Still, they can revisit the system for Beastmaster, but improved. Come on now, do you think I would like them to give Beastmaster the text command egi-glamour equivalent and call it quits there? That is shallow.
Even though it's not tied to the combat, the one you glossed over which is Bard Perform is something they improve and update constantly. They're totally capable of giving the same effort to the beasts of Beastmaster.

I won't play armchair dev, but it's obvious that Beastmaster being a limited job is a really bad idea. People should just accept that FFXIV is a different game, and Beastmaster (if non-limited) will be different. Accept change instead of alienating players more with a failed concept.
That could be a possible explanation, or they don't really care about egi glamour. The simplest explanation often makes the most sense. Anyway, I'm saying don't expect much in the area of pet customization if it's just a tacked on feature of little importance. Unless they actually really focus on it, like they would if it's a limited job instead. Perform is different because it's not a purely cosmetic feature, it's interactive and encourages people to use it in a group setting. Egi glamour doesn't and companion glamour wouldn't either. It's just there for the player to have an illusion of choice of pets. Nothing more or less.

Alienating players? I mean no one is forcing anyone to play these content. Possible BST mains? A lot of these mains for non-existing jobs seem to just conveniently show up when talking about these jobs. It's sad for them, but honestly, it wasn't like they had much hope to begin with here.
