I might be wrong though, as I am no computer genius. Good for us if they can do it and still have the avatars look epic and not like little pets. Maybe you think that people would not mind that if their avatars are the size of a Huyr, but I am sure many people would not like that even though you are trying to call me down and say that I am the only one having an issue with that.

Yes FFXI did it good so maybe they can make it happen but like I said, they have really poor optimization in this game and this might end up being harder to implement than you think.

Edit: plus you don't have to try and bring my arguments down, like I said I may be wrong about the points that I am trying to bring and like I said, I would like to have summons out all the time if I could, I'm just trying to be realistic.
They have said they wont be any pet jobs to the battle system,Core system and everything is fix so we wont see them for a long time. By then the game would be good enough and server lag and computer lag would be better. They don't have to re-size them that small. In ffxi there was not that smaller then the version we fight to get them. So i don't see any issue with this.

The problem is what the point of a Pet class if you only use them for 1sec? It's the same thing as me doing a awesome WS or a mage casting a awesome spell it just be a spell not a real pet. So the smart idea to do is to re-size them make them look awesome which be no issue for FFXIV later on.

Not trying to put your argument down if SMN avatars are a 1time use only that is not a pet job that just a awesome looking spell you just cast that how i see it even if you let them have small pets what the point if the bad-ass avatars our 1time use only.

I think 1 time use should be for very awesome Avatars like how they did in FFXI with 2 type of avatars only can be used 1 time every time you use 2 hour.
