We've seen many incarnations of classic summons like Ramuh, Shiva, Odin and Ifrit over the years. We've even had several threads discussing our favorite versions of them, but which ones were you're least favorite?
Least favorite recurring Summon designs

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I never liked X's Bahamut. Half the time I didn't know what I was looking at.
Ifrit is consistently awesome, though
We talking just a particular summon or an incarnation of one?
Overall recurring, Siren. There's not a single game where I found myself using her, at least Carbuncle is useful in two instances. I think the ones in XII appear in Tactics? If so then almost all of those too because they couldn't take a hit from a small bird.
Incarnation of one. Mostly design-wise but gameplay specs count too if you want to.Originally Posted by Depression Moon

Incarnation of one I like design-wise, I'd have to go with Bahamut in X as well in addition to Advent Children. They both have a grotesque look with too much stuff going on in their designs. They just come off looking ugly.
Not a fan of FFVII Shiva as she reminds me of Madonna with that hair.
I'm not big on Shiva's IV or V designs.
Actually, a lot of the summons in those early ones aren't that great. IV-VI had a lot of hit & miss.
I don't mind her VII design. X was her best. I think that's her defining design.
I absolutely hated FFX's Bahamut. Its got rainbow wings and is real bright. I mean come on, every other design he was this sky "King of GF's" who was 2nd best at worst. They really messed him up and not only are many other Aeons in that game better then he is... he exhales rainbow bursts as a megaflare. WTF
EDIT: Although the worst is those summons who attack the party members too. Cyclops {cough,cough}

Historically Bahamut is my favourite summon, but I also didn't particularly like the FF10 interpretation. I like a sleeker dragon look rather than the random parts jutting out all over look.
Also on a side note I think that Bahamut from FF12 could stand to be a bit more dragoney.
>>Am willing to change opinions based on data<<
I'm probably the only one that likes FFX Bahamut then xD I liked how bulky he looked and how he crosses his arms like a boss xD I hated AC Bahamut Sin though, he didn't even look like a dragon but a big ugly bird with gross people teeth.
I never liked the non fluffy incarnations of Ifrit either, VIII and X had the best ones to me. I didn't like VII's Ifrit who looked like an ugly goblin.
VIII and XIV have the best Carbuncles too, XIII's carbuncle was too fabulous for me :/
Agreed. Though I never made the goblin connection I don't think green is his color.
Shiva's design in 7 is awful.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
FF VIII Shiva- she looks like a horrid alien.
She does !
Yuck !
