SMN Why don't we hear about egi glamours anymore?

Right now because their are a lot of issues with the job in just pure playability wise that the devs really can't be taking the time to worry about aesthetic changes. I would also say that it seems very likely that ego's may not even be a thing past this expansions. Demi's continue to take more and more center stage, and the egi system in general has been an overall massive frustration point for long time SMN players.

I get that there are bigger issues with the job, but I feel like the same team that balances jobs isn't the same job that models and codes egis. Also the egi glamour has been something we've been waiting for a follow-up for for literally 2+ years, while the job issues have only been a big topic of discussion for like 4 months.

No.... but now you have two races added to the game that can't even display all the armor and can't use all the hairstyles in the game, and it's very likely that IS the same team since it's a graphical issue.

True. But on the issue of balance, I sure miss the days where my pet was more than just a ghost following me around effectively acting like a dot I applied to various targets. Tanking through my Pet was fun...I don't like this iteration of SMN very much at all.

Actually I think it's the opposite. You're more involved with your pet than ever with the current pet rework. Back in Stormblood it was viable to just keep Ifrit on Sic if you don't care too much about minmaxing your damage, while you only cared about Garuda's contagion but forget it exists afterwards.

Not really, but that's okay we can agree to disagree. Now, sure we have some buttons to click, but besides that our pets are basically invulnerable--invincible--and therefore irrelevant to gameplay in every way except for dps mitigation. I really enjoyed healing my pet with the SMN and playing through the pet by letting it tank for me...but, those days are gone. Now it's basically just a glorified floating dot with a few DD clickies.

So it's not like what you're saying isn't true...I just really don't like the fact pets are untargetable, and hence, incapable of tanking.

With Demi summons, a tank pet simply wouldn't work anymore. It needed to be scrapped and it was about time.
