Thank you ! I hate the "lore" excuses so much !
The lore isn't to be blamed for the egi's design, just the lazyness of the devs on that particular point.

Other MMOs have cool summons while we get this radioactive chicken, unfair.

I wouldn't mind a Mogstore Garuda alternative that looks a bit more alike to the primal (4 wings, more white and black, more general image complexity, not a "flying poop"), but honestly, if it actually looks like a mini-Garuda, I wouldn't take it even if it was free. They're just elemental aetherial manifestations, without any associated beliefs and only vague iconistry. That, and I just don't want a harpy pet. I'd rather take my green, horned, large-knee'ed pterodactobird than a very particular miniaturized birdwoman.

My photoshop looks like a mini Garuda because I hadn't really the choice, but the general idea is to make Garuda egi looks more like Garuda, not exactly like Garuda

Exactly, lore isn't a good enough reason to have to tolerate and be stuck with the abysmal Egi's design. They could have made a semi decent model at the very least before releasing the game, instead of settling on the terrible current Egi things...

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't glow so bright, having a terrible design is one thing... making them glow immensely is another, it makes it worse and draws attention to just how garbage they are.

I'm hoping they have at least some replacement for them lined up, before they go fully to having Egi glamours. I'd be more than happy with just a different Garuda/Titan/Ifrit to begin with.

[Kupocoubo]

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

The lore in this game contradicts itself sometimes...so that excuse needs to go lol.

It is high time they gave us some real pets, I support the redesigns ^^

[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.

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.
