Why Not Remodel the Summons?

[Nalien]

If they were to change them I'd rather they just do to Garuda-Egi and Ifrit-Egi what they did to Titan-Egi in Titan EX. I've never particularly cared about the aesthetics of the Egi, I think they're fine as is, but even I'll admit Granite Gaolers look far better than Titan-Egi. Giving Summoner Egis that look like that would be fairly simple and look great.

If they were really to change anything about Summoner though, I'd rather it be to address the fact that the Job doesn't do a great deal of actual summoning, rather than complaining about the aesthetics of what it summons... If you want to summon a full sized Ifrit, complain about how Free Company Primal Summoning has routinely been something pushed they've back and seem to have no actual desire to implement. I'd rather my Summoner actually do some summoning more than once per instance (twice if I die, or the planets align and somehow my Egi does). If Machinist actually regularly switches up the pets it gets (we've seen at least two, right?) I'm going to flip out...

There's nothing high-res about the fairy texture if you look them up close; they just have this glow that hides it very well. I'm not sure if this game has any textures that go over 512x512.

Yeah well texture quality overall is just bad but as Dx11 changes show, we will have to learn to live with it.
Every time I log in to FFXIV after playing AA I get slapped immediately by the texture resolution.

No kidding, this game is almost unbearable to play. How can they call themselves professional with such shitty graphics. I think I'm just going to go back to WoW, I can't handle such lazy programming. C'mon SE, get it together. Your game could have been great but now its just murder on the eyes! O.M.G!

troll much?

[Valoiz]

Garuda en Titan are just REALLY ugly and poor desing, even the ilv95 primal weapons have better effects compare to this egis, they are unicolor and not texturize at all

Ifrit is Ok tho.

Yes, it is sarcasm. Born out of my frustration to the overreaction of the "terrible textures! OMGZ!!!!"

[Leigaon]

Really..? cause threads like that are riddled all over these forums lol.

Yup..really lol. There was one that was really good they sized things up and really went into such detail it blew my mind that either that person does that for a job or...doesn't have a job and a lot of time. Either way it was a while ago and they did amazing work. I sure hope S.E bookmarked that.

I kinda wonder what they plan to change about summoner in HW...

That's what I'm wondering how they'll add new pets but make them something that's useful. I guess we will see. There is a reworking going on so I guess we will have to see.

"Most Summoners" mostly want the actual kinks in the job worked out, yes alot of people want prettier summons but shouldn't function come before looks?

Exactly, don't get me wrong the suggestions to make the egi look better and be more visually appealing is something that is on the to-do list just..shouldn't be getting this much attention. Unless making Ifrit egi a massive evil looking pet will somehow increase his overall damage or get rid of this buff that gives him counter and puts on something more useful..reducing cooldown on my pets aerial blast.

So...Why do we get the poor design of Egi today if it can be easily represented with what everyone is asking?

That's the question, I'm surprised such poorly designed content exist in FFXIV lol
