Why can't Summoner Egi's look like this?

[Wolf_Gang]

No thanks. I don't want egis to block my screen as it used to be in ffxi.

They don't have to be big. They can remain the exact same size as they're now only with the detail shown above.

I have to admit that the reason I wont be a summoner is due to how the egis look.

Surrounded by naked bird-woman and Taru onlookers. I'm not sure if I'm jealous or sympathetic of Odin..

As much as I dislike the Egis, personally I think teeny tiny versions of the actual primals would look ridiculous.

If I was in charge I would've just given Summoner some non-primals that are also FF nostalgia bait to summon since they had to go and make different models anyway. Like they could've had you summon Salamander instead of Ifrit-Egi. Then they can give you a couple big summons to serve as the SMN LB and satisfy pretty much everyone, but that would've taken a lot more effort.

I do agree with the OP on this one. I don't mind that the egi's look the way they are. However, it's the fact that in the Titan fight, the clone in Titan EX is Egi size AND looks like Titan...

I rather have the Titan that looks like Titan.

People who thought summons in XI blocked your screen are completely delusional. They were far less obtrusive than BLMs casting flare or WHMs casting holy or medica.

I'm sorry but when you are making iconic classes and then go and add in cheap summon models instead of the real thing, its just sad. At least match what you did in FFXI.

Some people are just droning sycophants who just blindly repeat "The status quo is perfect." like a mantra. The same people who say "Egis cant be bigger, they'd block the screen!" also claim there's nothing wrong with animation/flash spam in large scale events. If Yoshi-P in the next Live Letter said he changed his mind and was making Egis into scaled down version of the Primals, these same people would also change their mind on the issue.

Free Company Summoning system.... It's coming!

The Egis look pretty bad. Last time I said this, mod deleted my message. So I guess I'll just say it again: they're dumb. They're terrible. They're... amusing and cartoony.
