The community has already accepted it that's why the Summoner is facing extinction.

"Facing extinction"?
They already kind of fixed their biggest issue through a recent patch (MP management, by lowering the cost of Ruin/Ruin II).
Other than that, they KNOW they have other issues which they'll fix once the expansion rolls out.
So not even close; for the time being, they're viable as is.

I refuse to play a SMN only due to the EGIs.

After playing FFXI and seeing the true potential of SMN with their arrangement of actual SUMMONS, XIV's SMN is just very simply not enjoyable.

keep telling yourself that most people refused to play Summoner until SE overhauls them to be more like Rydia with elemental abilities.

I see less summoners then I used to see, but as a Summoner main(which I shelved for ninja now) they are a decent class, just visual wise.. horribly lacking.

Still no new update on this?

Reminds me of Thanatos from Chaos Legion.

Hmmm...

I hope the dev team is looking at this thread. THIS would make egi's a lot more tolerable if they actually looked like their primal counterparts instead of just a mass of color crudely shaped to look like something.

To OP, Moroh Khon

I'm in the process of having my character custom created as a 1/6 scale figure and I've been looking into how I may go about creating the Egi's to go along with it. I was wondering if there's any chance at all that you would be able to commission this Ifrit Egi status as a custom piece of art? Please let me know! Thank you!!

As good as that detailed model looks, the pets are designed with the same limitations that minions have.

You'll notice their detail is lacking, to help lower stress on the PS3 version of the game.

And so pets, like Egi's, are treated with low textures, and low poly counts.

Not an excuse. in fact there are minions with far more detail than summoner egi. Even scholar fairies are better designed and textured that summoner egis.

The 'low texture fbcuz system limitations' argument doesn't work because it doesnt hold up to closer scrutiny of all the other things that are better designed and detailed in comparison
