About the Carbuncles ...

[Bishop81]

I'll throw my voice in with the "Let us summon Carbuncle as SMN, please!"

There's really no reason to disallow it - if someone chooses the pet with 10 less potency because they think it looks cute and they aren't in the process of doing high end content, why not let them? Carbuncle is adorable and the Egis aren't nearly as popular it seems.

This.

That said, there is no reason for the Carbuncles to have 10 less potency. >.>

PS:

Not really sure why I'm even arguing with people about this. It has zero effect on gameplay. It's fairly easy to implemented. It doesn't affect them the slightest.

The only reason I can see why they should not be given to SMN is if SE has some other plans for them - once they are given to SMN they can't just take it back.

You have access to the assets and code of the game? Really?

Simple logic really.

What kind of an idiot of a programmer would write the engine such that it's hard to change/add/remove spell abilities?

You ever written a program in a modern language before?

Have you ever worked on any software project before?
Just because something seems easy, doesn't mean it is, nor does it mean the developers should spend the time on it. Ever heard the term scope creep? You yourself said this will have no impact on gameplay. Why should they do it? Because a few forums posts?

I'm asking them to add a spell, that like changing a value in a DB, not re-architecture part of the game's code base.

Feature creep? Changing few configuration parameters is "feature creep"? Are you kidding me? Wait, don't answer that. Clearly you aren't. You know exactly what you are doing in this thread and I think I about had enough of you "regulars".
