Regarding summons in FFxiv

[wertykelpie]

...what?

What are you suggesting anyways? Either something as vague as "make it better" or just to copy/paste from ffxi as far as I can tell. All I know is what you don't want, which is current egis and the glamour system. So the only things off the table are what's been offered to you.

i didnt ask for a copy paste from ffxi i just used to show that summoner and summons on ffxi are handled better and worked better and if they made it i dindt see a reason not to work on this one, i just ask for the devs review the job and summons and try do better since it lefts alot to be desirable right now

So the entirety of your suggestion is just that they "do better?"

That's not a suggestion, that's just whining.

The reason is lore. Check the lore.

i already check it, and its a great excuse to do a lazy work, it can be the same lesser summons but with the looks of the big ones like i said above

People have been asking this since launch...and still they do nothing. Pretty lame.

This disappointed me too, but I can see it. If you've ever played ffxi you know how much of the screen the Summons took up. Now imagine syrcus tower and the trash floors. Can't see shit as a melee right? Now add 5 or 6 ffxi ifrits and garudas lol now think about Amon with all the melee and 5 or 6 ffxi ifrits/garudas.

It's already hard enough to see whats going on with just character sprites. Big summons would just clutter the floor and make things like AoE's hard to see. They made them small for the sake of visibility in a game that requires movement and dodging.

I don't think they need to be bigger per say. Most summoner I've heard talking about this would be satisfied if they just had more options than the original three and having started leveling one I'm inclined to agree. The video the OP put up is neat to me not because they are huge but because they are diverse. Glamouring the Egi seems...odd considering that unless they give us new models to pick from, this doesn't address any of the things people were asking for. Not new skills with egi's or new looks.

So this isnt about the looks of the summon, people still want a rework of summons in general?

That seems.... like it's asking alot. Additionally, there would be a ton of balance to take into account with new summons unless they were just reskins of the current ones.

If we are just talking visuals then if Egi's were to remain the same size, then you wouldnt get much more than a minion on the level of graphical quality and detail. There's alot to consider here.
