Favorite Summon?

[Raziel]

What's your favorite summon monster, and which version of that summon is your favorite? My favorite has got to be Odin from FF9. Odin has always seemed like the most intimidating summon to me after I played FF4 for the first time, and his summon cinematic is just badass is FF9.

[mightychicken]

FF7, Knights of the Round. 2nd would be Ark in FF9

[HLomegasin]

Anima in FFX, he...man, he is wicked!!!

[I)ark_Phoenix]

PHEONIX IN FF7,8 AND 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh and Eden, Bahamut, Doomtrain, Magus Sisters, Jumbo Cactaur, Anima, Tonberry King, and thats all i could think of right now.

[The FINKTER]

im sorry but im just a ff7 freak i would have to say knights of the round these kguys guys kick ass how could you not like it.it does over 20,000 damage and you just cant get better with the cinamatics.its the top of the line man

[I)ark_Phoenix]

well, in FF8, Eden does(in my game) over 45,000dmg... not to mention the cool movie scene... not saying Eden is better... just saying he is pretty cool also.

[mightychicken]

after playing for a while now with the magus sisters, its pretty clear that they're the most powerful summon in any FF. The only thing in the game that can be more powerful than them is yojimbo's ultimate attack, and that costs millions of gil. They fight separately, heal eachother, know pretty much every spell in the game, and can stay out there practically forever.

[I)ark_Phoenix]

yes... thats true...

[ZeroX]

I like Eden from FF8
Knights of the Round in FF7
Ark in FF9
Odin in FF7
Well, them are my favoites!

[I)ark_Phoenix]

I didnt really like eden in looks but his power and his movie scene rocked! Takes abit(the movie scene) but WOO HOO u can boost him up FULL and attack enemies at their FULLEST!

[ZeroX]

Talk abotu Boost goes UP

[I)ark_Phoenix]

If you like all summons... u would really love the FF10 summons since u can actually control them instead of them just using their attack and leave...

[ZeroX]

I aint got a PS2

[I)ark_Phoenix]

really? u are a guy? lol jk bro. And u should get PS2 ASAP

[ZeroX]

Im saving up...it's so hard just mowing lawns for 5$ >.< It's the best I can find

[I)ark_Phoenix]

are u serious? Ok, ok, wait a min... u live in the states right? Cuz i live in canada, and im only gr7 and can get 20$ per few hours of working in like a convenience store...
or even get them for doin chores(really worth it cuz i dont have much to do) and i get 10 per week but still, u do practically no work to get em.

well, now that you mention it,

some people, myself included, think that putting in a summon that can take hp damage (as in FF8 and 10) makes it less important to have strong characters and takes away a bit from the necessity to have a party in which all your characters are strong (come on, how many of you people actually use khimari :p ). It's debatable, but personally, id like to see summons attack once if there are any.

[I)ark_Phoenix]

well, wut u have just said is true... but in FF8 and 10, their summons always die in one shot when fighting like bosses, so i dont think its that bad.

[Sum Yung Guy]

Ark in FF9 was tooo damn long. I personally like Yojimbo heheh short and sweet.

[Raziel]

I didn't like Ark because he transforms into this badass robot...and then just kinda stands there. His limbs don't move at all, he just stays in that neutral upright position.

[I)ark_Phoenix]

yea... and the dmg suck against like bosses such as Trance Kuja and Necron... Ark only does about 6k dmg to them. After all that long movie scene but 6k dmg... i personally dont think its worth it but thats the best u could do with edilons against those bosses so i dont totally blame Ark.

[Sum Yung Guy]

with magus sisters or anima you do mucho damage, and with yojimbo you can 1 hit kill some bosses, as long as you got the cash heheh

[I)ark_Phoenix]

Magus Sisters themselves can kill a boss too... but usually aeons get killed in one shot from a boss like Seymour so i guess if u pay him enough cash he would be better to use...

[FuRy]

My favorite summon is........ Chocobo/Mog from FF7!!

[I)ark_Phoenix]

you can summon chocobos in FF7?! I didnt know that... hmmm interesting.

[FuRy]

Yea. I got the materia from the Chocobo Ranch I think...It does about 300 dmg to all enemies its starting level...

[I)ark_Phoenix]

is that good or bad? It looks bad to me... 300 dmg for a summon? thats really bad.

[Raziel]

Yeah, but you get Chocomog after about two hours of gameplay. 300 damage at that point in the game is pretty fucking sweet, if you ask me.

[Sum Yung Guy]

atleast the magus sisters can resurrect each other... and damn Tri Attack does damn damn damn damage

[I)ark_Phoenix]

actually their overdrive really disappointed me..... their NORMAL ATTACKS can do better cuz their attack does like 50 000 and over per sister, but the overdrive all together in one does like 99 999 dmg or something i forget but the overdrive should do TRIPLE more dmg than their normal attacks... the best overdrive in the game is Anima's Oblivion(period).

