Maybe the egis are there jus to auto attack and maybe cast supporting abilities like Devotion?

I'm still puzzled on why the move showcased puts the SMN in melee range, though.
I’m guessing that it’s an Egi-related movement ability (or replacement/upgrade to Ifrit’s Egi Assault II), and Ifrit’s version happens to charge both you and Ifrit at your target. The real question is what it does on the other two. The obvious interpretation is it’s supposed to put Summoner at parity with Red Mage and Black Mage with their movement abilities, when Summoner already has excessive amounts of instant-cast GCDs.
