Don't the long ones have a higher attack power?
I like to see the long animations once or twice, but after that I prefer shorter.
If you have the ability Boost active it will display the long attack animation, which also increases their power. I'm not actually sure if there is an option for long or short animation separate to this.
I like long because your HP continues to rise if you have Auto-Regen on (which you should :mad2:).
i'm guilty with this tooQuote:

Consider using Ark with power boost. This would deal about 5000-6000 damage and takes about a minute for the summon. Conversely, using "Shock" with Steiner, "Dragon's Crest" with Freya, both deal 9,999 without 5 second cast time. I don't see the appeal of them.
The only thing I would use it for it perhaps Summons like Carbuncle. Adding Haste/Reflect to the party would be useful.
Honestly, same as Mr. Shauna. I did find them useful in Kuja's Castle, though.
The only summons I really use are Carbuncle and Phoenix (when I just can't heal fast enough and everyone's dead). I always use Eiko in my party over Garnet anyways.
I'm the opposite. I always make them my go-to attack. And go long or go home.Quote:

That was the best use for them in X. They were great against Malboros in particular.Quote:

Oh I didn't even think about auto regen just ticking away as it went through the animation.
Of course I like short as I want to get on with the battle but IX did it well with the whole long ones being boosted.
This is my thinking exactly. For the first time to see the whole sequence played through and see the entire show in its beauty, I'll love the long version. However, once I get a glimpse of the entire scene, I want to see just the shortened version to speed up the battle. No need in wasting precious time. :cool:Quote:
