Favorite Summon in Each Game

[Death Penalty]

Basically, just do a list of each Final Fantasy game you played with your favorite summon in it and give a brief reason why that summon is your favorite. I'm aware that there is indeed a previous favorite summon thread, but consider this one to be a bit more comprehensive!

Final Fantasy III - Bahamut. He's simply the coolest in a pretty basic list.

Final Fantasy IV - Mist Dragon. He's a bit different from what you usually see, and I'm sad he hasn't shown up in recent games.

Final Fantasy V - Phoenix. I was always really impressed with the capability to hurt my foes and revive me, as a kid!

Final Fantasy VI - Tritoch. I found the triple element thing, along with his design and role in the story, very cool.

Final Fantasy VII - Bahamut ZERO. Yeah, I'm sure you all know why, though it was close with Alexander and Knights of the Round.

Final Fantasy VIII - Alexander. Giant robot castle knight. Always loved him. Close call with Pandemona, though, who is unique and cool.

Final Fantasy IX - Atomos. Again, he's unique, and the gravity element it awesome. His cutscene helped. I'd have said Alexander again, but he's not obtainable. D:

Final Fantasy X - Yojimbo. I usually don't like really humanoid summons, but Yojimbo looked awesome.

Final Fantasy XII - Exodus. The fact that it gave you a sense of scale made his final attack more impressive to me than even Zodiark's.

Crisis Core - Bahamut FURY. Same reason as Bahamut ZERO, only ten times more.

Welp, that's it for me! Anyone else feel like making a list?

Considering summons are my favorite type of magic in RPG's, I'll take the time to do this.

Final Fantasy III - I must admit, I didn't really play this one much, but it would have to be Bahamut, since the rest of them didn't really amaze me this time.

Final Fantasy IV - Mist Dragon, again because he's different.

Final Fantasy V - Sylph, because anything that heals you while doing damage at the same time is awesome.

Final Fantasy VI - Alexander. He is my favorite summon in the Final Fantasy series, and this was his introductory appearance, so it's a given.

Final Fantasy VII - Knights of the Round, because of that amazing damage and awesome cutscene.

Final Fantasy VIII - Alexander, because I wasn't overall impressed with the GF's apart from my ol' standard.

Final Fantasy IX - Fenrir, because I liked the whole dual-element thing he had going on. Very handy.

Final Fantasy X - Shiva. This is the first time she really amazed me in battle, and she was my most used Aeon up until I got Anima and the Magus Sisters. She was uber hardcore.

Final Fantasy XI - I only ever got Carbuncle and Shiva in this one, and Shiva amazed me at a much higher level. Especially since she was so much more epic in comparison to gimpy Carbuncle. Had I got him, Diabolos would definitely fill this spot, but I don't see that happening.

Final Fantasy XII - Ultima. Her design is amazing, and she just seemed a lot more singular compared to the other Espers. They all flew straight by me, with Ultima being the only one that really wowed me. Then again, I never really saw Zodiark.

Crisis Core - Moogle. THAT SUMMONING CUTSCENE IS SO CUTE~ And his ability was mighty useful for grinding your materia to the max level for fusions.

FFV - Ramuh. I loved that move where he can instantly kill the opponent.
FFVI - Shiva. It was cool when I got hr at that one machine place..
FFVII - Knight of the Round. The ultimate destruction...
FFIX - Can't remember, but it's ironic that I don't since it's my favorite. I didn't use summons in this game as often.
FFX - Valefor - Simpleass..
FFXII - Ultima - She is just divine in about everyway..
Crisis Core: I'm currently playing and yeah...

FFVI = Crusader. How this summon has not made a come back is beyond me. You cast it and everyone on screen gets attacked. This summon hates us all. It's also a cool name.

FFVII = Bahamut Zero. It's a pretty looking dragon that blows a enemy up from space.

FFX = The Magus Sisters. Interesting trio.

FFXI = Fenrir. Good design. Never owned him but sure looked awesome.

FFXII = Ultima and Adrammelech. I just like their designs. Ultima looked pretty good for a Holy summon.

I played FFIV and III but nothing stood out.

[azziana-azmy]

FF VIII: Brothers, Cerberus, Doomtrain & Eden
FF X: Valefor, Anima
FF XIII: Brynhildr
Always become the favourite one: Odin

FFIII - Shiva

FFIV - Shiva

FFVIICC - Phoenix

FFVII - Phoenix

FFVIII - Shiva

FFX - Shiva / Magus Sisters

FFXII - Ultima

FFTA2 - Phoenix

Basically I liked angel-like things a lot so Ultima wins.

I love Phoenix because I'm a flamer? :wtf: No really, favorite mythological creature and yeah the whole bring your entire party back from the dead, especially in FFTA2, was pretty swell.

Magus Sisters were just fun to use and, well, they pretty much own anything.

Last but not least, Shiva...
