Splitting SMN in Two

[Flana]

But back to Dezz's point, if you replaced Garuda and Ifrit with say FFXI Avatars, most of the Egi complaints would die down.

I would infinitely rather have the current egis over the plastic action figures that just slide around. Not to mention just model swapping would do nothing for the major source of complaints, which is ability ghosting. If you want to solve that immediately, Demi pets have to go. Forced petswaps force in so much more jank than the egi's ever had before Stormblood. Not to mention this is a problem endemic to demis. If you deleted egis you would still have ghosting issues because the demi is a hard swap once the timer runs out.