[I)ark_Phoenix]

well, i'll see, i'll see... i just got the game from HLomegasin so im gonna start it today... and i cant wait till i get that CHOCOMOG guy... cuz ive never summoned a chocobo before in an FF game... well at least not PROPERLY cuz i summoned one in FF8 but thats only when u have a gyshal greens and they dont really attack but they dig treasures so... yea.

[Raziel]

How far have you gotten, Phoenix? Are you still in Midgar? By the way, I like the avatar!

[I)ark_Phoenix]

thnx, and no im outta midgar now :) i didnt play for abit now. Im at after the Cloud on motorbike part and im in the world map right now, heading to a city or something.

[Raziel]

Okay, you're heading to Kalm. Chocomog ahoy!

[I)ark_Phoenix]

man, that motorbike mini game was the best~ i wanna play that again

[Sum Yung Guy]

ok anima does more damage, but the magus sisters well its THREE summons for the price of one
I think there the best summon because of that. You know more bang for your buck.

[Sum Yung Guy]

oh i just relized Shiva in FFX was one of my most used summons lol... shes shes really good looking I always got her every spell and her evade is sooooooooooo damn high that whenever a strong monster that can 1 hit kill her attacks, it misses like every single time and the overdrive bar fills up 100% and I dont even miss any turn with her after using overdrive cus of her speed.

[Raziel]

You can replay the motorcycle game once you get to Gold Saucer, which happens to be one of the coolest areas of the game.

shiva was a good aeon in FFX unlike all the other FF series... all the other series really suck but FFX's shiva, is a real advanced aeon since u get a bit later in the game.

[JohnnyTAE]

shiva and the lightning horse are my favorite!

[Raziel]

What the hell was that horse's name? Ixion? I KNOW it had an X in there somewhere...

[Sum Yung Guy]

ugh i hated ixion...... i always used him first in boss battles cus i hes my weakest.... atleast that other flying one.. valefor can dodge hits

[I)ark_Phoenix]

Valefore is pretty good and it can break 9999 points of dmg when u when u get Yuna's legendary weapon and when u get the upgraded overdrive for valefor. Ixion, i agree with both of you, i hate ixion he aint that strong and on top of that, he looks like the monster in FF8... in the snow plains somewhere.

[JohnnyTAE]

Ixion was the best he had cool effects he might of been weak in the end but in the begining he was one tough horse

Tongans are renown Horse eaters Yummy! every time I summoned him I got hungry ;)

[Sum Yung Guy]

:eek: horse eaters?

[JohnnyTAE]

Yeah the other, other white meat taste like pork and is real tender

20,000? You could power it up with materia so it did 9,999*8 damage. Of course, magic counter was still better in most cases, if the user already was a good spellcaster. Amazingly, my Jean Cloud Van Damme was always a better spellcaster than Tifa.

[Hell Hound]

magus sisters knights of the round and diablo i think are the all time best

[JohnnyTAE]

Yeah I forgot about Knights of the round table they replace my horsy friend :(

[Sum Yung Guy]

You ate the knights of the round table?!?!

[NonGayMan]

Knights of the Round Table ruled against Sephiroth especially Bizarro-Sephiroth.

[Hell Hound]

no crap a couple of hit and the bitch was dead

[I)ark_Phoenix]

meh, i gotta beat this game soon... so that i can actually understand wut u guys are talking about...

[JohnnyTAE]

Nope just there horseys and remember that show My little pony we ate them too thats why you don't see them around ne more

You haven't played it? o_O

I forgot to mention Yojimbo is badass too him and his Ronin ways

[NonGayMan]

Pheonix you gotta beat FF7! It's one of the Final Fantasy games that you have to beat.

[I)ark_Phoenix]

well, im just too lazy to play it lol im still at Kalm... poo.

[Hell Hound]

i kinda like the hydra summon in ff5

[I)ark_Phoenix]

hmm, i dont think ive ever played it or even seen that game...

[VComegasin]

Final Fantasy 5? That brings back my memory, or not? 'cuz I already forget about it :noid:! However, my favourite summon monster in Final Fantasy series has to be "Ifrit"; he is awesome (though he might not be that good) His attack looks wicked, "Hell Fire" is one of the best attacks a summoning monster can do. Ifrit, I give him 9.9/10 (where did .1 go? 'cuz he sux afterward lol)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hate Ixion in Final Fantasy X, too. I thought he was good, but then I found out that he is one piece of Hourse$hit~ :confused:

[I)ark_Phoenix]

ugh, i must add that i didnt like Ifrit so much either. Its never that strong in any of the series and he doesnt look too good to me.

[okok44]

DUH every on knows it ANIMA

[VComegasin]

Talk about Anima's Oblivion, damn, super strong and scary. I hope I don't get to be oblivioned~

[I)ark_Phoenix]

the conclusion... Anima beats all summons...

