about egi's models

[winxbloom61]

Okay before i go into this let me make 3 things clear
1. im not against them being egis instend of primals
2. not asking for any skill change or power change
and 3: dont make me repeat myself
1st off summoners are suppose to have ifirt /titan and garuda at the moment however what do we truely have
1. a flying candle flame for ifirt
2. titan a flying rock
3. Garuda a flying booger

what needs to be done in my opinion
1. Ifirt take the primal and create a chibi ifirt that does not fly around
2. For titan do the exact same as ifirt just take the primal and shrink him done to about knee high
3. take the harpy girls and chibi them done for her. (she is the only current one that SHOULD BE FLYING.

what this will do it will make them small like they are just make them LOOK THE WAY THEY SHOULD as small forms

Would really like to see more power/primal (visual) in them, also being clear and not asking for full size primals. And to counter "bigger/better looking is impossible", just check out a plethora of other MMOs with pet classes including big name ones like WoW.

For this topic to be fair though it should be known Yoshida doesn't really want them to look too powerful as it might cheapen the primal, I agree to the extent that Summoners summoning full primal size would look and feel weird - otherwise I disagree and would like to peacefully rage against the machine.. lol. Also current Lore says you'd probably kill yourself and not be able to control the primal if you did summon the full deal - and it would cost a few million in crystals, so there is that (belief is normally used but there was a 1.0 line talking about solo summoning, and it came down to "terrible idea"). But that lore bit is about full primal, it was made clear already not talking about full primals - talking about Egi (Allagan for "Essence"), all good lore wise so long as it is in the Egi realm.

Also it would cost money to redesign an Egi, so I was personally hoping they just add an ability or new function in the expansion that gives reason to keep an original and new form.

this topic isnt about them being primal more like the look of them because right now the models for them or so retarded a grade schooler could have easily made them and programmed them

Sorry, but you can't really make a valid argument about "retarded grade schoolers" with that many spelling and grammatical errors, also that is pretty offensive to say in the first place.

You just contradicted yourself. "Not about primals" from "Let's make egis small version of primals."

Are you serious right now?

This topic has already been discussed to death in multiple threads on the dps (summoner) boards.

Yeah I got yah mate, it is about the visual aspect and it isnt about making it "exactly" primal just less vague and childish looking. Though that is kind of a mean comment >.>;

(I don't agree to all of the looks suggested lol, knee high titan.. Should be larger more like Voidwalker high..)

I got that he meant smaller not exactly the same versions, chibi usually has a bit of a change from the large form. Not sure now...

[HiawathaNimah]

they should be scaled down, player-sized version of the primals. The models should even be simplified to reflect the difference in power between the actual primal and the summoner's version, i.e smaller horns/less glow on ifrit, smaller wings/less feathers on garuda, and smaller titan. I like to imagine a more human aesthetic to the primals to maybe reflect the summoners presence in their existence (not for leviathan since it is not anthropomorphic at all). Another way i think about it is the egi's are like the primal's "baby-spirits", where i wish they would be more adolescent/young adult in size/aesthetic relative to their storyline counterparts.

Young Ramuh? YES PLS

Or we could just accept the egis as they are, instead of trying to make them into FFXI SMN.... just a thought....

Which is weird because they currently are chibi versions of primals. Well except Titan. He's a little too fat.
