Thread: Espers. Pointless?

    I use them mainly for levelling up but they can be handy in taking away some of the heat from tough Battles like the Elder Wyrm. Belias was a life saver there. And I used Mateus on that guy in Bur-Omisace (Forgot his name) to win pretty quick. They were pretty useless in this game though.

    Espers are only useful if you want to see awesome animations. Other than that, they are pointless, useless, insignificant, unimportant, a waste of time and pathetic.

    They also make good meat shields

    They don't do too well in the pharos underground...
    Pretty much get killed in 5 seconds or less.

    The only thing espers are good for ...are looking good when you summon them, and thats pretty much about it. I mean all they do is stand there and look goddamn cool

    It is really a shame that they are so useless.

    Had it not been for the part of the game where summoning Belias is required to progress the storyline, I probably would never have even licensed any of them to my characters.

    Well it kinda makes sense when they made espers useless. I mean think about it, many people used summons as a cheaper way to beat bosses easily in the past FF games, so they wanted to make FF12 look more different, they also made it look a bit more difficult by balancing the use/power of epsers and normal attacking/magic, etc, i guess...

    Though if they made espers more useful, it would bring me back to memories of playing the past FF games

    FFXII made the espers weaker & made the physical attacks stronger good trade in my opinion

    When you summon an Esper, you can always Syphon ALL of your MP back.
    I call this "Free Damage" because it's like you summoned without a cost.
