Carbuncle for Summoners!

[Totobi]

Can this be a thing? Please? They have identical skills to the egi's but look 100000x better! All they'd need is an enkindle ability. Choice is never a bad thing~ carbuncle deserves a little more love!

[Syrellaris]

Fully agree, would love tosymmon carbuncle again

You have my full support. I miss my little radioactive squirrel friend.

carby ftw

Maybe they could give us a cosmetic choice, like glamour for our summon pet and we can make it Carby by using an item or something. Heck even do this with Eos and Selene, turn them into Carby's.... Seriously Carby has been support in the past.

Though on another note. Egis/Pixies seem to always get hit by landslide and recover because they hover. How would Carby survive?

The problem is each uses the exact same ability regardless of the class/Job ('Summon'/'Summon II') - it's not like FFXI where each summon was it's own specific spell, hence SE would have to change it considerably and actually make each summon an individual spell rather than all using the same ability slot. Of course they might consider doing this when Ramuh, Leviathan and Shiva egis are added later on, but for the present time at least I don't see SE changing this.

A 'carbuncle' is a gemstone (specifically a ruby, hence the ruby on his forehead) - thus rock on rock isn't going to do much.

Well it was the same summon up until you added the soul gem to become smn/sch. If one wishes to use carby as smn it would be the same as it was prior to the soul stone being added. However, if one is sch using carby, the carby would get the healing fairy skills rather than the fighting ones.

Let's not forget that they're tons cuter, too.

A MMO i played a while back (Champions Online) gave you a dropdown box below a summon power which let you choose which visual appearance you wanted for your pet instead of it being tied to your powers rank like it had been for a while. A similar option here would be great
