    For SE is more important that egis and minions load before monsters.

    The priority seems to go summons > random people > party members > random mobs around > the S rank you want to attack, but oh look, it disappeared again to load one new egi that just got summoned.

    Part of it is their grid layout, they have said in the past that it loads by grids, so even if a party member is 10 feet away, if they crossed an invisible grid line, it will load everything in the grid you are in before it will start to load another.

    For Odin and Behemoth they made changes so that they could be displayed despite the grid limitations.
    For S-rank they only changed display priority.
    Getting the same grid changes for S-rank probably requires more work than to simply change the priority value.

    It's poor implementation, they should have gotten it right the first time. Does no one remember 2.1 and how it was delayed a few weeks, Yoshi's response was that he didn't want to put anything out half done, if it wasn't ready on the day of release, then they would push it back, maybe they should go back to that, because it is extremely frustrating getting broken content, then wait as they scramble with halfassed hot fixes over the next month.
