How Many?

How many GF’s does FF6? (GF’s or Summons, sorry in FF8 mood)

Eep, I can’t even think of it off the top of my head. I can think of a lot of them, but I’m sure if I tried to add it up in my head, I’d miss a few. I shall have to go and find the answer for you, and then come back and edit this post.

Cool! My friend said that there are about 70.

I don�t know the exact number either, but there were definitely not THAT much. It was a "normal" number.

Off the top of my head,about 40.

Ifrit
Shiva
Ramuh
Odin
Raiden
Maduin
Starlet
Kirin
Pheonix
Unicorn
Palidor
Sraphin
Bismark

Ragnarok
Terrato
Stray
Carbunkle
Fenrir
Phantom
Siren

Uhm… 27?
However, remember that the only way to obtain Raiden is turning Odin into Raiden, which basically means losing Odin. (so you better learn all his spells before doing so!) So you cannot have them all at once.

The only spell that Odin teaches is Meteor, and you can get that later on in the game from Crusader anyway, so it’s a moot point as to whether or not you want to spend time having everyone learn Meteor before you turn Odin into Raiden (who teaches the Quick spell by the way.).

Personally, I have one person learn Meteor from Odin, so I at least have the spell for a good portion of the game, and then I inspect the Queen’s statue in the Ancient Castle to change it to Raiden.

As an Esper, there is really not much difference between Odin and Raiden, as they both have the same kind of attack (instant kill or miss), although I seem to recall Raiden having a greater chance of causing instant death compared to Odin. So, I guess it’s really a personal choice.

cool I guest 30 but 27 not bad

@Enkidoh
Ah, true again. I don�t remember whether I changed Odin into Raiden or not. I guess not because the spell "Quick" belongs to the kind of spell I usually don�t use. And I am very fond of Odin for… sentimental reasons. *cough*

However I find it worth mentioning that you cannot obtain all espers at once. And that you are given to choose Ragnarok as a sword or as an esper. I think next time I will choose the weapon…

there are exacly 29, but if you choose the ragnarok esper over the sword, there is 30

*includes odin —> raiden
