Archanists want an image of primals...not Digimons

[Prototype909]

"It's ok that summoner looks and serves as the utter anti-thesis of everything Summoner harkens back to in Final Fantasy games because of some half assed lore excuse, never-mind the fact that the pets are an afterthought in terms of the way the class itself plays."

It's a bait and switch. Advertised as a pet class but all you do is run around with Egis (Oh excuse me, Egi singular, because Garuda is the only one that's relevant) that looked like they were shaped with play-dough and throw diseases at people. Some "summoner" this class turned out to be.

Recycle the "Oh but the lore says "X" excuse all you want, the lore says why we can't have the full scale manifestation of the avatars themselves. It doesn't say why the existing ones have to look so unsatisfying.

As for immersion, please. We have 1000s of players running around on Behemoths, 1000s of players running around as White Mages and Dragoons who are supposed to be the last or or elite few of their kind, players running around garbed as Odin himself. No excuse.
