The problem with Summoners

[Sequora]

This is from a post from October of 2013. "We discussed your feedback about the design of the egi with the development team. As was mentioned previously during the Beta test, the design planner reiterated that egi were designed to be a manifestation of a percentage of power taken from the primals and are intentionally designed to appear differently from the primal. As such, we aren't planning on changing the look of egi at higher levels.

We will however continue to take in your feedback when creating new egi that will be added in the future."

Now that being said. I suppose it's possible that they could have changed their minds. This was a few months after release.

Honestly I don't mind the Egi look on Ifrit, Titan, or even Ramuh but Garuda does need work. Old wind elemental looked better.

That's sad the wind element looks closer to Garuda then the actual egi. Another problem with the Egi's is that it gets harder to see them when the camera is backed out all the way. Plus am I the only one that wants a egi that actually walks like the Carbuncle?

Meh, I'm a lalafel so I'm the same size as Egis. Also don't mind the floating.

Me neither, but some diversity would be nice.

Well i'm sure the first design step was to just shrink the primal model down to Hyur size and try that. Some where they didn't like it for some reason, either hard to see AoE or just didn't want true primal in players command. Artistically it's melding the primal appearance into the elemental spirit. Not saying this is right or wrong, just the design choice. People are upset though but rather this translates to better appearance of new Egis remains to be seen.

I'm kinda happy they're not changing. Each to their own I guess.

I care more about the functionality of the pets, as opposed to the form.

Unfortunately they fall short in both.
