Scholar Pet Glamours

Helios and Oberon, make it happen!

That's what I was thinking.

I want a healing carbuncle.

Considering SCH applies Shields and Carbuncles originated as a summon that applied Reflect, it wouldn't be too off flavor-wise.



I'll remain hopeful.

I had always hoped Carbuncle would return to SMN as a defensive (self-)buff pet, given his nature as a summon throughout FF history.

My hope for 4.0 is that SCH and SMN are split and reworked (not alone in this) to fix the balancing problem and make each thematically appropriate. This would mean that SCH would start with a fairy, and SMN would be the sole owner of Carbuncle. Scholar having a historically Summoner-only spell/pet would then be out of the question, and make more sense. At that point, SMN could have a buffing pet (if anything like FFXI, also mediocre healing pet) to round out the job.

They've clearly stated that ACN branching to SMN/SCH was a big mistake that lead to many balancing hurdles. I hope they get around to reworking them when they said they wanted to take jobs back to their roots.

(To any response saying SMN is fun and balanced and fine, I understand. But it's not SMN, and I understand FFXIV is it's own game, but it's not SMN. I understand FFXIV is an MMO, but this SMN is not SMN. If I made blm an elemental potion thrower, with aspected alchemical explosions, it wouldn't be very "black mage". Sure there would be elements of FF BLM, but it isn't gratifying to whip up a fire potion, toss it, and have it do a small flame. That's what Egis are to SMN right now. Deathflare is a step in the right direction, but there's a long way to go to making SMN gratifying, and poison/disease is not it.)

Snip

Okay, I don't want this to come accross as mean, but please no do not start this topic up again, it just finally died. SE made a mistake spliting Arcanist into Summoner and Scholar, they admit that, but the 2 jobs aren't being split, that would take too much time to rework. Also, there is no true Summoner in any FF game, end of story. Just because its not the Summoner you invisioned doesn't mean it isn't one. People are already bitching about how RDM isn't a true RDM and the job was just revealed. And Yoshi-P even stated,"RDM is different in every FF game" and this will be XIV's incarnation. Yes there were issues with Summoner in ARR, and yes HW fixed those issues a bit, but please stop the whole "its not a true summoner" grip because the series has never had one, every incarnation is different.

I want a healing Carbuncle, and Airy/Anne glamours where the fairies glow blue/purple respectively.

Pet Glamour and SCH (Live Letter)

I asked this before. :[ Devs are ignoring it.

More staying silent to protect themselves by not promising anything.

[JunseiKei]

I mean, recolors and stuff would be nice. Or glamouring to the fairy you get from the Angel Feather limit break.

(Sorry for the poor quality. Camera would not focus on the image.)

[GMERC]

Where's that Angel Feathers art from, out of curiosity? Is there any accompanying info you'd be willing to share?
