Zantetsuken was making stuff dead long before Zanmato, and to get Yojimbo to do Zanmato is 'spensive. In fact, just GETTING Yojimbo is 'spensive. Odin's Zantestuken is free (gil-wise), and he still has Gungir Spear to fall back on, which is also free and won't decrease his likelihood of doing Zantetsuken any. Gilgamesh can and will do Excalipoor. I'm guessing though that in a fight, Odin and Yojimbo would probably just kill each other at the same moment, then the dog would be very, very sad.
whats a few gil between freinds, besides if you answear correctly you get Yojimbo at a discount, and as ai mentioned before, my Yojimbo was happy to instantly kill any foe without much cost. He's a ronin, he's meant to be payed.
Rubedo: I'll just vote Odin. I've seen him too much not too.
chaos: Yojimbo is out of this- his Zamnato is useful, but I never really preferred him.
Trowa: It is tempting to go with Gilgamesh though, but I haven't completed FFV yet, so, this goes to Odin.
but Jimbo has a hat
chaos: Odin don't need no hat!
Specifically, he's a bodyguard. That's what "yojimbo" means.
he's a masterless samurai
Odin.
Instant death attacks should work like instant death attacks... in other words, not working on bosses. And 5-digit damage is just plain ridiculous... why isn't 4 digits enough? Why is it that all the new games make it so you'll most likely get into the upper limits of the thousands by the end of the game?? In ALL of the old games, you know you're in trouble when you see a boss do 2000 damage. Heck, in FF1 seeing a 200 was a lot. Seeing a hit for 7000+, even from some really amazing special attack or one of the final bosses of the game, was a "HOLY CRAP! HOW much damage!?!?" moment. Especially the first time you get there. But now, you can do 99999 with a summon, just from paying them a ton of money.
Of course, Gilgamesh is OK also (and one that's been both a bad guy AND a good guy.. and a neither-one-really guy... all in the same game! and in others also, heh). I liked FF5... and Gilgamesh also. Though I never did finish that one... ::needs to find the ROM again sometime::
Also one of the big problems I have with the newer FF's... from what I've read of them, anyway (I might like the rest of the game enough to ignore this if I actually played one, but with out a PS/PS2 that would be hard) you should never be able to kill the final boss as quickly as you can in some of these with the right items/attacks/spells/tricks/whatever. A final boss should at least take multiple turns, with at least SOME chance of the thing killing someone.
well thats life, things change and not always for the better
Odin is teh "All Father" of norse gods. Its a close contest though.
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here this is the War room"
and zeus was the king of the greek gods....i want a zeus summon
Odin all the way!!!
Don't be afraid of shadows, it only means there is light shining somewhere behind...
Odin, by far. It's the reason he's the only one you can summon in more than one game.
you mean out of the poll...because shiva and ifrit appear in more than one game
