What it says on the tin but to make this a little more streamlined, assume that series standbys like Ifrit, Shiva, Odin, Leviathan, and Bahamut will be present and accounted for, I'm more interested in unique summons or inconsistent ones.

You know, I oddly miss Choco/Mog from VII. :p

Ramuh or Quezalcoatl, although the do kind of nullify each other. :(

Ramuh is awesome because he always has a wise-man personality. But Quezalcoatl is a beast, which I think most summoned monsters really should be. :p

Alexander as well. More Alexander please!

Definitely Alexander.

I would like to see either Bahamut go back to being the Ultimate/Penultimate summon or even go the FF7 route of having multiple forms. Back in the olden-days he was typically the strongest, and it seems that every time they make a game they want to show how powerful the ultimate summons are by making Bahamut relatively weaker.

I also thought the design of Anima was relatively interesting. Kind of the idea that the summon is so powerful it has to be contained and you are only using a small part.Which is how it should be imo, the summoned monster is a lot stronger than you and is only lending you it's power.

Cactuar. :cactuar:

I also like Valefor, she could be a nice Wind elemental summon.

Maduin/Madeen (they are the same summon) is another one that needs to come back.

Alexander is fun, he blows stuff up with holy might.

Carbuncle because it's adorable. :kaoclove:

I'd also like to see some of the XII Espers as standard summons. They had an excellent backstory, and many of them had brilliant designs.

Golem has definitely been left behind.

I would also like to see the Lich summon from FFT again.

I really, really want Alexander. I support all calls for him to return. I love the holy element! :)

Any other summons? Hmm...

- Cerberus. I am surprised that it's very rare
- Diabolos. Oh come on! A black lamp! It's asking to be a sidequest
- Choco/Mog or the fat Chocobo. I'd love to see them again.

Can't think of any others. I really want Diabolos and Alexander back though.

Alexander. Love that guy. Also Siren, Hades, and Carbuncle. Fenrir seems pretty underrated as well; what's not to like about a summonable wolf?

Forgot about Carbuncle. Really want to see Carbuncle. I love that cute little guy. Wish it did more than just "reflect" though. Not the most useful summon.

I agree w/ these two and I'll add Phoenix and Moomba to them as well. XD

Not really interested in the unique ones, I'd like for the classics and a few other repeats some have mentioned like Alexander and Carbuncle to keep showing up. Part of that FF charm was seeing your favorite older summons in new form and this is another one of the categories where I really wish Square would just stop trying new things.

You know what? We need to be able to summon Grendal.

Hell, why not Ekindu? We already have had Gil as a summon. :p

Hecatonchier or whatever. That was a cool thing.

Magus Sisters were awesome.

I'm with you on that one. I like seeing a couple new ones every time, but bringing back the familiar slate is one of those small details that helps tie each installment back to the franchise.

Diabolos, Alexander, and Bahamut.

I'm on board with Zer0 concerning Bahamut.

And I hope to see Garuda make the transition from the mmo's to an offline FF someday. (Garuda is an enemy in several FF games. She made the leap to a usable summon in FFXI and FFXIV)

Someday there will be a FF that uses past FF characters as summons. That day will be a good day.

I never use him much, but I like to see Ramuh show up.

Phoenix.

Cactuar, Tonberry.

Moogle.

This guy has potential. Gotta love Water summons.

While he is based on my sign, he's part of the XII mythos, so I doubt he'd make a reappearance. I second Pheonix though. I loved the unpredictability of it's revival move.

Ark should show up again.

...what? He was pretty cool.

Anima was pretty cool. I wouldn't mind seeing her again.

If the FF series makes a return to Ivalice, which it may well do, who knows what could happen. :3

If they release another tactics, then perhaps. In terms of a main game series or main game sequel, I highly doubt a return. It's more because they've already done XIII as their focus, and if they decided to work on another sequel, the fanbase will not be amused. At least not until Versus is out anyway :p

The Summoner of Leviathan
01-18-2013, 04:12 PM
You say Leviathan is a staple yet he hasn't gotten too much love lately. I WANT MORE LEVIATHAN! ALL HAIL LEVIATHAN!

Now, assuming I agree with your premise: Alexander, Valefor, and Phoenix. :D

Definitely Anima, although the feeling of power you get when you acquire this aeon probably largely stems from the way they presented her in the storyline.

Yojimbo would also be pretty cool, but Zanmato has to go away.

Also, Doomtrain.

I quite liked Valefor - especially with it's alternate Overdrive. I wouldn't mind seeing Valefor come back in some sort of Knights of the Round/Anima multi-hit massive damage summon.

VeloZer0

Sounds like a great idea for the next game's ultimate summon.

"Misfits":
summons all the single game summons in a huge Knights of the Round style attack.

I second Doomtrain. That GF was my definite standout star in VIII.
