Which of the Final Fantasy games do you think had the best summons? For me I liked FFX the best because you could take control of your summon, and use it like a regular character.

And they look cooler than ever, esp. Shiva and Yojimbo. BUT one bad thing about FFX, not many summons as the previous FF's!

Yeah, it could have had more summons in it, But the ones that were in the game were realy cool.

that's a tough one, and to be honest I can't decide, I liked he summons from FF V, I loved them from FF VI, I think the best summons were from FF VIII and it was awesome that you control them in FF X

FFXI definetely. Man, the avatars are bloody awesome! (Even little Carbuncle looks good!) Garuda and Shiva are naturally attractive of course, but Ramuh absolutely steals the show (forget what Ramuh looked like in previous FF games - in FFXI he is downright evil looking!). Good stuff.

The Eidolons in FFIX are also very good, with Ark being my particular favourite - nothing like seeing an airship looming through space, then transforming into a giant mech whilst re-entering the planet's atmosphere, and then proceeding to obliterate the enemy with various lasers and energy beams!

I like the Final Fantasy IX Summons, the intro movies are great!

Final Fantasy 8's, becasue Cactuar.

Well,ffVIII gf boosting was nice,plus the gfs' are alot more than X...but xs' controls of aeons was better.

exactly !

FFX had the coolest looking ones.Havent seen XI yet but all in due time......

I'd have to agree with FFX. It definitely got me using them more and they were pretty cool. And, well, nobody else has said it, but FFVII's I liked well enough, found quite helpful and used quite a bit. The ones in the other games I really didn't use so much.

Knights of the Round from FF7. :D

True.Coolest summon ever. =)

My Fav has gotta be ff8 because of the whole junctioning systems and the fact you can boost up your gfs strength and let them learn new skills

It was good but I didnt use them much cause it brought down your rank.The junctioning system was O.K. but you couldnt really use your magic cause you stats would go down.

Uhh...no. Totally incorrect. They had no effect whatsoever on your rank as far as I could tell.

That's not a problem if you regard your junctions purely as a boost to your stats instead of a normal part of them. In that sense, it isn't so much that your stats are dropping, just not getting as much of a bonus.

I was sure it brought it down.Might be wrong cause its been a while since I played it.


I dont use magic anyway.I can get by without it and only really use the GFs if I have to.

Usage of FFVIII GFs bringing down your SeeD rank? Not that I know of. I'll check though --- I'm pretty sure there's a pretty detailed SeeD guide over at GameFAQs that discusses exactly what things affect your rank.

Okay, here we go:

"In short, you can raise your SeeD rank by taking tests or killing enemies. Enemies killed by GFs do not count towards your SeeD experience, but enemies killed by Odin, Gilgamesh, or Phoenix do."


So, in other words, using GFs to kill enemies isn't necessarily going to bring down your rank, but it isn't gonna do anything to boost your rank either. So if you only kill using GFs, your rank likely will down.

Well I knew I was some bit right.

I liked the GF's, Diablos, Doomtrain and Cerberus from FFVIII. It's a shame that Square didn't give Cerberus a more dangerous ability, still, it was worthwhile.

But I like the Summon monster system in FFVI better myself. You could only summon a Esper once per battle. In that way, you had to build your own characters up more and rely on their own abilities and such, instead of like in later FF's, you had the Summon monsters to fall back on and summon like there was no tomorrow to defeat your opponent.

Also, being able to learn spells from the Espers in FFVI, which remained with the character who learnt them, even after they've changed Espers was good as well.

FF8, 'cause the summons were powerhouses, and they powered up your guys so much.

my fav is ff8 because u can boost their attack and you can junction them to the chars and make them stronger

Yeah, as far as I know, the nly downside to killing usng GFs is the fact that you gain less EXP.

You guys use your girlfriends to kill people?

F10 is the best for summons i agree with u :angel:

You guys chop suey to kill? Aeons, that's some really nice toppings
