Job Change Suggestions for SMN

Ah thats right performance is a thing, and ive seen some requests for a step dance for dancers as well. When you say rerun, do you mean from an much older LL? Have they added more egi glamours since the 3 carbuncles in HW? If he reconfirms its still on the table, thats great news. I am being realistic though, that is to say we havent seen anything more for 5-6 years. Thats a very very long time. This reminds me of the "Companion(s)" tab, in which supposedly the Chocobo wasnt going to be the only one we got, however....

During the 2 month gap due to Covid they reran a bunch of LLs from back in ARR with Yoshi-P in chat answering questions and commenting on things.
Apparently in the 2.2 one there was a discussion in Chat about Egi Glamours with Yoshida chiming in reaffirming that they are still happening.

- Egi related conversations were touched, but unfortunately YoshiP didn't comment any further. "That is still something to come in the future", "We can't talk about Egi yet" implying that yes, something related to Egi (glamour? new Egi?) will come in the future, just unspecified

Quote from the r/FFXIV discord.

Your timeline is off by quite a bit, Carbuncles were added in late HW, which was early 2017, so less then 4 years. Which is still quite a bit to be fair, but it's important to note that Egi Glams wouldn't be a high Priority item and according to what we know about the Dev process would be the a thing they only really have time to work on when everything else is done. Of course thats gonna take time, especially as they'd have to create models, Attack Animations and figure out ways to deploy the system in the first place (as the initial system is a simple model swap but they'd need one that'd allow them to swap out attack animations as well).
That said, between the Blue Magic Spellbook as a template and Egi Assaults they theoretically have everything they need to make it happen.
If anything it wouldn't surprise me if they introduced EA's partially for this purpose.

Companions are a somewhat different beast, they were last mentioned during ARR afaik and then fell under the radar until Yoshi-P confirmed the guy who was responsible for that system was moved to another team.
Egi glamours on the other hand have been mentioned during Interviews and such at least once a year since their initial release, and usually reaffirm they still want to do it, its just taking them a bit.

Considering been playing since ARR beta, i admit couldnt remember whether it was the end of ARR or sometime in HW. I agree then, that if that is what they are working on. I still feel like its been an extremely long time, and as you said they have systems now in place esp with BLU. Performance being a thing, as well as other things in motion, then it is definitely possible. I am uncertain of the current time frame, though, even if it isnt something they arent prioritizing. We get less dungeons per patch as well as numerous other things, that theyve decided to focus their resources and time on. I figured the egi glamours would have been something they could have done by now at least, but I suppose they are probably going to propose/reveal the system at the very least by 6.0. If you guys have to wait longer, I have no real answers for it. I also agree with the actions glamours that have been popping up every once in a while, as some of their culling/replacing of skills on certain jobs makes no sense to me at all.

I mean, they sure are taking a long time, but with how long it sometimes takes them to implement even basic QoL changes it just doesn't surprise me.
If its not out (or at least mentioned again) by 6.0 I'm going to be concerned as well, and not just for the prospect of Egi Glams but for the job as a whole.
But for now it seems they still want to do something with it, so we'll see.

Look how long it's taken us to get a new healer. I mean, the last time we got a new healer was ... about the same time we got egi glams, so I think it's still reasonable to expect they're still on the list somewhere.
