The best summon is Anima. He does the most damage. I like water and lightning summons though, so Leviathan and Ixion are my favorites, I guess. I never really liked Ramuh. Too bad he's become Shiva's and Ifrit's answer for a lightning summon.

Ramuh, Quezicotl, and Ixion are my immediate favorites (the whole lightning thing and all :D). Also, Bahamut is awesome! Anima doesn't do the most damage, necessarily (not for me anyway, freakin' BS with the remake with extra crap and...dangit, now you done ticked me off again :p).

Hmmm...Bahamut, fer sure, Phoenix is cool, especially in FF9, ummm...I liked Magus Sisters, and Machina Maw (I'm sure it counts as a summon of sorts...)ummmm....head...hurts...too...many...good.....summons.....*head explodes*

I agree...Bahamut's summon was the best (in all FFs), mainly because he was so arrogant when he was summoned and made a big show of coming out..and he could do some serious damage too.

Anima was okay too...if you like the darkness of her.

I'm probably the only person in the world who hates Bahamut.

I find him so boring. All he is is a damn dragon. I've never been impressed by dragons. They're just so overused. And now they're supposedly adding him in as the strongest monster in Chains of Promathia. Ugh. Bahamut has never been the strongest monster in anything. I'm tired of him.

I like original ideas as far as summons go. Hades is my favorite. Anima is great too. I would have liked Eden if I had known wtf he was. Ark was pretty ridiculous, but I liked him a bit.

hmm ... lets see.
i like ark best i guess, then maybe anima.
maybe something like ...

1. ark -ff9
2. anima -ff10
3. leviathan -ff9
4. bahamut -ff9
5. alexander -ff7/9 even though you cant summon him in 9, he is still an eidolon.

3. Carbuncle [FFVIII]

It's hard to choose, msot of them are all so damn cool. You can't leave out classics like Shiva, Ifrit, or Ramuh. Leviathan and Bahamut both are incredibly awesome. In FF8 i found Cerberus to be completely awesome as well. Alexander has always been cool, and I always though Fenrir was awesome. Anyways, im going nowhere with this so I will just end it now.

Mine's Leviathan, shortly followed by Carbuncle. And the Mist Dragon from FFIV.

Dark Matter
09-27-2004, 12:15 AM
.... to summon Odin by using Dark Matter. :love:

Sin's the strongest summon in FF.
Anima's Oblivion is very creepy.

Bahamut will forever be my fav. :love:

I like the idea behind Anima, the whole philosophy that went into her... Very interesting... Although I'd have to say the best summon ever was Yojimbo... Maybe...

FENRIR IS THE BEST SUMMON EVER!

Jolts
09-27-2004, 03:16 PM
Yes, forgot about Fenrir (since the only game I've seen him in is FFIX...didn't get far enough into FFVI).

My favorite creatures are wolves (preferibly, grey/tundra wolves) and dragons (the kind with wings...not the snake-like kind). So it's only natural that those are my favorite. Also, my favorite elemental is electricity, so there you have it. Any summon to do with electricity, wolves, or dragons are my favorite. I liked Anima too, for the sole reason of it being evil on the good side.

actually Knights of Round won a recent tournment with all 64 summons in it. So they are the offical top dog.

Of course they are my personal fav too.

EDIT-What you mean my tournment means nothing? my tournment results are GOD ;) lol...

The only reason everyone voted for Anima against Fenrir in that tournament was because they all felt sorry that Anima had to face such a tremendous foe

Golem has typically been quite an excellent summon.

Yojimbo from FF10 was a fairly unique creation.

And finally, Alexander from FF6. Short summon sequence and looked quite cool.

That doesn't matter here. Just because they finished at #1, doesn't mean that they're EVERYONE's favorite. So there :p.

Anyway, I also liked Gilgamesh from FFVIII. Appearing randomly throughout battles and whatnot, but the only downside is that I've never seen anything other than Excalipoor from him :( (not including what he uses when you first see him).

Isn't the summon that does the most damage KOTR
That depends on wich version you play. In the PAL and International versions of FFX, Anima did 16 hits. If they all did 99,999 damage, then Anima would win, by far, in terms of damage delt (a whopping 1,599,984 damage in one attack!). Of course, I can't back that up, as I have the U.S. version, so you'll just have to ask somebody with the PAL or International version(s), or just trust this link (http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_x_pal_differences.txt), which is where I got my information.

my best summon was bahamut because he looked so awsome bu the most powerful had to be knights of the round from final fantasy VII

I've always liked Odin.

you guys are fools, GARUDA is the best summon, my server is named after him! HE IS GOD!!!!

AsmoAD
10-10-2004, 04:18 PM
I hope people dont base their choices on which ones do more damage. Seriously, KOTR? for crying out loud, it's just 13 guys whacking something one after the other. How could it possibly be more boring or uncreative?

Anima is the best and my favorite :love: -like you didn't know-

Shiva from FF7, 8 and 10! She just rocks!

My favourite summon would be ifrit from 7 & 10- it melts everything in its path! :cool:

What's wrong with FFIX's Shiva?
Speaking of Shiva's, did you ever notice that Yuna was never affected by Shiva's freezing cold cape (or whatever it is)?

Ark is awesome and ff9 lets regen keep going during summons, so the length is really useful in tough battles as well.

I don't remember Shiva from FF91

Armisael
10-13-2004, 02:16 PM
Yep, we all remember Anima vs. Bahamut in the Aeon survivor :greenie:

You mean beatrix9 vs. Ultima Shadow. :D

odin is by far the coolest one out there but the omnislash (clouds final limit) can beat any summon, nights of round and sin put together.

Black Roses

FF8: Eden she too has boobs if u hadn't noticed...
FF7: Bahumaut ZERO and Knights of the Round
FF10: Shiva
FF9: Odin

i would say about tactics and 6 but i either did not finish or have forgotten

Hey I'm back after a while if being away....obviously. Anyway I think I will have to join with alot of the people and say Shiva is the best summon. I think her best form is in FF10!

wow.Didnt Know People put so many replys in.Anyway.I Read most of them and im confused why no one said Alexander from FF7.Irocks.Although not the most powerful(that being KOTRT)But at the time of play he was the best hands down and most helpful.Also 1 more point

I

HATE

ANIMA!!!!!!

Thats better :)

I don't mind Bahamut, I just don't like the "best because does the most damage" rationale. For the porposes of this question, I'll assume all summons do 12 damage. 12 being an arbitrary choice.

Jinn (Ifrit) from IV is pretty cool actually. But for my favorite, I'm going to have to go with Odin, in general. Just a cool summon.

Or Hades... if anyone's ever played Planescape: Torment, and cast the spell "Torment", the sequence looks amost exactly like Hades's. Strange...
