By pity Square Enix, redesign Garuda-Egi

I personally like the argument that it would go against the lore....

Um SE actually writes and creates the lore of the game so technically they could just write something else to explain the changes in the design. When it comes to lore there are literally no limits to what a company can do. They can write things however they want and explain them away in the silliest or cheapest of ways. How often to we get the old "a wizard did it" cliché already. Come on, lore is a silly argument against changes.

What I dislike is that SE solution is an Egi glamour system. Like there isn't enough glamour in this game already. I would rather them take the time to create new egi or a new system of utilizing egi than just glamours. It's lazy work imo

But glamour is the true endgame.

And I want my egi to enjoy endgame.

Technically, there are no limits to what a company can do, but if they just decide to change things up in random ways just because they want to do it a different way or for the "rule of cool" approach then you end up with lore that is in tatters, much like what has happened to Blizzard's Warcraft universe.

Lore is only a silly argument against changes if the company isn't taking the lore seriously.

That being said, this is almost certainly a case of lore being created as a reason for a game play decision - they decided the Summoner should have three egi summons, and created the lore to match that, so it's not really a case of the lore limiting anything.

I would like it more of a priority if we made egis mechanically more important. Right now they're just some extra DoT that you will occasionally use a skill on. They don't feel integral to the class at all. Dreadwyrm Trance finally makes your abilities summoner based, but the egis are just kinda there.

Garuda is a bird woman. I can guarantee you the most important aspect to her as far as the Ixal are concerned is the bird aspect. Regardless of you controlling that small fraction of her aether, she's formed by the Ixali's ideal.

I can't quite understand how a bird like Egi with human proportions-ish is so surprising to anyone.

Please read any of the threads about the complaints with the Egi, you will soon realize it isn't about it being a bird... it's about it being a completely terrible looking bird that was made via a developer spitting his half eaten gummy bear sweet on to the table.

You are too kind, to me it looks like flying alien puke.

To be fair, it looks more like a drake or pteradon than it does a bird.

Eh, so do the Ixal though.
