Can we get an option to adjust the size/opacity of Summoners' Bahamut-egi?

As the title says. Bahamut looks pretty cool, but I got a party with multiple Summoners on Susano-o EX through Duty Finder and when they all summoned Bahamut at the same time it became really difficult to see anything. To make matters worse, a lot of the mechanics in that fight depend on markers over heads and stacking and Bahamut sits right at head level so you just saw a mass of egi if this happened at the wrong time. I believe we had 3 SMN, so just imagine 3 of these out while you're trying to look for a purple marker.

It's just a QoL thing, but I think it would actually be widely appreciated.

Yes, can we please adjust the size of Bahamut?

I am in a party and everytime I summon it somebody said "OMG Yume, your bahamut is in my face again"

Also - whenever bahamut is summoned, I can't see the boss or aoe. He can't be move somewhere.

Another time I was running and I look back it gave me a heart attack cause I thought the boss was chasing me. I was just bahamut. Can we please adjust his size to be smaller cause I can't see. I still love him every much.

Or maybe even make Bahamut invisible if others' battle effects are off. It can be an annoyance in dungeons and fights like Lakshmi X. In fights like Susano X where you need to watch out for ground effects and markers over your head, he's a straight up hindrance. Seeing Bahamut on the battlefield is amazing at first but the novelty quickly wears off when you have a big dragon butt in the way of all your mechanics.

In this way, the SMN can place D-B to the side so everyone can see the mechanics yet still be able to see all the special effects.

Yes, the ability to place Bahamut would be helpful as well. Just something so he's not sitting on everybody's shoulders like some horrible primordial bird waiting to wipe your party. (He's awesome, just...big boned)

I personally think Bahamut is fine size wise, I can manage to see everything and havent had issues with parties on my side either.
Perhaps its more the placement of camera angle or the smn stacking to close to you guys.

I separate myself from the party in Susano Ex for example on the other side from them, close enough to attack and be healed aoe wise, and far enough apart to work with the mechanics and also avoid puddle overlaps/ Bahamut being in the way.

People complain about small weak looking summons and now that we have an actual summon that fits the lore of the class better, we want something else. Honestly...

This is exactly the reason why people didn't want large summons.

Now imagine how bad it will be during SB's first 24 man raid.

This is exactly where I sit too, it's also rediculous to imagine this is even being discussed considering it just takes a camera angle change and move the smn to think ahead and maybe move away from party members if they REALLY need it. even if stacking one on the other, you can adapt and manage.

That's fine and all but what about the mechanics when you have to stack up. Everyone else can continue to burn down the boss but as a SMN you have a moment of pause.. "Should I or shouldn't I cast my big DPS while I'm stacked here?"

I do like epic looking summons but they need to fix the pet mechanics to make them work first.
