This is what I got from FFXIV ARR.

It's the honest truth that the SMN needs a work over.

The thing is, with this game's style, making it mostly pet wouldn't be beneficial to the flow this game has going for it. Plus giving it DoTs was a fun thing to add. If it was regular magic then SMN would be a BLM with pets

I know someone will hate me for saying this, but at least in that second video, the Warlock's summon is the same size as the player... *sigh*

Ya its true that having a full size pet doesn't bug anyone except those that don't zoom out like I do so to me pet size doesn't really matter because I'm not viewing from a close distance most of the time I'm viewing from far away with the camera so that I can see everything that is going on around me when I'm in battle.

It's rude to make assumptions about who does and doesn't find them aesthetically pleasing. I keep my camera zoomed out at all times to be aware of my surroundings, and despite that, I still find them aesthetically displeasing for a number of reasons.

Then again, since I have to set Garuda (since the other two are useless 80% of the time) in awkward positions, usually out of view, so it can't take damage, maybe we should just remove them completely and make them into wind, fire, and earth DoT attacks. Since, you know, how they look doesn't matter.
