Pilgrim's Traverse was the perfect opportunity to try a new reward space

[ForsakenRoe]

If SE were feeling experimental, this was a golden opportunity to try something a bit like this:

Upon clearing floor 100 for the first time (and completing the epilogue quest that unlocks Quantum), reward us with a new experimental reward space. Or, more accurately, an old reward space that has been so unused for so long, it'd feel new. That being, a new Egi-Glamour. Or Pet Glamour, or whatever they're called now. The ability to turn Seraph (as SCH) into Feo Ul via text command

There would be no need to be concerned with 'oh what if a new player sees it and gets spoiled that the character exists', because it's a level 80 action, and you meet Feo Ul at level 71. Plus, if it's really a massive deal, there could be some clientside flag that checks if you have reached the quest where Feo Ul is introduced, and if not, your client is forced to render Seraph as Seraph, regardless of the SCH player's chosen option. I don't think that knowing that Feo Ul is a character in the game at some point is a problem though, and clearly neither does SE, because we now have the Feo Ul minion in game, which we can show off in the starting cities and 'spoil' all the new players with

There's also plenty of lore reasons as to why it'd make sense to be able to summon the King. We have a pact with them. They can travel to and from the Source thanks to said bond. Statice, the gun-toting Faerie of AloAlo, is specifically stated to be a SCH Faerie, but looks like a Pixie of the First. The transformation traps in Pilgrim's Traverse turn you into a Pixie model, but the tooltip says that you're turned into a 'Faerie'. So, I assume that SE sees SCH Faeries and Pixies as being kinda sorta the same thing (or at least very closely related), enough to use the terms interchangeably

This would also have given SE the opportunity to test out 'ability reskins' as a reward space, potentially opening the doors for more such rewards in the future. For example, how about a WHM reward where you reject the Light, and use Elemental Magics, reskinning actions back to being Earth, Wind and Water themed? A NIN that pays homage to Rikku from FFX, using Mixes instead of Ninjutsu? Maybe even something as simple as a BLM that inverts the Elemental Wheel, using Astral Blizzard and Umbral Fire?

Missed opportunity IMO, but oh well

I did think about unlockable pet glamours not too long ago myself, carbuncle is useless now so imagine if we could get Shiva or Odin egis by doing quests, not like it matters what the guy looks like when standing around doing nothing and as you mentioned here a Feo Ul (who in travers already does use Eos/Selene's animations) for sch or maybe even an elemental? The options are endless if they just do it instead of acting like it's not possible.

I also have been wanting a ability reskin option for a long while now, at the very least letting me pick my favorite animation, like turning glare into stone again. This would be things I'd adore to see and really hope we will see someday.

lot of potential in skillskins / skillglams in this game.

Experimenting isn't something SE does.

Ever.

Historically ever.

Like literally, never.

If there would be a reward for clearing floor 100 it should be something where everyone benefits and not just for playing one class out of 21.

[Alicie]

The ability to turn Seraph (as SCH) into Feo Ul via text command

If this would be added into the game in any way, it'll be via cash shop. In-game reward will be some junk that nobody wants instead.

Hey, I see them experimenting a lot with cash shop. Experimenting how far they can pressure their players before they explode.

Class themed mounts! (No, not generic CNJ unicorn).

RPR: Avatar carries the player
PCT: Similar to Smudge but as a mount... you go smudging leaving a trail
BLM: An unique broom mount that is also offered as a staff glamour
MCH: Rides an auto-turret similar to the Nier pods
SCH: Eos carries the Scholar, similar to the Spectral Statice mount
VPR: A Tural Vidraal, maybe a "spwan of Valingarmanda"
AST: Levitates with star bodies around them, resembling the animation of Neutral Sect
MNK: Levitates in a serene, sitting meditation pose, with glowing chakras
WHM: Pops aetherial wings to fly, resembling Temperance's animation
SMN: Rides Emerald-Garuda's shoulder
DRK: Rides their feelings
RDM: An umbrella mount, but using their figmental Rainpier
NIN: Rides the Hellfrog Medium

... I ran out of ideas for the rest of the jobs.

Let MCH ride Queenie

I do love your idea for Eos carrying the Scholar, that sounds so cute
