A Summon Tradition

[Wolf Kanno]

Going back through the series, one of the more overlooked but amusing traditions in the series has been the FF series taking former bosses and high profile enemies, and making them into summons. Titan, Siren, Typhon, Bomb, Imp, Tonberry, Cauctar, Atmos, Magus Sisters, Yojimbo, and Gilgamesh. So in future FFs, what minor boss or memorable random enemy would you like to see get the Summon treatment in a future installment?

[I Don't Need A Name]

Let's get a Behemoth summon. It'd be about goddamn time!

[Carl the Llama]

Any answer other then Malboro is the wrong answer.

[Jiro]

Has there been an Ahriman? I swear that VI basically made every enemy into an esper. But imagine being a damn floaty eyeball!

Both are in Dissidia actually.

Pupu needs to come back! (yes Pupu is in dissidia as well but Pupu needs more elixer)

[Slothy]

I find it appalling that Ultros hasn't been summonified yet.

Dissidia again

[Martyr]

I've never played Dissidia.
I better come up with something really unusual if I don't want to get Dissidia'd.

I was thinking Kary, but Odin probably does whatever she will. I mean, there aren't really any element or type attacks that aren't covered well enough by plenty of summons to make them unique. Everything's gonna be redundant.


Oh...

(SPOILER)Warmech.

[Wolf Kanno]

Dissidia doesn't count, I'm talking a numbered FF treatment. Like a summon you would like to see in FFXV.

[Darkswordofchaos]

i wana summon sephiroth

Funny thing is Kary is actually a summon in Dissidia as well.

I'll stop with all the dissidia now.

[Depression Moon]

I think Behemoth and Marlboro would be givens, but I don't actually care if they're made into summons or not. A lot of the enemy summons seem weak or useless like Imp, Bomb, and Chocobo from IV and Tonberry from VIII.

[VeloZer0]

Chocobo from FF7 was extremely useful. Weakest summon in the game, but imo the most useful. (Provided you don't have Mantra Magic that is....)

I wonder what it would be like if they made the summon job use more pedestrian monsters that you encountered on your journey. You could have your low summons that you can use regularly, and your high powered ones that cost a ton of mana. One of the beefs I have with the summoner job class/skill set is that it lacks a lot of utility for regular encounters. Low cost common monsters could help fill that niche quite well.

[Depression Moon]

I think that's called a Trainer/Beastmaster.

[WhiteStorm]

I think that's called a Trainer/Beastmaster.

That job was available only in FF5, right? In Tactics it was an ability that enable you to add monsters you encountered on the field to your party. It was cool, actually ^_^

And I vote for Ultros too!!!
