By pity Square Enix, redesign Garuda-Egi

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Forget redesigning Garuda. Just allow me to glamour Carbuncle onto all them. ;-;

[Erudito]

I would personally like to see the egis become more detailed. I don't mind them being small and whatnot, but would it be too much to ask for something more similar to the original? Just a little bit?

Like maybe give ifrit-egi scales and a mouth?
Make titan-egi look more solid and darker? It honestly does not look very sturdy :P
Maybe change garuda-egis pose and add feathers instead of wind effect?

I don't know, just... something to give them more "oomph"?

[Ashkendor]

What if they cut the body in two, just like the actual Ifrit and Garuda egis, but with better model ? Would it be too complex again ?

You have to take into account the plethora of people that play this game on low end PC's and PS3's.

Yeah I don't know why they are glowing (and flying ? Flying Titan = oxymoron)
They told us "you will get new egis" -> nothing
They told us "you will get egi glamour" -> nothing

Do they just hate the summoner's egis or what

No, they just have no new information so they say nothing about it. Do they really have to baby us by updating us every single patch saying "We're still working on X" for people to believe they're actually still working on it? Man, people are paranoid around here.

Making egis more detailed is just asking for older systems to crap themselves trying to render 30 SMN's in town.

This, too.

Can't tell you how sad I was when I did the first SMN quest that you get an Egi from, seeing that Carbuncle be replaced by them things is more upsetting to me than any "sad" moment in the story. It was truly the greatest loss the WoL has felt so far.

Having a different texture is such a small change, if the game can handle minion's running around then that'll be no different.

Here, I'll paint it for you:

Ifrit can have the same texture as the Ifrit minion.

Titan can share the texture of the Gravel Golem minion, recolored.

Garuda can use recolored textures from the Griffin or a mixture of different cloudkin minions and some scaled minion.

So we can get absolutly magnificent armors, weapons, mounts et cetera BUT forget about egis, the ps3 can't make them better !
Just lol, what an excuse !
What's next ? No other playable race because ps3 limitation ?

[YakushiHinata]

My guess... PS3/4 resource limitations..

But I still hope for more detailed Egi looks, even lore wise it would make more sense as the summoner grow and becomes more potent with aether manipulation they would be able to draw forth a more "complete" essence of the primal, Koji Fox, I am looking at you!

As for Egi glamour... "Please look forward to it, hai!"

[Kupocoubo]

For people who summon the lore argument : isn't it contradictory that we can summon Ifrit, Garuda and Titan egis but we can't summon Ramuh, Shiva, Leviathan etc event though we have already defeated them ? How is that plausible, lore-wise ? So we can only summon three egis but not the others ? What is the logic behind that ?

Lore wise, and if I remember what Y'mitra said correctly, a summoner can only be attuned with 3 primal/egis at a time. This, however, leave a little loophole that will be used for the future egi glamours. It says only 3 at a time, but that means that, as long as we don't try to attune with a 4th, we can switch with any 3 primal/egis we have defeated before.

At least, that is what makes the most sense lore wise with regards to the egi glamours that are coming eventually.

If you have to ask, why only 3, its because more would cause lots of shenanigans to the summoners health and aether levels and whatnot.

On a side note: Warring Triad egis for 4.0 please!

I would happily abandon Ifrit, Garud and Titan egis for Bahamut, Shiva and Leviathan


"On a side note: Warring Triad egis for 4.0 please! "

OMGG this !!

Leave it to me to forget parts of the Summoner class quests...usually I'm pretty good about remembering that stuff, but the limitation in the lore completely escaped my memory.

And yeah, Egi based on the Warring Triad would be awesome.
