Why Not Remodel the Summons?

because yoshi p felt FF11 summons cheapened them because everyone had the summons as their true form.

...And their implementation of the Egis don't cheapen the look of Summoner as a whole?

People aren't asking for FFXI summons, they're asking for summons that actually look SOMEWHAT formidable, because they currently look laughable. The shear amount of threads since the launch of 2.0 on this exact same topic is testament to that fact.

That's a good idea! No one has ever mentioned this before.

Indeed. Also, egis look good. No one needs giant summons floating around everywhere, and also it would be pretty odd to have giant summons and have them be as weak as they are. But, I look forward to the resurgence of this incredibly original, fresh, thought-provoking, carefully considered thread every 1-3 days until the game shuts down.

I also look forward to the egis remaining exactly the same for the same duration.

Because they're lazy. Wouldn't be half-assed if they made something that wasn't half-assed.

Don't see how anyone can defend the current look of the summons. They don't need to be a complete rip-off primals, but at the very least make them look decent. I could draw the current ones in Photoshop in literally 5 minutes.

Lore.

An example of your interpretation of more decent looking models would be nice.

Lets please stop using lore as a wall to hide behind every time when someone wants to improve something.

The summons don't have to be as big as our character or even bigger, texture and look improvement would do atleast for me. Lore doesn't forbid that, the problem is time of developers which is most probably going to be used on something that might bother bigger portion of community.

Then lets please stop using the "Change it cause I dont like how it looks" excuse when asking to change something that is fully functional.

Well then I congratulate you, you are probably the first person I have met that likes the current summon looks.
The look can be more important for some people than functionality, it is just a matter of opinion.

I admit that I am dumb but I wouldnt be able to main a class that is followed by either big yellow potato or some mutated flying green stick. Selene and Eos are much smaller than Garuda and Titan Egi and they still managed to make them more detailed.. atleast they looked like that to me.

Something I never understood about the naysayers. Just because their are some who want full on primals ala ff11 doesn't mean everyone who despises egi's want's that.

I miiight be fine if they'd just made the egi's the same size as they are when you fight them in the job quests. I'd definitely be fine if they'd just improve their visual aesthetic as a whole.

They don't need to be mini me primals. Just make them more than a pet rock. Nothing that says the egi's couldn't at least resemble their aspect a little better or just have a general edgier look to them.

Hell, even gameplay wise they could just get rid of the pet idea all together and go for a Dissidia Yuna approach. Incorporating temporary manifestations of the primals power into your spell rotation.

Honestly, this is what I'm hoping for from the summoner changes their making in the xpac. But, I won't get my hopes up lol.... sigh ;-;
