Fix Sumnmoner

Your right the video looks like they reverted to the original 2.0 size they had planned to release them at:


Though videos can be deceiving, however they did say "big changes to summoners skills and how they play are coming."

Is it me or does Ifrit Egi look bigger in the new benchmark?

I feel they've always managed to find good angles to make summoners "look" impressive. Like here, for instance.

I'm sorry TripPsyc, but there was no "original 2.0 size." There was, however, a photoshopped image a user on the beta forums created to give the developers an idea of how big we wanted the Egi to be. But people still complained "No, we don't want giant Egis that blot out the sky."

Here's the real image and job reveal video for comparison.

A little more looking you are correct about the photo itself thank you.
However the devs did in fact say "Egis were originally larger but their size was later reduced."

While that is true, we will never know how much "larger" the other design was. Which I think is a pity.

I've watched the video over and over and it does look like it. The garuda earlier didn't see much bigger than normal, but in the fight at the end Ifrit looks quite large. Around 6:48 he looks to be almost as large as the female Roegadyn summoner, floating quite close to the ground no less. I've never been one for the larger egi side of the discussion, I was okay with it. But seeing it like this (even if it is odd angles that make it look larger) just sold me on wanting bigger ones.

Ultimately I want to see the bench mark myself and of course, we'll have to wait until 3.0 to really know for sure.

Well here is a HD video of the benchmark. He really does look as wide as the Roe WAR.

Ifrit does indeed look larger in this new benchmark. I guess one way to find out would be to download the benchmark, take a few screen grabs and then load up ARR and compare them to the current size of Ifrit.

You can tell he's larger simply by the fact that his spike/tail thing is practically dragging on the floor... it's usually well clear. I'm wondering if this is a general adjustment to their size or if a new 50+ trait in Heavensward might increase it.

Ifrit Egi looks like the size of a Female Roegaydn when he's floating on the grown. SE did say big changes are coming to Summoner. Existing jobs will get enough abilities to cause rotations and Summoner and Black Mage will see Big changes with their new actions.

Well according to translated Q&A from Nico Summoner has been heavily reworked for 3.0... something something Tri-Disaster. What that means? No idea lol.
