Why do the Egis appearance look awful and unimpressive

[Wildsprite]

Also, this is what I think most people would like to see

personally I think making the Egi's that big would be a mistake. however I would like them to have a more threatening feel to them like Levi does in that pic
maybe slightly bigger than the current Egi's but not much and most definitely a more threatening stature(I think this is the right word for it...lol)

my only gripe with the EGI's is really that they feel stiff and lifeless and barely look threatening at all.

I don't need them rescaled, I just need them looking better overall.

I know lore-wise they're supposed to be almost crystalline-like, Aether formed embodiments of their avatars... but geez are they ugly.

More details, most of all more fierce & intense looking.

Not some chicken & marshmallow man.

SE should just meet us half way. Summon minions. As long as I can have a good looking summon after me, it doesn't have to actually do any fighting. It is the art I like, and the game play does not matter.

And these should come from various Summoner side quests so nobody has to pay 25 million for a minion. (Because that is how popular good summon pets would be)

Not to mention that according to the current Lore there are no more Jobs in the world. But SE is of course going to make additions to the Lore, which will give us more Jobs.

Same with summons really. They just need to add "You can get a egi plus version because you are such a great player".

What's amazing is how easy all of this would be. All they need to do is shrink the primals to an acceptable size and add some extra glow. It's not like they would have to spend months upon months to redesign egis. Instead just shrink the primals and give the people who like egis the option to keep the egi look.

Make it a glamour thing if you don't want to mess with "lore"

[Malamasala]

Actually it is a cultural thing. You can't tell a Japanese person "You did wrong", because it is not polite and it is terribly shameful to be wrong.

Instead we need to convince them that we want options and alternatives. Pet glamour, Pet minions, Pet upgrade possibilities.

Chicken Nuggets.... that made me lol.

But seriously... FF is known for summons and graphics.... not sure why WoW summons look cooler than the "chicken nuggets" in this game.... the summons here look like the OLD EQ summons... BEFORE they updated their graphics.

Maybe they will change their looks in the future.

Like when you get higher ilevel and game progresses they upgrade them and give them new skins.

You never know.

Oh man look out now the forums will be filled with... "Avatar Fantasias or Riot" for the next 4 months.

I like how the Summons look. Spur should make them grow maybe 50% bigger for the duration, and the Summoner LB should involve your egi growing nearly full sized before doing some iconic looking copy of Meteor. Appearance wise that's about all they need.

There are some other tweaks that would be nice, but that's a different thread.
