    My Concerns/Ideas for the Pet Glamour System

    With the pet glamour system, I am most interested in seeing/using the Leviathan-egi. Leviathan has always been my favorite summon. My concern is that Ramuh, leviathan and Shiva will each be reskins for SPECIFIC current egis, rather than being able to be used over ANY existing Egi.
    I'm afraid that Leviathan-Egi will be strictly a reskin for Titan-egi and not usable to reskin Garuda or Ifrit (Who I think will be reskinned by Ramuh and Shiva respectively).

    I have reached the character limit. Posting my ideas for the pet glamour system in the first comment.

    If the egis can be used over ANY existing egi, it would cause a lot of confusion for other players in the SMN's party who may think "wait, what egi is our SMN actually using?" in larger content.
    My hope is that they'll revamp the egi system and make it so you can reskin any egi over any other egi. With this in place, they could/would have to rename the egis as well. So for example, if you summon a Leviathan-egi reskinned over Garuda, it could be called "Leviathan-Caster-Egi" or "Leviathan-Caster". A Shiva reskinned over Titan-egi could be "Shiva-Tank-Egi" or just "Siva-Tank".
    Or they could even create a symbol for each type of egi, and put that symbol before after the name "Leviathan-Egi" to indicate which egi it's glamoured over.
    OR they could create a new suffix entirely. "Egi" could now just mean "caster pet", "Ogi" (just a random example) could mean "Tank Pet" and "Agi" could mean "Melee Pet".

    There are several ways they could implement it, I just really hope they don't cheese out and make it strictly: Shiva is a glamour for Ifrit-egi. Leviathan is a glamour for Titan-egi. Ramuh is a glamour for Garuda-egi.

    What are your thoughts?

    @OP you can bypass the pointless character limit by editing your post.

    Don't know about free form glamoring of the Egis. It will likely cause confusion over what type of Egi is out.

    We can't glamour gear we can't wear either.

    The most likely thing that will happen is that there will be a strict set of skins you can use on the egis.

    Reason being animations and effects.

    Lot less time spent making 4 unique effects for attacks than to make 12 (give or take as melee tank and melee dps auto-attacks could be the same animation, for example).

    I think a simple symbol next to the name of the egi on your party list could easily fix that though. (A sword for melee pets, a staff for caster pets and a shield for tank pets). And really, in non-raid content the only one who REALLY needs to know what pet they're using is the SMN itself, and when it comes to raid content voice communication could easily alleviate some confusion. I just don't want to see Leviathan relegated to a useless tank pet just because neither Shiva or Ramuh fit the role. If ANY primal is forced into the tank-egi role I'd hope it'd be Bismarck.

    Maybe there is a setting I don't use, but unless it is my own Egi, it doesn't show up on the party list. Changing the name won't help. Currently, I see a Yellow summon, I think Tank, I see Green, I think Magic, I see Red, I think Melee. Personally, I use the colours to refer to them, rather than names. I'll have to change my lexicon once the Glamours arrive.

    Well there is almost never any need to know what summon someone is using so that isn't a very good argument

    I can understand your concerns and I think it is quite likely that the glamours will be limited to specific Egi types. After all there are a lot of potential Egi glamours for SMN to unlock (Levi, Ramuh, Shiva, Ravana, Bismarck, Alexander, Phoenix, Belias, KOTR, Bahamut, Odin, Carbuncles) So each type will have a good amount of glamour options for it. That being said I personally see Leviathan as a melee type Egi, but we will have to wait and see until more info on the glamour system is released.

    Personally I won't be sticking with just three glamours. I am looking forward to switching up my glamours on a regular basis and making full use of all the new Egi.
