I loved playing SMN due to its visuals in XI. Even though 99% Didn't want it in their PT(Pre AB-scrubs) And it was a rare sight to see someone with the class @ Lv 75(Just with BST)
Once i had my Early access i logged it, created a char -> Arcanist, i was ecstatic to be playing a SMN class again on Final Fantasy, How ever i soon realized after unlocking SMN how ugly the EGI's were. And beyond that how we turned into a dot class.
But lets not talk about that now, The fact that the EGIs in my opinion are now (Visualy) Just ugly as hell i mean, a floating body with a (Geni) like bottom?

One of the reasons why my SMN is 50 and i switched to other classes and never looked back.
