Pokemon in FF

[Bishop81]

The pet glamour system is not as simple an implementation as you seem to think. They need to design three new egi for SMNs with new animations for each skill (Yoshi has specifically stated this is why it's taking so long). They also need to build a special UI for managing the glamours and the mechanics for switching them. There will also inevitably be a quest to unlock the feature and likely a new SMN job quest to unlock the egi themselves. Even if they threw us a bone with some placeholder skills that do the same thing as existing pets (which they won't, it's a waste of resources) they would still need to make the new egi and create all their animations and sound effects. That is far from "a minute or two" of work.

Fine. Take your time on the pet glamour system.

Just add 2 spells for SMN to summon Carbuncles with the same capabilities as the Egis as a stopgap measure. This isn't rocket surgery.

I am somewhat terrified what will happen once we get our glamours. I suspect Bishop will explode with pure jubilation and take us all with him...

On topic. I Find this adorable, Hilarious, and somewhat cool.

You have to forgive me for being a tad bit pissed off.

I (and many others) have been asking for this since ARR. The forums told us to STFU and wait for next expansion. Here we are "next expansion" ... not even a timeline.