[okok44]

I know who can beat ANIMA but the thing is u can pick him . Its the final summon tiduses father . man u got to say it will be real nice if u could have picked him.

[mightychicken]

he's much weaker than anima. without those two poles, he's still got more HP i'll admit, but Anima can kill Jecht in 3 hits.

[BlueCube]

Still, I just used Tidus' Caldbolg (sp?) thing, and built up in the cactuar area for like 3 hours... dealt 20000+ damage a turn.

Anima "r0x0rs".

[I)ark_Phoenix]

My Anima alone killed Jecht... heck, i didnt even need Magus Sisters for him.

[okok44]

dam it if u could pick him i would slice anima in half hehe srry anima but its true.

[BMS-IcE-]

What no one said anythin about Bahamut >_< Bahamut owns. But I haven't played FFX... or FFIX for the matter. (Don't got PS2... hell I don't even got a PS1. >_<)

[Raziel]

I still say Odin. And believe you me, I was MAD to find out that he wasn't in FFX.

[mightychicken]

you should be able to do a lot more. remember to keep your HP up with that sword, as it affects the amount of damage you can do with it.

[I)ark_Phoenix]

for those of you who got the Cadabolg... how did the hell did u get get the Sigil for it... the one where u have to get 0:0:0 time in the chocobo racing to get it... its like almost impossible task for me...

[okok44]

its easy just get 14 ballons dodge the brids dont take to long and always stay infront of her.

[I)ark_Phoenix]

its not that easy... easy said than done...

[StonedTauren]

my favorite summon has to be:
Magus Sisters from FFX

[I)ark_Phoenix]

I thought their Overdrive was going to be better... but it really sucked if you ask me. I still prefer Anima.

[PuNk dadEO]

All Creation on FF7 summoned by Yuffie

[Admiral_Jason]

That is a LIMIT BREAK! And you know Lionheart is so much better. Omnislash is equally hot.

Anyway the best summon is Cyclops or Bahamut from FFT. The best looking is probably Eden or Bahamut from FF8.

[PuNk dadEO]

Opps, sorry. Best summon was Pheonix, for all final fantasys. Knights of Round i thought was TOO good, there was no competition when you could be able to summon that.

[RoboticSilence]

Ifrit owns... :D

[Medieval Bob]

im sorry but im just a ff7 freak i would have to say knights of the round these kguys guys kick ass how could you not like it.it does over 20,000 damage and you just cant get better with the cinamatics.its the top of the line man

Yep, Knights of the Round freaking ownt.

[Titusfied]

Holy shit PuNk, this was a long time dead thread, but it seems to be getting revived every other month or so...

Anyway, Knights of the Round in FFVII was the best in my opinion. Omnislash was the coolest break point by far... Especially when Sephiroth feels the damage in the ending scene. Cloud was just straight up pissed!!!

Oh yeah, I actually really dislike the FFX playable summons option. I've gotten accustomed to their role over the series and they kinda just pulled that shit out of no where. Oh well, they aren't that bad, but FFVII is still my favorite out of them all.

[PuNk dadEO]

7 was the best, from the skill breaks, to the summons, the characters, even the story line was the best in my opinion. I think that it should've took much more effort to get the knights of round, getting a gold chocobo was very very easy, just took a year and a half to race,breed, and know wut type of nut to feed. I wish it took effort and not time to get the Knights of round. Also, the best skill break was Yuffies level 4 All Creation.

[Raziel]

...Limit Break...not "skill break".

And FF7 was shit compared to FF4, FF6 or FF9.

[Titusfied]

I never played 4 or 6, but it is definitely better than 9...

[Raziel]

Meh, it's not necessarily your fault that your taste in video games sucks.

[Titusfied]

Heh, so I guess opinons are no longer a part of your civilized world?

[JiDDaR]

I like FF7 more as 9, too.

[Raziel]

Everyone's free to their own opinion, Titus. Just as I am free to openly mock those opinions.

[Titusfied]

Whatever floats your boat.

[Raziel]

Pontoons...

[Senesia]

I like FF4, 6, 9 ^_^
Didn't play FF7...
And I never finished FF Mystic Quest.

[Raziel]

I'm having trouble figuring out why you started it.

[Kuja`s #1]

Mine would have to be Bahamut ZERO. I like all Bahamuts from all the FFs but this was my favorite. He had such a kick ass attack (even though the KOTR was much more powerful)

[I)ark_Phoenix]

people... get back on the topic... and as I have said this many times long time ago, phoenix is my favourite summon.

[Kuja`s #1]

Pheonix please get al life. All Pheonix does is revive and cause medium damage. Get a new name and favorite summon.

[tacoX]

Anima in FFX, he...man, he is wicked!!!

Agreed.

[Kuja`s #1]

I don't know if this counts but, Griever from FF8. You can't summon him but he's the best! The music that plays when you're beat'n the shit out of him is one of my favorite FF songs.
