Especially the Garuda-Egi, the more bird-like features kinda accentuate that it represents wind.. Beyond it's green colour which is the most obvious marker.

Originally I was really hoping they'd be more like the FFXI Summoner in that we got to summon smaller versions of the Primals, though I understand there are a lot of people who really didn't want that. After seeing what the Egis look like I'm actually not all that disappointed by them, though I have to admit it did take me a while to get used to the idea that this is going to be what Summoners use and not their more iconic use of actual Summons.

What I am disappointed by however is their size, and no I wasn't really wanting anything that was colossal, just something that was at least on par with my character height. A lot of people on the beta forums were saying any bigger and they'd be a nuisance, but I have to point out that the Chocobo Companion is about 1.5x the size of your character model, which can be quite large depending on your race (Elezen or Roegadyn for example), so we already have a pet/companion in game that is quite large. If they had made Egis the same height as your character model I think they would have been PERFECT.

The following two images are taken from some feedback created on the beta forums, and I honestly think they hit home with what would have made this class even better. Sadly the devs said nope.

Notice how big a difference this makes? The Egi looks far more fearsome and impressive while still not being so big that it would be a nuisance. That's just my opinion anyways, and in either case the Egis still look cool. Can't wait to see if we get a Ramuh, Shiva, or Leviathan Egi.
