    Then let's re-summon Bahamut and get him to burn the world again and re-write the lore! :P

    Remember when we saw Egis' of Leviathan and Ramuh? Where are they? This was first shown when we were capped at level 50, we are now 70. It's clear to me that something has gotten scrapped or Summoner is getting a serious reworking. That's me being hopeful though.

    Summoner has never been interesting to me because of those Egi's. To me, they don't feel like Summons just "pets" and sure Summoner is a pet job, but you know they just look pathetic. Exactly what Ghastly has said though, Summoner needs more "Summons" like Bahamut. I'm actually surprised they got Bahamut before any of the others though.

    The problem with having larger summons like Bahamut would just be what many have already said, they have the potential to get in the way and actually block your vision. I'm not fully caught up with the changes to summoner, but I think you can now change the size of them or make them more transparent? These seems like "ok" solutions we'll see. I want this to work, Summoner is such an iconic Final Fantasy class/job it doesn't deserve to be the mess it's been made of in XIV.

    I suspect that they are currently planning to add the ability to "glamour" Demi-Bahamut when they actually start rolling out the Primal-Egi glamours. That and possibly a Demi-summon glamour roulette should give you what you want.

    The abilities Summon IV (Leviathan) and Summon V (Ramuh) were scrapped because they could not figure out a way to have 5 Egi's be each independently useful (they were having trouble making 3 independently useful) without turning Summoner into a master of all trades. They instead opted to create an Egi Glamour system (which they added in 3.X with the first wave being the Topaz, Emerald and Ruby Carbuncles).

    Bahamut was likely done first as it is the traditional "ultimate" summon.

    They added the ability to resize how big the Demi-bahamuts are rendered client side.

    Well Ramuh's Egi is in The Striking Tree. I have no idea where you saw Leviathan's Egi, though.
