We are over a year out from the time Yoshi said we would get new egis (Tokyo FATE 2014). I really don't see how this could possibly be us being greedy and demanding we get our things first. We've been last on the list for more than a year and we finally got tired of being stomped on, but heaven forbid after a year we ask where our promised fixes are.
Oh don't get me wrong I get why there's disappointment because acquiring new Egi was going to be my top priority in HW and will continue to be a priority for me when new Egi are finally released. I do love my Egi and was disappointed when the release of new Egi was pushed back further. However there's a difference from people being disappointed (like you and I) and people who are irrationally bashing SMN's new abilities as if it's in some way breaking or ruining the job. When in actual fact these new abilities are perfectly fine, not only do they fix SMN's burst DPS issues, but they also stay true to the lore.

Yes perhaps the new ability could have been triggered from an Egi, though technically that Bahamut head is a temporary Egi so it all depends how you choose to look at it. I personally choose to see it as an Elder Primal summoning, with the regular Primals coming as Egi. So ultimately we are getting both, so wheres the issue? Surely as long as we get new Egi (which we will) then that's all that matters, just need to be patient and trust SE.
