Eidolon, GF, Aeon, Summon

[§håd0w]

sorta basic. but which sounded the coolest when u first played the games... Eidolon, Aeons, GF, or just Summon. If i left somethin out, feel free to add. but i dont think i did

[TheAbominatrix]

Espers.

[§håd0w]

damnit i did forget somethin

[Outsider]

I'm old schooled, so I call them Espers or "Summoned Monsters"...

[BG-57]

Whatever they're called, I liked the FFVIII Guardian Forces the best, both in name and in appearance. :)

[Xander]

If we are just talking about the word for the summons, I liked "Aeons" the best it sounds pretty, and very fantasy-ish, can't think of a word.

"Guardian Forces" is too long, and gf = girlfriend :confused:

Eidolons is also quite a good name but kinda hard to say, aeons is nice and simple but sounds cool.

Although in general conversation I usually call them "summons" whichever game I'm talking about. :p

[lemonation]

Aeons. Why? Two reasons. First, you can control them like charcters. That was cool. Second, I have no experience with those others. :greenie: Still, cant's beat those Aeons.

Vote Aeon!!!

[Radje]

I voted aeons since i like the sound better but i too usually refer to them in general as summons, unless i'm with paul who knows loads about every final fantasy so i have to specificly name them espers or GFs etc

[muchacho]

keep it easy. summons

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Offhand, I call them Genjû. It's really their correct name, and it's easy to say besides.

[Divina]

I prefer Eidolon(s).

[Big D]

'Eidolon' has the advantage of sounding like a rip-off of 'Pokemon', yet really being an old English word for 'phantom' or 'spirit'.

I prefer 'summon monsters', or 'summon spells', generally, but in each specific game, I use the appropriate name - such as GF in FFVIII, Eidolons in FFIX.

[Sephex]

Summon sounds the best to me....thats probably because I played FF since the first one.

[m4tt]

Espers.

[the blitzer]

Aeons. They sound the best and you can use them as atucall charicters.

[abrojtm]

Summons, Phantom Beast is alright. I'd just prefered that they had kept Summons throughout the series.

[Flying Mullet]

Espers :rock:

[Anubos]

Summons only cause I play alot of online rpg's and just a few other like psx rpgs before I picked up my first ff (ffviii, but now have played them all :)) but they were all considered summons in those game's, so it just came natural to me to call them summons.

[Vermachtnis]

Aeons just sounds cool, and Eidolon is very fantasy so it's a toss up between those two.

I'd appreciate it if someone would add the other options to the poll so I could vote (hi Kishi).

[Big D]

Y'know, there's already an option for people who don't like the other choices.

[zacks_clone]

Summons.Final Fantasy VII got me into saying 'summons'.It stuck.now they are all 'summons

[inlineskating29]

aeons for me but what are Genjû

and espers

[TheAbominatrix]

Genju is the Japanese term for Espers, which are the summons from Final Fantasy 6.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Genjû is actually the term used for all the summoned creatures throughout the entire series, not just FFVI.

[Inuyasha23]

This is a simple part of every FF game so why confuse it with names. They are all summoned no matter what there called. thus there called Summons.:mog: :choc:

[Pancaek]

I tend to use "summon" just as a generic term for any summon-able creature in the series, but I think Espers sounds the best.

[Cz]

Summons, or 'elemental spells on steroids'.

[Sefie1999AD]

"Summons" or "Summoned Monsters" is what I usually use.

[Breine]

I use the word "Summon", but I think Eidolon sounds the coolest.

[ShadyMilkman]

I don't lik it when people say that something should be something for everything just cause they say so.. not that I'm pointing anyone out or anything. But I like to say Eidolon because it just sounds so darn mysterious.

[Ashley2]

Summons and Eidolon.
