I like that idea, the problem is that they don't seem to care anymore about the egis, I don't understand why

You really don't want a brown Titan with the current design. It would look like, well, something that a sheep has left behind. XD

I think the core issue is that the egi models can't be much more detailed than a minion, which makes a true representation of Garuda (the version in the OP looks great!) technologically impossible. I personally don't dislike Garuda but I can see why people would. However, even when they add glamours one day, it's probably best not to expect too much from the complexity of the designs.

It already looks like a flying poop :)
You know, I am quite lenient with Titan egi's case, since its Primal looks totally hideous.

Why it would be impossible ? Just give it Garuda's head with a proper coloring, it will be waaaay better :D

Titan egi: flying cluster of corn pops
Garuda egi: flying radioactive booger
Ifrit egi: flying red jalapeño

Well, changing the colour wouldn't be impossible at all :) but the level of complexity in the full model would make my computer explode whenever a group of summoners walked by even before taking S-E's technical limitations into consideration (new PVP strategy?). A slightly more Garuda-like design would be great though and I'm sure it could be accomplished.

I've never had trouble associating Garuda Egi with her primal? I think it looks just fine the way it is, personally. I wouldn't want a change.

What if they cut the body in two, just like the actual Ifrit and Garuda egis, but with better model ? Would it be too complex again ?

Something like that :

The only elements that associate Garuda with her egi are :
-wings (note that the egi's wings are its arms, while Garuda has two pairs of wings lower on her body)
-wind circles
-boob (if I can call that pyramid a boob)

aaaand that's all
