FFX Shiva is best Shiva.

And i guess FF has evolved over the years and the games, and the Summons design has evolved too. Hopefully you'll get some more traditional looking summons in Versus?

IX Shiva > IX Ark (damn I love sitting around for ten minutes to do about 700 damage) > all others.

MTE. Most beautiful summon ever.

the bottom three looks generic

They're supposed to look that way. They're all based off mythical/godlike creatures. One's a dragon, the other's a siren, and the other is Leviathan.

Wait, the summons are different now? *so out of the loop*

omg your icon
its flawless

I do like the summons designs better old school...but something about MECHA PONY ODIN in 13 was awesome.

They're not actually the "main" summons, but I think the Espers on FF12 were the most awesome-looking summons in the entire series. Though I'm not really opposed to the robotic-monster thing they seem to be trying out on the new games, so long as it fits the setting.

It's a shame the Espers were so useless in FF12. By the time you leveled up a bit all they were good for was syphoning their MP.

Summons are always my favorite thing to see, in any of the games. I always go out of my way to get all of them, and in FFXII, that was a bit of a task, but it was worth it! Those things were awesome.

I dunno how much I like the whole transforming-mecha feel to the FFXIII ones, but they do fit in better with the overall atmosphere of it. I think it's just the evolution of the setting that deviates from the "traditional" design.

Aw, me too. I loved the GFs in FFVIII. Shiva & Quezacotl were my go to summons. I used them like crazy and loved Shiva's animation. I can still remember the sound it made. lol

this mindset has always kind of bothered me. I mean I don't care if it's just a preference over old vs. new, like the secret pretty much means.
But I have friends who refused to play the newer games because their summons weren't the same, and I've seen people who hated the new games for this reason and only this reason.

your friends sound like snobs :( videogame snobs

There's a myriad of reasons to dislike it that don't include the summons. They need to at least try to play it before judging it harshly imo.

I admit, I'm not too keen on some of the old designs (silly, but I rather enjoy the FFX Aeons when it comes to appearance), though I would agree that the newer (FFXII/FFXIII) summons are downright stupid-looking (I say that and XII is my favourite of the series so far. :P). The wholly mechanized looks just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I don't know about the OP, but I'd consider FFX's summons to be in the "old" category. If only because they fit into the traditional monster/mythological creature/god/etc appearance that other FF summons had.

I'm not entirely sure what you're whining about. If you're referring to XII and XIII's summons, big deal, those were only two games. You even included a picture of Revenant Wings' Odin, which...came after the point where summons were apparently ruined forever?

I remember seeing a couple of clips of Odin from FFIX as a kid and thought him and his horse were the coolest characters ever. Then, I was disappointed to learn he wasn't as much a character as he was an attack/move/item, at least from the explainations I got.

they don't even fuckin look like that in the games
and why does everyone cum all over the place for shiva

because shiva looks the most like a human woman and they've never seen an actual woman before

duhhhh

Yeah, I agree.

While the graphics and designs for the new summons in FFXIII are pretty well done, I just can't feel the same emotion summoning them. I guess mechanic summons are just not my thing.

That, or maybe it's because I just can summon just one eidolon per battle. I just miss so much summoning as much as I wanted (if I had enough megic points obviously) in every battle as in IX. Now, THOSE really were kickass battles... (btw, I miss trance too)

yeah well i miss when final fantasy games weren't shit

wait lol they were never anything but shit

OH WELL
