Troll SMNs realize this and will glamour Titan-egi to emerald or ruby top make it appear that they're not using Titan-egi and deliberately try and rip hate off of the tank with it and nerf their DPS.
    Ahhh I see. That's a d**k move, to be sure. I went with Topaz carbi for titan, emerald for garuda, and ruby for ifrit. *shrugs* Just seemed like a no-brainer to me. :P

    It's such a no-brainer to me that I'm kind of confused we even have the option to do it any other way tbh.

    That would just make the system pointless. People want to be able to summon whatever egi they want but we arent allowed to do that so we have color carbys for the time being. Restricting them to same colors they originally were for wouldnt be a smart option for the whole egi glamour system.

    When this came out I didn't read carefully enough. I unlocked it and immediately tried to glamour all my summons to have titan-egi skin. Found out we can't, only glamour to carbuncles, biggest disappointment.

    If Garuda could only be replaced by Emerald or say hypothetically Leviathan in the future, then they only have to make 5 animations for Levi-egi instead of 15.
    I'm worried that with the current system as is Levi-egi will have no animations and will just be chucking fire around.

    That is a great point actually, now im nervous with what will become of the whole system in the future. Hopefully they get it right since many of us are really tired of what we have now as summoners.

    just went through the animations for the egis and carbys...
    carby has 3 unique skill animations,
    'Ruda has 4? unique skill animations, enkindle seems to be shared.. if not, its very similar and gets lost in the particle effects
    Ifrit has 5 unique skill animations,
    Titan has 5 unique skill animations,

    So assuming we get a levi glamour, I might assume they will only make 5 animations tops anyway and share them across the egis, not make 15 slightly different animations across every egi.

    If you mean levi as it's own egi period, I have a hard time seeing them have more than 5 skill animations at all unless we get more egi skills

    and here i thought topaz was a no brainer for ifrit- it's the only carby that has has a fiery-looking butt.
