    Summon size have you down? why not have it your way?

    Square-Enix has been very generous when providing it's FFXIV players with various options to optimize playing experience via customizable settings. With this in mind, I have a proposition with regards to the sizing of the summoner's Egi.

    If a player opens their Character settings and selects the Character settings tab, they will notice 3 sets of "Battle Effects Settings", each with 3 choices. The summons themselves are technically a perpetual, special effect. Thus, why not allow the player 2-3 choices for the sizing or even the mere presence of pets on screen.

    For example: Pet (Summon) size :: Full scale ( ) Compact ( ) Hidden ( )

    The full scale option would allow the player to view the summon as I believe the creators intended (as I possibly suspect from watching the summoner-specific quest lines)
    The Compact option would allow the player to view the summon as it is currently represented (for players who wish to see the summons but have trouble seeing over them)
    The Hidden option would completely hide the pets from the player's view or even make them transparent I sapose (for those players who aren't interested in seeing them at all)

    I'm not entirely sure why SE decided to utilize such a small size for the summons, but I believe this is an option that may satisfy many players with regards to sizing, giving players who like it as it is a choice to keep it that way, while satisfying those who wish the summons to appear more grand.

    If you believe this to be a perfect additional option to the game, be sure to click the Like button =). Thank you for taking the time to read my thread.
