NO WAY! Ark is much better then ANY summon Eiko can get.
What part of the game are you at to be claiming this.
As long as he says it's an opinion, he can claim whatever he wants.
In general, Dagger is the better summoner while Eiko is the better white mage. However, in certain situations, Eiko's eidolons can be more useful than Dagger's.
Eiko's eidolons may be more powerful than Dagger's because i) her Magic is higher or, ii) you don't have many jewels to power up Dagger's eidolons.
Well, I did finish the game... but I never obtained the Ark summon. I never got the jewel. But I still think Eiko is better.
I think they are both great I normally have both of them in my party. Garnet for mega damage with Bahamut and Ark. Eiko for healing and Phoenix.
I always found it ironic how Garnet has more powerful summons while Eiko has better White Magic, given their circumstances in the story.
That said, I like Eiko, because she doesn't go mute and stagger over in battle, skipping her turn. But other than that one part of the story, I prefer her now, because I really don't care for Garnet's summons anyhow.
But Garnet's 'Auto-Summon' as a part of her Trance is pretty wicked.
Edit: It should be noted that I've never bothered with Ark. But wow, it'll do 9,999 damage. Not very impressive, considering how much most other attacks can do anyway, unless it's like Eden and goes over the damage limit, which I doubt seeing as how it's FFIX.
That is true. Couple with Vivi for even more damage, and Quina, and you get the whole magic team which, leveled up, can be unstoppable
Not very impressive? I don't see how doing the max amount of damage isn't very impressive. And break damage limit in this game would make it so the game is no longer fun. I mean come on "Hey look at this I could kill hard bosses with one hit" that takes all strategy out of a game where no enemy gets 70,000 Hp.Quote:

IMO,Eiko is better 'cause she has a better outfit and an actual summoner's horn!
PWNED!
(SPOILER)Garnet had a horn but her father removed it, remember? To be honest, I don't think style of dress and whether or not they have a horn are reasonable factors to consider when discussing one's summoning ability.
eiko's horn definitely adds flair to her overall appearance. no one can deny that.
i've actually never played the game but I just thought Eiko looked better,even though she's like,five.
See, Elemental Alchemist's got the right idea.
Well, it isn't like most attacks can do 9,999 damage without going through a lengthly side-quest and defeating a giant luminescent multicoloured orb of destruction. Sephiroth1999AD mentioned a few of them. Point being, most attacks can do around 5,000 ~9,999 damage.Quote:

Well, at least it isn't like FFVI...
thank you, al-bhed_kid0827. at least someone understands what i mean. and for those that don't find 9,999 attack damage impressive, let me tell you that the producers limited the damage to that number for a reason. and that reason was to balance and make a great game.
Eidolons are worthless in the game, except for Phoenix.
Eiko is an overall better character than Dagger.
