Increase the size of the summers Egi's. (yes this again)

I get why they are partial monsters and i know they arent supposed to be huge, but man after watching the vid again, they are so puny its sad. Carby is perfect and sadly i think hes bigger than the rest (he has always been the little summon)

i dont want gigantic ones, just make them a decent size. My friend saw them and just laughed and said "hell carby looks more intimidating then them"

also give us a buffer summon/buff skills to each of them so they stand out a bit more (ifrit gives attack boost or fire added dmg/ titan ups DEF or can give group stoneskin/ garuda can give an eva boost/move speed/resistance boost)

No. To all of this. Just no.

EDIT DUE TO POST LIMIT

It mostly has to do with battle targeting It was hard enough wading through all the Carbys in some FATEs in P4. I can only imagine how hard it's going to be when there's a dozen or more larger Egis clogging up the screen.

Before P4 battles were already pretty flashy. Larger Egis would naturally mean larger battle effects. Larger battle effects multiplied by many players leads to more system strain. In case anyone missed it, the devs said the Egis were originally larger but their size was later reduced. This could have been done in an attempt to lower minimum system requirements. I'm pretty sure there's an option to turn off other player's battle effects. I shouldn't have to.

Lore-wise it also makes sense. Yes I know that historically FF summoners called great big powerful beasts. Bar X's unique system all the FF summons were also single attacks. This makes it much easier to make them larger and more fearsome. This matters a lot more in the games where a dedicated summoner is present (IV, IX, X). Dedicated summoners have a much larger impact on their respective worlds than summoners in any other FF. In an MMO since any character can be a summoner the class itself has the same influence on Eorzea as any other class. Giving them larger Egis by any amount would diminish this effect.

Also, who cares?

I don't know what's wrong with your screen but Carbuncle looks to be the smallest on mine..

i think they still need a lower body. and need to look less abstract

::SERIOUS QUESTION TO OP::

When you wrote this.. what did you expect to happen?

God no. If you were a TRUE SMN you would love the way the Egi's are already formed. Just leave it alone dude, no one seems to care but you lol.

I agree with OP; however I don't see square changing it now. It's too late and won't happen, sucks but it's true.

I don't really want to bump this thread but here goes.

Honestly, I get where you're coming from but it's all cosmetic and has nothing to do with functionality. Should it bother you that much?

If your friend laughs at them. Who cares? I don't because I enjoy the class mechanics and gameplay, so should you if that's what you seem to want to play.

On the pet buffing skills, I strongly disapprove because of what happened to summoner in FFXI, I'm not saying it'll happen here but in FFXI it basically turned them into a heal/buff class instead of a damage/support class. I'm not against SCH having such pets, however.

Smaller egis are a little more practical. People already complained about not being able to see the battle because of the animations but you really think those same people will appreciate a giant summon doing the same?

I don't care what you all say.

I want my Egi's to be MUCH bigger.

Deal with It.
