A full rainbow of Carby colors... This is what I want. I'd also like to be able to fully glamour over ALL versions of the egis into the carbuncles. Yes including the max-level 100 versions into the carbuncles too.


The one thing that's really frustrating to me about carbuncle coloration is that if you look at the elemental crystal colors we have, the current "emerald carbuncle" we got as original default carbuncle really is closer to the light blue that the ice aether crystal is and should be for ice... and wind aether crystals should be a true green shade that we just don't have for carbuncles yet. I'd love to get that green as an option, and we could call it another gemstone like idk, jade, peridot, malachite. The advent of the new base "carbuncle" in Endwalker that's a deeper blue helps out, but that needs to be the water-aether colored one?


Represent levin with a purple carbuncle, call it Amethyst or Iolite (we have gemstone jewelry called that in-game). There's a diamond carbuncle model in-game already and Shiva uses diamond dust as an attack, give us that for ice. Use the new deeper blue base carbuncle as the water one, call it sapphire or lapis.


And then just to make sure we have all kinds of colors, I'd like to have an orange, a pink, and maybe we can borrow Alphinaud's obsidian and moonstone? Maybe he gave those two's summoning focus stones to us (y'know, like the crystals we used as ACN for our original carbies) to us when he went SGE?


Also Perrrrrrsonally I think Solar Bahamut is ugly as heck and it was uninspired to have another Bahamut. So hear me out, I would LOVE to be able to glamour the Bahamut / Phoenix / Solar B. to be ... well, carbuncles! Or other summon types as well. I want to replace Solar B. with Proto-Carbuncle.
