating for not providing new playable Pets, if things had gone as intended SCHs would've been stuck with same two Pets regardless whilst SMNs would've had a wider choice. Making it SMN only works because that Job's theme (unlike SCH) is having access to multiple Pets, which they're representing via this glamour system, so to call it 'unfair' is silly. Also nothing's really stopping you from playing SMN if you like seeing the Carbuncles so much.

I thought she was a living creature in fact like idk, one SCH stone, one proper fairy attached to it, ours being Lily, the other SCH being....idk....Mimy and so when Carby is just a creation we make from the aether and not a proper living thing isn't it ?

Carbuncles are stones given aether and form.
Egis are the energy from a primal that have tainted part of a being's soul (probably misread or misunderstood what the book was saying).
Faeries are memories of past mages given life through aether, using the stone as an anchor.
Lily was the name of Surito Carito's faerie from his particular Soul of the Scholar that we find. Lily is a special case as she does have a personality and intelligence, but cannot communicate.

Like some kind of ghost in fact ? (fairies)
1 mage -> all his memories in one fairy or each memory is a different fairy ? (pretty compliacted ^^")
So in fact fairies are as "stupid" and empty as Carby except for Lily ?

Not a ghost. Your job crystal, like Soul of the Scholar, holds memories of previous owners. The faeries are just another part of the memories- just like the skills that you unlock along the way. It's like like the memory of this person turns into the faerie or the skill, just their knowledge of the skill when we've attained a high enough aptitude. Notice from level 52 to 60 it's the soul crystal teaching us and not the NPCs surrounding the job quests.

For lack of a better explanation, yes, the faeries are hollow and stupid just as much as carbuncles are, sans for Lily.

Might not happen because of lore, but I'm hoping for a male fairy.

Helios and Oberon, make it happen!

I'd be happy with this.

The name Oberon is completely unrelated to Eos, Selene and Helios.
