By pity Square Enix, redesign Garuda-Egi

[Kupocoubo]

Your giving your reason for it and i'm just saying why i'm against it simple as. Welcome to the forum all about discussion.

Yes I understood that with your first message. But stop quoting each of my messages only to make me look like an idiot. You are doing that since the first message and I find it offensive.

Please Square, PLEASE, redesign Garuda Egi so it looks like Garuda !

Something like this



We don't care about the height, just make it looks like the real primals

Summoners, raise your voice !

i saw that pic and i really thought they redesigned the summon,i got happy for a bit
yes i totally approve and support, we summoners like the summon to look exact, its important for us
people say they don't like about how it looks, well -_- i picked smn class so i can summon all the iconic summon i used to have while playing old game

Might want to, you know, black out the names in the chat logs on your pics that aren't yours. SE doesn't like people posting other screen names like that. Just saying.

I, personally, never understood why people hated the egis so much. They look perfectly fine to me. Never really thought egi glamours were necessary either.

To each their own I guess, but I still find it a waste of time/resources to be making glamours for just one class/job.

Because people feel lied to that the previous FF summons are WAY COOLER AND BIGGER and the summons here aren't, those summons being the Egis. People are also ignoring the fact the Primals exist and they're the true form of the eidolons in the game.

I like the look of the current Egi's ..

Hopefully when/if Summoner Glamour comes out it will come with some redesigns of the original egi as well.

If you like egis so much, why are you on a topic about redesign them ? You are quoting EVERY messages of me and I find it really annoying.

People are going to quote you if they respond to you. It's just what people do on forums. I don't understand your hostility about this at all?

Also this is a forum. It's a place for discussion. You cannot expect to post something and have everyone agree with you automatically ( or to have people who disagree with you ignore it ).



Some Summoners, like myself, are going to come here and say they don't think they should be changed.. While others are going to say the opposite...

You post a thread about changing the Egi, of course people that don't want it changed are going to say something... just as much as the opposite is true... You don't get to ask people to leave or stop quoting you because you don't like what they have to say in response to you.

After thinking about this, I'm pretty sure the egi design is intentional. Primals are fully fleshed beings only when they have enough prayer and crystals, right? So one summoner can only do so much, and will only produce a fragment of what a full primal could be. Theoretically we could see an egi from a small beast tribe with few crystls, while we see Alexander is way bigger and more complex because of the amount of crystals used for him. (Or really, just raw energy from the land.) So I think the egi is partly a representation of the limits of a single summoner.

I say this because carbuncles and fairies are very detailed pets, and I am unsure of how carbuncles are brought into being, but fairies are already existing creatures that SCH bond with and summon to them from another area/realm, so they aren't an extension of the SCH's power, unlike egis. Carbuncles and fairies though, on a design level, all have "flat" coloring with glow/sparkles added whereas the egis all look like they are made of crystal and have the elements orbiting them, so maybe that texture has something to do with it.

Tl;dr: it seems like egis were intentionally designed to be unimposing, and if they were, I doubt the dev team will compromise what they want for the game, especially aesthetically.

words

In before someone says "I AM THE WARRIOR OF LIGHT! I HAVE 6 CRYSTALS OF LIGHT AND I AM POWERFUL ENOUGH TO MAKE MY EGI AS BIG AND FEROCIOUS AS THE PRIMALS!"
Anyway, I completely agree with you.

With the case of carbuncles:

"Adepts of the art of arcanum derive their might from symbols of power born of geometric techniques hailing from across the southern seas. Held within occult grimoires, these symbols lend shape to the arcanist's aether, thereby allowing him to produce myriad powerful spells.

Using the selfsame symbols to unlock the latent power contained within gemstones, arcanists are also able to summon forth the familiar known as Carbuncle to carry out their bidding."

They pretty much use arcanum and a magical gemstone to summon them.

EDIT: Summoners do the same thing, but since we only borrowed lost Summoner art and in reality we are still Arcanists, so we still do use arcane arts but with a Primal's essence instead of a gemstone to form them.
Also, the summons borrow half of your aether I think (?) so maybe that factors why they're small. That's also the reason why we can't summon two at once (and that it's unfair or OP in a gameplay standpoint).
