    Maybe it will act like a boomerang in Zelda. Throw to hit a far off switch

    If I recall correctly there was at least one FF using music/dance to inflict status ailments, so it's not really such a bad idea I guess ;p

    But that's Siren! Carbuncle causes reflect... This way, a music payer is a bit inapropriate. It makes even less sense with Oerba's tribal outfit...

    This sounds like transformers. Will summonable tonberrys/cactuars/moogles turn into CDs to put into Carbuncle then? lol.

    I think this aspect of the summons is utter rubbish and could potentially ruin FF13 for me

    The transformations thing had best have no part in battle. I would prefer them to be cool action scenes and that's that. But then, people are going to whine on both sides anyway.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    Hate to break it to you but they do have a part in battle. The controls switch to an input screen and the faster you mash in commands the more wheelies Snowe on the Shiva-Bike does on enemy heads from what I've heard. It almost sounds like it replaces the usual Overdrive/Special attack of the summons for this game...

    There is no confirmation of whether the summons will have a traditional "cinematic attack" but it has been confirmed that "vehicle mode" plays a part in battle. Inputting commands has Snowe utilizing different attacks for the Shiva Bike summon. The system sounds similar to Zell's limit break from VIII

    That doesn't sound too bad... But Carbuncle turning into a CD player is just not right

    Carbuncle is not always limited to giving the reflect status. In IX it is able to give Reflect, Vanish, Shell or Haste depending on the gemstone Eiko equips, as well as Protect if the full animation takes place. In RW, Carbuncle is a healing esper.
