Customary "When are summoners getting new summons" thread

[SigmaOZ]

I wish by Egi glamours SE means summons like the ones seen in Final Fantasy X!...

Can you imagine how cool would it be to have a smaller, human sized version of the real Garuda, Ifrit and Titan!?...

That way we could use them just like Yuna does in FFX, just watch a video of her using Shiva and you'll see how cool they look!...

They would look fantastic but then SE might come up with the memory limitations excuse since they would be basically another full character on screen and not just a pet with a few polygons!...

Final Fantasy XI would like to say hello.

All I want is to replace Garuda with wind up Succubus, SE.

Might be a bit off topic but i would like new egis. I think is time to add some on like Shiva ramuh etc

Veering off the road, by a considerable margin

I'd love a pet that wasn't a pet - but a companion. Maybe an aether duplicate of an npc from the msq that you summoned to aid you. They could have the same abilities as the current pets, so really just a shift in looks - but I think it would be great fighting along side some of the past/current characters.

I would prefer new summons over new skills.

Everyone asking for more summons rather than more skills

Perhaps this is what they had in mind? The devs may have realised that they can't add pets at the rate that new primals come out (resources, balance etc.), so what they decided instead was add one new pet every now and again (4.0), from there the egi glamour system allows them to add the new skins for the primals that people want to see. The result being that we get more pets, and get the egis we want to see in the fastest possible way.

Can SCH have Carby's too?

Can SCH have Carby's too?

I hope not. Arcanist loses carbuncle and gains Eos/Selene immediately upon equipping the SCH soul crystal. When Arcanist becomes a SMN, the SMN gains Ifrit-egi with Summon III. Summon I and Summon II at this point still are Carbuncles, and remain so until they get Titan-Egi at 35 to replace Topaz Carbuncle, then Garuda-Egi at 45 to replace Emerald Carbuncle, through their job quests.

I recognize that the shared class for SMN/SCH has caused a lot of trouble, balance-wise as well as lore-wise. But I think Carbuncle should be reserved for SMN, who's job it is to literally summon things to fight for them. The fact that Scholar got pets in this game is an anomaly in regards to the entire FF franchise, I hope they keep it limited to fairies (who are literally the same entity, as opposed to separate, summoned creatures that SMN is known for).

Oooh, Ametrine Carbuncle to cover Selene (purple/yellow colors) and Tourmaline Carbuncle to cover Eos. (yellow/green colors).

Still identifiable by role, still cute carbuncles!
