Do you know what an image means? You're grasping at lore to justify bad design. Lore which doesn't contradict the notion that they could summon an image of a primal which will automatically make it not like summoning the primal itself. In essence the same as an egi but instead of looking like balloon toys, they look similar to the primal in smaller scale.

FYI I delinquently read every piece of text in this game. I'm not new to FF. Now I ask you to respect and not assume. You don't me to start calling you fanboy or tool, do you?
