    I mean, Carbuncle makes sense in reverse because every (player) Scholar is/was an Arcanist so it stands to reason they’d remember how to summon it, especially since it doesn’t require a soul crystal. Hence why they can turn Eos into Carbuncle, but not into any of the three Egi.

    Frankly I have no idea what the lore says about ‘multi-jobs’. My assumption was that lore-wise it’s ’one (main) soul crystal job per person’ but that probably only applies to NPCs anyway. I’m honestly not sure how they treat the fact we throw soul crystals around like candy lol.

    I’m not sure what ‘machine gun eos’ means but somehow I don’t think that’s what the Nymians had in mind when they ‘pulled her out their hats’ lol

    And that’s not to say like ‘they should never do this cuz my interpretation of lore and subsequent immersion’ lol just I’d kinda prefer if they didn’t in this case personally. But then, as I mentioned they don’t really care much about ‘lore matching gameplay’ anyway, so it’s not like there’s much actually stopping them from doing it if it’s what people want.
    Carbuncle only does Radiant Aegis anyway so they could port over the Embrace animation for it
