Square, if the Egi's are going to stay, can you at least give them a model change?

They answered this over a year ago and said they aren't going to change the current Egi but going forward they'll look at try to please the community. Also yes, Egi design combines Primal with Element sprites.

Well i'm sure the first design step was to just shrink the primal model down to Hyur size and try that. Some where they didn't like it for some reason, either hard to see AoE or just didn't want true primal in players command. Artistically it's melding the primal appearance into the elemental spirit. Not saying this is right or wrong, just the design choice. People are upset though but rather this translates to better appearance of new Egis remains to be seen.

If enough people in the community want it changed, then they should change it.

Took some time but I dug this up for you.

We discussed your feedback about the design of the egi with the development team. As was mentioned previously during the Beta test, the design planner reiterated that egi were designed to be a manifestation of a percentage of power taken from the primals and are intentionally designed to appear differently from the primal. As such, we aren't planning on changing the look of egi at higher levels.

We will however continue to take in your feedback when creating new egi that will be added in the future.

The key issue with changing it now is people have grown accustom to their pets and changing mid way risks pissing people off. Yes their is a vocal presents on the forums about this issue but the forums don't represent an accurate picture. People normally head to the forums to make a complaint, not grant praise to the devs for their choices. Think about it, when you are satisfied with a store and they ask you to fill out a satisfaction survey do you fill it out or wad it up?

No just no the design of the Egis already piss people off so if SE did redesign the Summoner Egis people would happily welcome it.

Honestly, I'm fine with the size/graphics of pets. Too big/too many SCH/SMN and soon MCH? in the party will = lots of additional pets/things on the screen. We just don't need all that clutter. And you're summoning the 'essence' of the primal, not the actual primal so I'm fine with their looks as is.
