Why are mounts so pretty and egi's so bad?

[DNO]

The griffin and dragon you get in heavensward look amazing. How can you spend time on the dozens of mounts added to the game yet leave the summoner job pets to look so bad?

[Averax]

I like them.

[Bigcat9715]

We're getting egi glamour, so that might change.

[Lewtskie]

Improvement in art is something to look forward to when a game progresses. And as it's in a new expansion altogether it's especially the case. But Egi glamours are coming so I think we can look forward to something interesting in the time to come.

[DNO]

I really don't think the glamour is going to be as good looking as the mounts we get but here's hoping!

Why is the sky blue, but tomatoes red?

[SovereignAegis]

I really hope egi glamors are great because at present they are hideous.

I'm wondering if they'll even give us new Egi skins, they might just give us Carbuncle skins and save the Egi's for the future should they decide to release any real new pets.

Admittedly at least carbuncles are cute, and actually look far better than the various colored nuggets we have at present.

Like the egi don't even look right or dignified at all. They look like yellow red or green nuggets of play dough. At least carbuncle was cute.

And we all know the development team makes beautiful amazing work... So why not the summons!??!?!! Summons are all to doe ith the main antagonist of the storyline.... And the primal... And I just wish they were more glorified looking.

Why is the sky blue, but tomatoes red?

Tomatoes turn red upon ripening, once the chlorophyll breaks down and lycopene becomes the dominant pigment. And the blue in the sky is a result of blue light being scattered more than other colors by the molecules in the air.

But what does this have to do with why the FFXIV designers have chosen to make one NPC model extremely detailed and another sub par?
