Well since the egi glamour became a talk about the job here is what i feel actually is the problem.

currently smn is indeed a mess in its mechanics with them not working together. That is indeed true but thats mostly cause they removed the aetherflow clock and replaced it with trance. What was a fluid system feeding one resource into another while allowing you to control how fast or slow you want to go it was miles better. to say it a bit better the current system not only didnt fix the problems they said they wanted to fix but it also added up the many more we had for the whole of 5.0.

the egis isnt the problem nor the demis is that the system they made isnt flexible or good enough to have both of them . not that they dont have both problems the maximum problem of complete opposite interests being devotion. i dont want the egis removed but i will agree their gameplay needs to be refined for some reason people ask to make them demis when they are supposed to be different. people also say that this isnt a smn comparing the job to other iterations of it when the main gimmick of the series is being different from one another being able to enjoy one game without needing to play another. many people will also critisize the lore badly as an arguement for a rework but if you ask them youll find out they dont know or care about it all. the mch rework reason as well is a bad excuse just cause that rework was a succes doesnt mean this one will be. Even if they rework the aspects of smn there will still be egi aetherflow trance demi and people will complain.the smn/acn job plays a big role in the world building of ff14 ascians amaurotine allagans every single primal .


From what ive read my opinion is this. the job needs attention from the devs it would be nice if they make the egis better gameplaywise but not a copy pasted demi . I will not advocate for a rework because the people are asking a rework for the completely wrong reasons and with completely shitty justifications about it
