    No. To all of this. Just no.

    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?
