Why do the Egis appearance look awful and unimpressive

[abesut]

Just wanting to pipe in and quietly mention lore isn't a good justification for anything... The lore in this game is a total mess with contradictions aplenty...

Just wanted to back you up on that;

Lore tells us;
Primals= Bad for Life and ppl in general. We kill Primals...cause ya know; BAD for Life and Everything. *here comes the /sigh lore twist*
FC Summoning= Good thing, is eco friendly, and doesnt kill the planet, even though that's the number 1 reason we as players kill Primals. And as a FC with only BAD reputation for the Primal, we get to summon and Control it, even though their original beast tribes can't.
So yeah, contradictions.
Gotta love dat lore. Makes sense >.<

wait how is the lore messed up by a thing that hasn't been added to the lore, or even the game, at all yet? It was only announced as a mechanic they want to add some time in the future, and to be fair, was announced before ARR's launch and never really mentioned since.

Say all you want. Primals will Always be selfish and bad, because that's their nature. No matter what they say to make it O.K to summon primals through FC, it would still go against lore, since Primals are BAD, in any way. We get through the whole current Storyline in which Primals are presented as selfish and merciless monsters with their own agenda, no matter how they put it in the future to make primal summoning O.K, it would still go against EVERYTHING we have been through in the storyline. It would be like saying Sin from FFX suddenly became good, cause ya know..I changed the lore that all of sudden. Wouldn't make sense.
But please, I would love to hear of a way to summon THE primal, and not have it go against all of current lore. And have it fit, so the FC; Yellowpink fluffy bunnies can summon them like some retainer when they feel like it.

cheers!

EDIT: the Point of my post is to Point out the contradictions in this game, and the fact that you can't use LORE as an argument for anything in this game, anymore. Cause SE will change it regardless of the lore, and that it why they CAN change whatever they feel like changing; like making egis more impressive.

well the problem is...your example is using Lore that doesn't exist. because like I said, they mentioned it before release and haven't mentioned it since then ( I think they're actually hoping will forget they said it)...so how about using a Lore Contradiction that actually exists in game
