Summons

Well whatever they call them in this game they're certain to appear. Which summons would you like to appear in FFXIII from previous games? Also which game made them look the best? I'd put up a poll but theres too many of them

I dont really know which my favourite is, either Ifrit or Bahamut i think. I prefered how the aeons looked in FFX because they looked more like animals. I didnt like how some of the ones in earlier games were people. I also though Ixion was a pretty good replacement for an electric element summon

Enedok · Sep 15 2006, 12:23 PM

Shiva. I want Shivaaaaa...

This was my favorite in FFX

Unknown Kaze · Sep 15 2006, 04:07 PM

I'd like Neo Bahamut, KOTR or Yojimbo to make an appearance in XIII

Kadaj · Sep 15 2006, 04:19 PM

Yeah, him or an equiviant to Yojimbo would be cool.

Lame how you had to buy him though

I would like Shiva to be in FFXIII since she was awesome in FFX. Just like a real human with a frozen body, long blue hair and sexy

but in another style, not the same as FFX. Then Bahamut of course! he has been in all the ff games and should be in FFXIII as well, with a much more better style but still a bit similar to the old ones. Actually when I am thinking after summons in FFXIII, I think that there should be many more new summons instead of the old ones. Some who have been all the way through all the ff should be in FFXIII too, like Shiva and Bahamut for instance. Maybe a few more, but there should be some new as well, like Ixion in FFX, it was a great summon I think. Maybe they should take some from old ff games and remake them;; just a thought if it sounds like a ridiculous idea

They have been taking summons from old games and remaking them. Rarely any summon is *new* and if it is the summon is nothing more then a enemy in a past game or the most powerful summon(which can be seen in influences from older games).

personally though, I could care less for summons. I rather my characters be at a point where they don't need the aid of a summon of sort to aid them. The most summons have added in the recent FF's were to make them seem important in the storyline and make the game seriously easy. They are nothing more than a trophy like keeping Limit Breaks around.

When you say "the most powerful summon" did we ever see the last Aeon in FFX? Or do it take the shape of the person who sacrifice himself? Or was it the shape of sin himself?

Can't remeber it.

Desi · Sep 21 2006, 04:21 PM

Well it was like a giant bug or some crap.

Shalafai · Oct 18 2006, 06:36 PM

I wish they'd have Sin as a Summoning for this game. But I'd like to see Shiva, The Magus Sisters and Anima back.

Enedok · Oct 18 2006, 08:07 PM

Sin would be overkill. As in overkill every time you battle with him/her. Plus one of your friends would have to die when you use him/her/frigginhugething. But I'll bet it would be cool it the summoning of sin looks like the beginning in FFX. (best. opening. ever.)

Hopefully, if this game has Summonings, it will be like FFX, I really liked how we can control them and stuff. Sin could be like the ultimate hidden Summoning. Like The Magus Sisters in FFX. Sin is so cool. Braska's Final Aeon would be cool for a summoning as well.

The summons in FFXII were new weren't they? I think that in FFXIII they will have some new ones but for nostalgic purposes throw in some of the older ones. But if they did that I would want the old ones to have radically different looks. Not look unrecognizable but look really different. For sure, Magus Sisters and Shiva were the bomb and should be in FFXIII.

Desi · Oct 19 2006, 01:25 AM

Not all of the FFXII summons were new. Most were FFT bosses and FFTA race special summons. Others were final bosses/enemies from older FF's. Which gives it an even bigger nostalgic feeling.

I think most of them are from FFTAand Ifrit has been in FF7 and FF10.

I really liked the Magus Sisters as bugs, it was so pretty when Yuna summoned them. If they change them I hope they still keep them like that. As for Shiva, I'd like to see her different... She's always been the naked blue woman (for what I can remember XD)

Hextan · Oct 19 2006, 01:35 AM

Yeah I think I recognized some From FFTA but I haven't seen all of them, I can't wait to actually get FFXII. The Demo i'm playing is sustaining me but only a little.

Ifrit has been in more then just 7 and 10. More like 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, tactics, tactics advanced. And some other spin off things.

magus sisters are from FF4, so they made the enemy to summon translation like X-death from 5 to 12(as an example) and TA.

I've never played 1-6 and 8, 9 and 11. I want to play 9 though. I knew the Magus Sisters were from 4, my friend told me. Anima is pretty cool too, but it is seems like a sad aeon so I hope it doesn't come back. It's depressing... =(

Desi · Oct 19 2006, 02:33 AM

Off-topic again: in FFXII the more well known summons from the FF series are the names of airships. Carbuncle, Atomos(i believe), Shiva, Ifrit, etc etc.

-Shiva
-Bahamut
|>Sin

Terra Gravition (SFX: boomsprchklerrchkjrbrrbrrbrrbrrbrrbwoooooooooombww wweeeiiiyyyuuuooouuaaammmmBOOOOOOOOOOM!!!)

if Sin is going to be a summon XIII, they're gonna have to keep the FMV's from X, they were awesome! but I would also like to se Anima bash out with oblivion in super graphics and full 1080p. AND Shiva better snap her fingers here too! or else...and alexander, anima, possibly eden, DOOMTRAIN DOOMTRAIN DOOMTRAIN, leviathan, ifrit, shiva, bahamuth, diablos, at least these (VIII had a holy 16). and plz let Anima's oblivion do 1599984 damage....

Ringlets · Jan 26 2007, 05:28 PM

What was the name of the summon that used like 4 different elements and then hit Jenova *Death for like 50 dmg? It may have been awesome (for 32bit graphics) but i have up on it after that incident.
