Surprise!

Least Favourite Recurring Summon

These guys keep coming back. Why? Well I guess Square Enix thought that people appreciated a little consistency. That's probably why they went and did that stupid smurfing linking of FFVII, FFX and FFX-2. Then they went and put FFTactics, FFTA, FFTA2, FFXII, Revenant Wings and Vagrant Story in the same universe. God damn. But you hate this sort of thing. You like it when everything is FRESH and EXCITING. Well fine. Have it your way.

Just two tied winners here. Say hello to Ifrit and Odin!

Odin. I don't like horses.

I'm sure they absolutely love you though Bubba. Mmmhmmm. Yeaaah.

I'll go with Ifrit. I generally dislike the early summons, particularly elementals because magic can usually do their job just as well or better, and with less MP cost. The only reason I'm going with Ifrit over Shiva or Ramuh is because Ramuh looks like Gandalf and Shiva shows some skin. Sure, these summons have been useful in some games (even if Ramuh gets replaced too often), but by and large I never use them. Maybe I've never forgiven them for being useless in FFIV since you start with Titan and the like as soon as you have access to them and Titan was always cooler.

Titan is pretty cool but the fact you vote for the weird demon over the sexy chick and gandalf makes me love you so hard.

Odin, at least until they figured out he should so damage if he can’t instant death.

Odin ever deals damage?

Odin has a habit of instant killing enemies, which can be annoying if you're trying to deal with them in a certain manner, or steal from them, or something of the sort. His ability is also random, and doesn't work on bosses, making it one really inconvenient manner of doing stuff.

Stupid smurfing instant death when you don't want it.

One Pointers

• Titan
• Chocobo
• Diabolos
• Ramuh

Chocobo, not useful in battle, but it was fun to watch in FF VII.

Way to pick one of the least recurring summons bro.

I don't know

WELL NEITHER DO I.

Diabolos...useless where it counts.

Which is where? Try being more specific guys. Come on. Seriously now.

Ramuh. Didn't really find him useful in any FF I played that has him. I'm just gonna assume he counts as recurring.

I like to think that a big beardy old dude with command over lightning would be pretty smurfing useful. Have you ever been struck by lightning? No? Well then you don't get a say.

Quite a few tied up here! Give a big warm welcome to Siren, Shiva, Slyph and Carbuncle! Way to ruin the smurfing S thing we had going, you sluts.

Siren. Nothing worth spending the MP to summon her is vulnerable to silence. And then in FFVIII you get Doomtrain anyway.

Doomtrain only causes arousal in one person I know, though.

Hard to come up with one here since most recurring summons are pretty good. I'll go with Sylph.

Didn't even know Slyph was recurring. Maybe you're wrong.

Gameplay-wise, Siren.

I think this is the second time you've done this. YES, GAMEPLAY WISE YOU GIANT SPASTIC. THAT WAS THE ENTIRE POINT OF EVERYTHING. I wonder now if you've just answered these questions aesthetically or something because it would explain why you are so far off the mark that I want to kill myself before you.

Carbuncle, because it's rarely useful after the token boss battle after you just acquire it(Exdeath, Edea, ect...). The only game it would have been super useful in is a game that predates it's existence (IV).

That actually makes sense so I forgive you for breaking the S chain we had going.


SEE HOW smurfING CONFUSING THINGS ARE WHEN YOU CHANGE THEM UP? Let's not hate on tradition, folks. Let's enjoy it like one enjoys a nice glass of chocolate milk after a hard day of being awesome. Not that you would know.
