Egi Glamour Update

[SoloWingMetatron]

I don't understand why people are at odds over Egi Glamours...People are acting as if it has to be one thing (Egi) or the other (Demi-Bahamut). But that's never been the case. It's perfectly plausible to have both the Egi, with a whole plethora of glamours. As well as Demi-Bahamut and other Summons like him. Personally I adore Demi-Bahamut! He encapsulates everything about what a Summon is, and is definitely the greatest addition to Summoner. I have read some people on here and on Reddit request that glamours get introduced to Demi-Bahamut. So that we can glamour him into any of the Primals. Which I think is a great idea. But I also kinda like the fact that Demi-Bahamut is special. He is an Elder Primal after all. So I feel he would always need to be a special, more powerful type of Summon in order to reflect that.

I love my Egi just as much though! I like the fact we can have some type of permanent Summon out, that functions like a pet. So I will always champion the Egi and their glamours! I am really hoping more Egi glamours are announced soon. I have been slowly building up a Summon macro book (classic FFXI style) so that I can switch between all the glamours on the fly and Summon them instantly. That may sound kinda silly. But I really enjoy building up that macro book, and I really hope I can fill it up with an Egi glamour of every single Primal. It's just a personal goal of mine.

this has being going on since 1,0. People think that if they work on 1 item, it takes away another. People still haven't realize different teams work on all aspects of ff14. like the dungeon team isn't doing egi glamour.

they also feel it is a waste of resources better spent on their favored content.

This is true. I just find it very silly is all. Of course it's only natural that different people love different things about a job. For example I love the Egi and Demi-Bahamut. But I know other people who prefer the DoT's and instant nuke abilities (Fester, Painflare). However the truth of the matter is that all of these things can coexist and will continue to be developed as the job progresses.

I see a couple comments on this thread of people seemingly asking for the Carbuncles to just replace the Egi all together. Which is fine if you prefer the Carbuncles. But suggesting for the Egi to be removed for them makes no sense. The systems the Carbuncles and the Egi use are the same thing. Both utilize the exact same pet system. The Egi glamours already allow you to change every current Egi into a Carbuncle. I also assume that when other Egi glamours are released, that more Carbuncles will be released alongside them as a counterpart (Ramuh Egi/Amethyst Carbuncle for example). Which just facilitates my whole point that we can have all of these things WITHOUT having to ask for other things to be deleted.

If people want more Summons like Demi-Bahamut, I totally support that. If people want more Carbuncles, I totally support that too. And if there are people like me who also want these things and more Egi glamours. Then obviously I'm going to champion that also. All of these things are helping to build up Summoner and expand the amount of limited Summons we have. People should be coming together and supporting anything that helps expand on the jobs main theme. Summoning! Instead of being selfish and immature..
