Why Not Remodel the Summons?

[Higashikata]

I support this.

As a summoner main I'd love a full sized primal that deals full sized damage. Even better if they made the pet do all the damage, so I could keep my top DPS while doing absolutely nothing!

Don't see how anyone can defend the current look of the summons.

Lore.

They don't need to be a complete rip-off primals, but at the very least make them look decent.

An example of your interpretation of more decent looking models would be nice.

[Aryalandi]

How about making egi more like little aether versions of themselves? Make them shaped and detailed similar to the real primals but not entirely solid, and make them glow the color of the element they represent? It is sort of what they have now but more obviously primal based without being something that looks like it could potentially turn hostile.

About this solid at most, and primal shaped

Lets please stop using lore as a wall to hide behind every time when someone wants to improve something.

The summons don't have to be as big as our character or even bigger, texture and look improvement would do atleast for me. Lore doesn't forbid that, the problem is time of developers which is most probably going to be used on something that might bother bigger portion of community.

Then lets please stop using the "Change it cause I dont like how it looks" excuse when asking to change something that is fully functional.

It's dangerous to go alone, take this!



I feel as though the current summons are just placeholders. Some thought went into their design, but they're polarizing compared to every FF summon prior. Even summons that aren't out yet (FFXV) crush XIV's summons.



Replacing the current egi models with miniature/chibi Puff of Darkness/Succubus version primals would bridge the gap between old style impact summons and current



Using Ramuh's mini-me Arbiters as an example were he to get his own egi, a combination of Primal and element can look pretty good. I don't mean Eos/Selene sized, more the primals scaled to egi size and then altered to fit. The primals have very tangible personalities, that don't translate to their egis. Changing them like this would allow SE to give egis their original's personalities and make them a bit more interactive instead of just a third of my damage that I have to babysit

Well then I congratulate you, you are probably the first person I have met that likes the current summon looks.
The look can be more important for some people than functionality, it is just a matter of opinion.

I admit that I am dumb but I wouldnt be able to main a class that is followed by either big yellow potato or some mutated flying green stick. Selene and Eos are much smaller than Garuda and Titan Egi and they still managed to make them more detailed.. atleast they looked like that to me.

Know what looked great?

Carbuncles.

Something I never understood about the naysayers. Just because their are some who want full on primals ala ff11 doesn't mean everyone who despises egi's want's that.

I miiight be fine if they'd just made the egi's the same size as they are when you fight them in the job quests. I'd definitely be fine if they'd just improve their visual aesthetic as a whole.

They don't need to be mini me primals. Just make them more than a pet rock. Nothing that says the egi's couldn't at least resemble their aspect a little better or just have a general edgier look to them.

Hell, even gameplay wise they could just get rid of the pet idea all together and go for a Dissidia Yuna approach. Incorporating temporary manifestations of the primals power into your spell rotation.

Honestly, this is what I'm hoping for from the summoner changes their making in the xpac. But, I won't get my hopes up lol.... sigh ;-;
