Archanists want an image of primals...not Digimons

[faris]

1: digimon are awesome, don't even.
2: it's the design team's choice. Some artist has done that and saying "this is trash" at their work is wtf rude. It's not to your personal preference. It doesn't mean it's trash.
3: Did you read the summoner storyline? Your main point is that egis break immersion, when they're actually explained. They can't be like FFXI's Avatars, because they are not FFXI's Avatars. An egi is corrupted aether, bound into egi form by you, in a practise used originally by the ancient Allagan. It's really not that difficult to understand. If anything FFXI's Avatars break immersion, since there's no justification or reason for them to even exist on Eorzea. No Protocrystals, no nothing.

Disclaimer: I personally do not like the look of egis myself. But! I think there's a very broad line between feedback about the quality of the game / broken code / broken mechanics and stuff that just doesn't work and ragging on someone's creative licence in pet appearance. Diss the functionality of pets all you like, they're extremely broken and apparently will be addressed (yay!) - but outright saying someone's design is awful is really disrespectful to that concept artist.
