Do you even use Espers?
is there even a need for espers in this game? well except to get past the gate in the feywood to go to giruvegan, but other than that do you even use them in battle?
i dont, i havent used one in my entire 12 file, i find them to be really pointless, and its weird how you have to do certain things to have them do their "special attacks"
In truth, they are not useful under normal means. However, they can be useful for some things. If you're running out of MP, you can try using Syphon on the Esper for some free MP. If you want to level up faster, you can summon an Esper so the summoner will gain more exp.
Other than that, I only used Belias once in a battle to totally annihilate (SPOILER)Vossler.
I recently used Belias against the earth worm/whatever it's called in golmore, it was actually pretty useful. i think they're good to use soon after you get them, but not long after that. i'm about to get wahtever the one in stillshrine's called, maybe i'll try using it out this playthrough to see if i'm right.
Matus right?
im getting them just for the fun of making them my bitches
I like chocolate!! No matter what flavor you get, you can always taste the broken dreams!
~Dead people should stay dead, otherwise whats the point of killing them???
They're fair from essential, but I've found a number of situations in which deploying them tends to be very useful. The typically obvious circumstances; a monster with an elemental weakness, an off tank against groups of enemies my characters might have trouble with, taking hits from really powerful boss attacks.
Personally, I'm glad they're not overpowered. It's what I like so much about FFXII in the first place. It applies some real, smart strategies in it's battles for the first time in the series in a LONG time, and you'll only end up becoming overpowered if you go out of your way to do so.

Not really. If you can kill the Esper, you can kill everything faster than it once it's yours. The balance of it is pretty off.
I didn't use them much...especially when there were more than two enemies in a boss fight...
I found the espers pretty useless in battle if there were several enemies ganging up on my party. When that was the case the Esper died pretty quickly.
They looks pretty.
This and they're "Limit Breaks"
That's the only reason why I use them.
Cuchulainn's ultimate attack is disgusting!
I found Espers to be completely useless. Worst summons ever, IMO.
They are good for when enemies gang up on you or to syphon MP from them

They provide entertaining fights but apart from that as I said in that thread I started they suck.
