Adding fuel to the fire, Summoner's future

I will give you the graphics if you concede on the size. The screen blocking behemoths of the past have no place in a 'dodgeball' mechanic game, regardless if you put them in a corner or not.

I have no issues with the graphics. No desire to have some huge egi near me, either. I've seen some people say they'd rather not have the DoTs and direct SMN attacks, but rather have the egi be the "real" character, with us just remote-controlling it, but I don't think that would be very fun.

All in all, I like my SMN just fine. As far as growth of the job, rather than having the egis gain more power, I'd actually like to see the summoner gain the power to call more egis at the same time (have both Titan and Garuda out simultaneously, for example).

It would be nice to have more egis out at once, although at the moment I'm hoping for more quality over quantity. Not trying to say make them remote control, it's still important you work together with your pet, I just meant maybe the egis could have some more value in combat keeping the overall dps as is, unless dps should be nerfed or buffed. Also I believe pet mechanics and diversity will become quite important when they add Leviathan, Shiva and Ramuh.

I remember a quest in Burning Crusade Wow, part of Ogre'la, where you possessed a demon to fight other demons and possess them until you could defeat the demon lord of the gate. It was a ton of fun and I'd totally play a class based like that. Even if was the Morpher from FFTA. For balance, the "summoned" form might not be easily healable to prevent it from tanking raid bosses since it'd deaths would just return you to normal, or expire after say 60 seconds and have a cooldown long enough that demanded you cycle through 2-3 Egis, the summoner would have to carefully manage

I dont even think the majority wants them in the original size.. they just want them to look identical and not some weird looking glowy silhouette
