I completely agree with the feedback, sad about the response. It would have been a good place to meet in the middle.Â

I like the appearance, I was worried about it at first, but I think they're well designed, whilst I personally would have preferred it to work like it did in FFXI (and it didn't create any problems), I am not disappointed, I just think they could be a wee bit bigger.Â

I'm not exactly sure why SE won't make them bigger, but as much as I would like them to be bigger, I don't think it'll spoil my enjoyment, but then I'm gonna be a Scholar, not a summoner. The funny thing is in FFXI I was harping on about how Scholar should get a pet, at least after seeing Schultz using the Crimson Grimoire as a pet, it could have been a reward for doing Survival of the Wisest. Ah well, a faery will suffice.

The response Hvinire gave didn't really explain much, just that at one point the Egis were actually a little larger than they are now but the design team decided to make them smaller. On the plus side of things, changing the size of the Egis doesn't really require a lot of work, so I'm holding out hope that maybe they'll reconsider it post launch.

As far as appearance goes, and the lore behind what they are, I think the Summons are pretty awesome. They look close enough to the original Primals they are based on while maintaining their own unique appearance, so I'm happy with things on that end. My biggest issue and the one thing I'll have a very hard time learning to live with is just that the most well known, iconic class in Final Fantasy (and I say this because EVERY game has Summons in it, and thus to some degree Summoners) uses Summons that are no bigger than the vanity pets we have.

I still plan to main Arcanist/Summoner, so if they don't change it I'll learn to live with it eventually... I just don't have to like it!
