So be forever stuck with egis because people want to RP is what you are telling me?

Also, I'm not sure what core we are supposedly removing here? What's the difference between having an egi or a demi by your side other than the latter not looking like an absolute joke? Demis attack whenever you attack and whatever you attack at the same time, have you ever seen Ifrit-Egi in the add phase of Lakshmi EX? Now that's some level of utter garbage right there. Pray so that they don't release similar stuff to that.
Not only Demis feel a lot better gameplay wise, they are cooler design wise, so yeah, if this class is ultimately dragged by the "but I want to have a cute adorable egi at my side" bunch of people, then all I can say it's going to be a real shame. But hey, whatever, at the end of the day, if that's what people really want, so be it, majority decides.
