Now that I think about it, there's something to me that looks "edible" about when the water falls down the rock wall in Leviathan's animation. It almost looks like a solid, like a blue jello or something that I want to eat whenever I watch it. Same as the first seconds of when the animation starts before Leviathan solidifies, it looks like a wiggly jello stick I want to chomp down.Quote:

Just like KotR in VII and Ark in IX, I'm more partial to the longand hardsummons, so I go with Eden.
Diablos, Leviathan, Ifrit, and Doomtrain (because the idea of summoning a train to plow through an enemy is hilarious to me). Really all the summons are handled pretty well. Brothers get special mention.
Only FFX's Shiva is better than VIII's. I'll go with her.
Doomtrain's awesome too though. Quezacotl deserves a mention (if I've spelled it right). I mean... it's a big green lightning bird.
For practical purposes, Doomtrain is very handy with a nice animation to go along with it, and Cerberus is also useful for particularly tough boss battles.
Otherwise, I love Shiva's design and summon animation, and Bahamut, Alexander, and Leviathan are always cool. The animations for Tonberry and Brothers are undeniably quite funny! I'm gonna echo the previous sentiments that Diablos is a badass design who's unfortunately close to useless in battle.
I guess if I had to pick one, it'd be Shiva.
Que(t)zalcoatl/Quezacotl is no bird, it is a feathered snake. Quatls/Coatls are feathered snakes.Quote:

Shiva.
Doomtrain, because he is a demon AND a train.
I feel that for Doomtrain to be complete, we need to see Hades from FFVII serving as the train conductor.
FFVIII has the best Shiva the series has ever had.
I like most of the GFs. Not a huge fan of Eden though. It's just a big blob. Not really awesome enough to be a great GF.
Diablos hands down.
I remember the first time I played the game and Cid gave me that lamp I was totally unaware that a battle would come and I barely defeated him, was really lucky.
Then when I first used it, I saw he casting this big badass dark ball and my controller vibrated like crazy and then i was like OMG that's so cool.
Maybe I was always just superstitious, but I recall Diablos hitting the enemy frequently if he was the first spell casted in combat. I never had any luck with his summon if I tried to use it anytime after the opening round. He probably gets my vote for favorite GF as well. His animation was awesome and taught some of my favorite abilities (Mug, Encounter none and darkside!)
True story: After seeing the discussions over Selphie, Quistis and Rinoa in other threads I came into this thread at first thinking "it's a who's your favourite girlfriend thread - this should be interesting" and then I realised it was about Guardian Forces. :redface:
