It is time to get rid of them SE...

So be forever stuck with egis because people want to RP is what you are telling me?

Gotcha, so you pick one item off the list and suggest it's my whole argument.

Also, I'm not sure what core we are supposedly removing here? What's the difference between having an egi or a demi by your side other than the latter not looking like an absolute joke?

You seemingly skimmed over what I suggested as reasons why some people still like egis. Functionally egis and demis are different and I've already explained how. Well, they were more so before the ShB changes, less so now, but that would tie in with my initial comment about fixing them instead of deleting them.

Not only Demis feel a lot better gameplay wise, they are cooler design wise

I mean, such things are always a matter of opinion. So it's not so ludicrous that there are people who see it differently. Dismissing it as "well if that's what you want go play Pokemon" is just daft. Especially as you're saying this in favour of a blue Charizard and a Moltres. And also egis were here first, so the old "if you don't like it go somewhere else" mentality simply doesn't work.

But I am speaking as somebody who likes both.

But honestly, I think if it is just an aesthetics issue, then SE could resolve that through expanding the egi glamour system. Then everybody wins. They already solved the scaling issue of demis. They gave BRD a system for them to live out their job fantasy, it'd be no harm for them to do that to summoners too. The pay off could also be, you could have your Phoenix permanently out if you chose to and it does Ifrit moves. I didn't like the look of Garuda, but I like the look of Ifrit, my Garuda egi is a Carbuncle, but Ifrit isn't.
