Better pet models!

Wow these pets are depressing! Ifrit is a pokeman, Titan is a tinny floating rock clump ect..... We need better then these models. 11's were amazing and these are poop.

I'm sure this has been beaten into the ground, but you do realize that if you could summon the actual Primals that they would mind control everyone and wreak havoc, right? The Primals can't be commanded. The pet models are fine for the purposes of the story, and since this is a story driven MMO, it is totally fine and they will most likely not change a single thing.

With due respect, I'd get used to it. =\

I just want them to scale them up to be a little bigger. Otherwise they're fine imo.

I really wish they would change the summons, or add some really nice looking ones. Just because the story conflicts with summoning the actual primals doesn't mean that the dev team couldn't be more creative that having titan be a floating lump of random rock. They could have made some really cool looking imitations of the primals, or really cool elemental representations of the primals. Or, hell, made something completely different and fun!

Honestly, the only reason I was going to try Summoner was because I wanted to see what the dev team did with the summons, but now that I've seen them all.. there's no point anymore for me at least.

Yeah can we get garuda to look like garuda more and not a pterodactyl..

I have to agree here the only egi I don't like the look of is garuda when I first saw her the first thing that popped into my head was that it looks nothing like her.

I think it would have been great to see some better models, and I'm not too sure why they all have to float/fly... Titan is of the earth so it would make sense for him to walk/run like carbuncle no? I understand it plays with the story but they still could be a lot better. Hopefully if they don't change them now, they will look to the future ones and give a little more :p

Must say, sadly, I don't like them neither. They seem just little pokemons. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I never seena golden carbuncle before in any FF (offline), it's just... ugly ;; it really doesn't make me want exp that new jobs, even if in FFXI I was playing summoner as well. I'm not asking to be resize them as the original, but think they should be resized a little more big.

I wasn't even going to level summoner, I did in XI just to 20 so I could get the summons, but the models they've implemented are so depressing, I don't even want to play anymore. I mean, I'll keep playing, but it's just really dissapointing.

I understand they want to copy aspects from WoW (aka generic mainsteam) but to the point of nerfing the pet's size? I used to love fighting beside those giant summons... Now they're just some annoyance in my all tabbing.

I also get that they don't want to have the summoner's only role being commanding their pet and I don't mind that (though I still think that was a cool concept, but much too innovative for an MMO nowadays). I don't see why that involved changing the design and size of the pet models. SE MAKES the lore, why can't they just call the large primals that are summoned weaker, controllable, copies of the original?

I WANNA FEEL SPECIAL WHEN A PET HEALS ME AND NOTICE WHEN IT'S CASTING.

:(

Oh, wait till you notice how little damage you do compared to other classes. Its a shame we got jipped so hard.

To be fair on both sides: The summons in ffxi were not the full version, but aspects of the guardians, aeons, summons, gfs...w/e we call em. That hasn't changed. So I don't really know why they couldn't do like a wisp version or something a little more impressive. I get what they were trying to do..but god they're depressing to look at...and how freaking depressing was it to find out how weak the Ifrit egi is compared to Carbs?

I agree, the Skylanders rejects known as "egi" are indeed "Poop". Lore be damned, the pets should be impressive. These looks like toys from a Happy Meal. They look like someone stuck Red, Green, and Yellow LEDs inside of a transparent action figure.

I personally would enjoy seeing the proper models for the Primals being used, or at least a weakened version. And i don't mean the gigantic forms just a more player appropriate size or similar appearance form wise. Would be funny to have it make fun of you, mock you, complain about being stuck with you, or just overall voice your eventually destruction. "I will be free of these chains eventually, and you will suffer dearly mortal."
