No, they didn't.
  • AST still relies on cards as its main mechanic.
  • SCH still relies on faeries as its main mechanic.
  • BRD still relies on songs as its main mechanic.
And speaking of BRD, and while it did receive a major rework back in 4.0, it still focuses on its songs (even if they work differently).
Hell, it even kept the same songs it originally had (minus Foe's Requiem), so its identity is very much intact.

Subjective.
Also, FF11 didn't have "big" summons either (although they did look better than Egis).

If that's the case, then you certainly didn't mention it throughout your original post.

While that's true, MrHappy's recent (e-mail) interview suggested that Egi glamours would still be a thing, rather than being outright scrapped.
So yes, I definitely am holding my breath on that one until they state otherwise.

THANK YOU.
That's the one thing I missed on my original post: throwing class/job balance right out of the window.
Maybe it would've worked if SMN was a "Limited" job instead, but since it's a regular one...yeah, no.
