I posted on the other RIP Summoner thread that I was upset about not having new egi's, but now that this new approach of Ahk Morn with Bahamut Trance and what other's have said, I'm starting to see the other perspective in a better light. Who knows, the Bahamut Trance may evolve from Ahk Morn to Megaflare as we get stronger. This could give leeway in the future for other trances/signature moves of summons, with Shiva's Diamond Dust, Levi's Tsunami, etc. without being restricted to melee, ranged, and tank roles for egi's.

And it also holds true to the summoner role, as how summons were carried out in the classic FF series, where they do one strong signature attack, and that's it. Egi skins would be okay too, just to keep the FFXIV summoner utility, but this new direction can open good opportunities as well.
