    Demi-Ozma mount's graphic was changed. Please change it back.

    I just found out that the Demi-Ozma mount was changed, and I don't like it. It does not fit the concept of the mount at all, and I'm not even sure why Squeenix felt like it needed to be changed. Before DT, Ozma would display an image of the Baldesian Arsenal, both when first summoned into it's orb mode, and when it's in its special shapes. Now it shows a Mhach image, more akin to the Ozma from Weeping City.

    This makes absolutely no sense in the context of the mount. You fight Ozma in BA, and you obtain the mount from the achievement for killing that version of Ozma. It should reflect an image of the Arsenal, not Mhach. What's worse is now part of the imagery shows just a plain, empty boss platform (It appears to be Ozmashade's platform from Weeping City, without the shade.) Imo it's just an eyesore.

    I got my Demi-Ozma the first week it was available. I spent countless hours working on both getting the mount and afterwards going through BA. Demi-Ozma was not just a clear reminder of the time I spent getting it and the achievement of doing so, but it's also a representation of my favorite FF (9). I'm admittedly quite salty it was changed, because it sorta dampens the representation it had.

    For a before and after, here's the original post on reddit that alerted me to the change, credit to that OP:

    And here's my own image to show just how much the empty platform now takes up in the new version of the imagery:
