FFXII SUMMONS

[Shoden]

the summons i want to see are

Bahamut
Gilgamesh
Odin
Leviathan
Ifrit
Shiva
Quezacotl
Pandemona (witha better design)
Shoat
Alexander
Diablos
Fenrir
Titan
Brothers

the old FF summon system was way cooler and better, just hope they have better animations and that Bahamut has a better dragon form like 7 and 8 and Summon evolution like Neo bahamut and Bahamut zero

[Karsh]

I think they need to have at least one or two summons in every game, so I'm okay with them putting in Shiva and Ifrit. I'd also like to see Leviathan, Quezacotl, and Pandamona return. They need to have a summon with an earth-based attack, but I sure hope they don't do something stooopid like the Brothers.

FF VIII was my first so I like the GF system, but I think the Aeons are even cooler, since you can fight right alongside with them. I didn't like FFIX's summons, mainly because it took way to long for Dagger to be able to use any of them at all.

I have loved Ifrit and Shiva since FF6. I hope they are never retired!

[Shoden]

FF will not be the same with summons without Bahamut.

[Max the Man]

well, if it's based in the same world as FF:TA, then it's bound to have some of the summons from that, only I hope Shiva's more like the old Shivas. (not the stupid full armor ice knight crap) I don't remember whether or not FF:TA had bahamut(s), but it's bound to have some, otherwhise it isn't a real numbered FF.

All i want is Knights of the Round re-done, Anima, Yojimbo, Leviathan and not bahamut, but like a Neo-Bahamut or Giga-Bahamut. Also a brand new summon.

Here is some pictures of the aeons so far (scroll down toward bottom)

[Rostum]

I would really like to see:
Shiva, Ifrit, Titan, Carbuncle, Alexander and Bahamut.

[Rinoa Heartilly]

It would be nice to see Unicorn make a return I think, though I doubt it

Others I'd like to see are

Quezacotl
Shiva
Ifrit
Carbuncle
Bahamut
Phoenix
Fenrir
Maduin/Griever (I always thought these two look alike)
Leviathan
Valefor

and I'd welcome the return of a chocobo and/or moogle summon

But alas it is not up to me to decide

[Ouch!]

If they absolutely have to do a summoning system where the summons stay out to fight for you, I think the best way to do it would be to use the FFXI system. You summon your guy out and your MP is slowly drained while you keep him out. There are already enough similarities between the FFXI and FFXII battle systems that I think it'd work nicely.

And by the way, Ramuh > Quetzecotl.

There will definetly be more than four summons because in other Final Fantasies of the past like FFX they just let out the first four of them and said you can find secret summons with side quests.

[Masamune·1600]

Personally I think the only summons comming to FFXII will be the ones shown

1) Adrammelech
2) Velius
3) Kuream
4) Altima
5) Ifrit

5 Summons for the 5 Races, FFTactics style. The above list are only guses from the released screenshots of summons. http://www.ffxiionline.com/main.php?ffxii=9 - scroll down to almost the very bottom.

Well, as was already pointed out, we have yet to see evidence of all five races being included in the party. More to the point, however, the fact that Ifrit has been confirmed means Shiva will eventually appear. It's inevitable.

However, it seems everyone is linking this to FFTA, because of Adrammelech and Altima/Ultima. However, note that Velius is also on the list. Adrammelech (then Adramelk), Altima, and Velius all appeared as Lucavi in the original Final Fantasy Tactics. It wouldn't surprise me to see Zalera or Hashmalum or something on that order also joining the summoning list.

On a personal note, I would like to see a dark elemental summon called Pandemonium. Think about it: Alexander (the usual holy summon) was a castle in FFIX. Pandemonium, for those of you who haven't read Paradise Lost, is the castle or temple where Satan and his minions meet after being cast out of Heaven. Alexander has always had something of a castle look about him (even if he's usually a robot), so this would be great for contrast. It would also recall FFII, where the final dungeon is indeed Pandemonium (or Pandaemonium, actually), the castle from Hell.

And, yes, I want to see the regulars: Odin, Bahamut, Phoenix, Leviathan, and the like.

I found a video showing a beautiful summon of Bahamut in FF12 but it doesn't seem to work anymore for me. Give it a try. http://files.filefront.com/FFXII_amp.../fileinfo.html

[BahamutZer0]

With the exception of FFII of course ;P

Ew.. Bahamut in FFII? *shudders* I couldn't stand that game.

But, I give it a 7/10 cause its a FF game and all FF games own joo...

[Dark Sage]

If there will be Bahamut, I won't have any regrets. Dragons rulez .
