I kinda wonder what is going to happen, because they appear to still be a separate entity from the SMN. But what we saw was the SMN himself actually doing an Ifrit-esque charge towards the boss.

It's really puzzling. Are they getting a melee phase? That's the only thing that could justify it. I wonder if Egi Assaults are gone and the caster gets abilities that changes according to the summoned Egi. Moving the cast from the pet itself to the summoner would be the only way I see that they could go forward with it still being separate. (Unless they did some overhaul in the battle code, and is more responsive?)
