    Honestly I'm not a huge fan of the "image" of SMN and countless people I've talked to aren't fans either. They are however, fine with the playstyle. SCH I feel is fine when it comes to image, the fairies feel perfect in size and overall visuals. However, to people that may be drawn to the game from the title of "Final Fantasy" to play as SMN it can be jarring. I do have to say I have a few friends that wanted to play SMN but are completely put off by the Egis. I didnt mind it at first, but the more and more I played SMN the more I detested it mainly due to egis, to the point that I don't feel SMN is for me anymore. A game like Final Fantasy where SMN is synonymous with *Flash Boom Bang*, that combined with it being a pretty flashy mmoRPG, visuals and aesthetics matter quite a bit to a lot of people and many expect alot more in the *Flashy* department.

    Trust and believe when I say I completely understand the lore of FFXIV and blah blah blah, but it doesn't mean I or anyone else has to like it, nor does it always have to remain that way. Lore can evolve over time aka SMNs getting stronger, learning different methods of summoning, etc. Myself and most (sane) people that I've discussed this with would have no problem with a Miqote/Hyur sized avatar that looked at least close to the actual primal. Honestly I'd be happy with just regular elementals/sprites if I could instead of egis even if it was only cosmetic (hell give me back Carbuncle and I will forever shut up on this subject: dead serious). Not everyone offering feedback (or complaining) wants huge, oversized primals. No I won't quit the game over it and I might pick SMN back up every once in a while to solo something, but as a main I'm done with it. Gearing alt jobs, but not coming back to SMN main unless something changes.
