This mod provides summon replacements themed around Shinryu. There is a lot of animation editing that went into this to scale and shift creatures around for better placement. For that reason, I suggest turning off pet names, since those were not able to be shifted, and can cover up your summons.
All the Egis have been replaced by Ginryu. Hakkinryu replaces Ruby Ifrit, Emerald Garuda, Topaz Titan, and Demi-Phoenix. And the big guy himself, Shinryu, replaces Demi-Bahamut. All creatures have had their animations edited for positioning purposes, and Shinryu has been scaled down to be less obstructive in both PvE and PvP. They also have randomized VFX and SFX for their ultimate attacks, with Shinryu and Hakkinryu (Phoenix) having 6 elemental Ultimates and the rest having 2 elemental ultimates or AOE attacks.
To accompany the summons, the Summoner's Rites, Catastrophes, Astral Impulse, Astral Flare, Fountain of Fire, Brand of Purgatory, Deathflare, and Rekindle have also received edits. The Rites, Catastrophes, Impulse, Flare, Fountain of Fire, and Brand of Purgatory also received animation changes as well as randomized VFX and SFX.
And the cherry on top is Protostar, Shinryu's Ultimate, as an edit to Summoner's Teraflare. The VFX, SFX, and animations have been edited.
