    Just from a visual standpoint carby is the only one that looks like a complete fully funtioning being while the rest are just rocks.
    I don't mind the size but I feel the other summons are not made with the same level of detail and animations as carbuncle is.

    Probably because it's a ported model from XI. Sure it's been touched up a bit.

    If they ported the other summons from XI, they would probably be too imposing for the small scale abilities they would have. So to fit the new summons with the scale of what SMN is in XIV as opposed to XI, they are rocks and fire/wind sprites.

    Pure speculation by the way.

    If they reconsidered that, then Summoner might have more of an upper hand to Scholar no? They'd have to allow Scholar to summon Carby...maybe the Emerald Carby for Summoner and Topaz Carby for Scholar?
