Lack of Aeons/Summons/GFs

[Rattler]

I was talking to my friend in school (instead of learning) about how I thought there weren't enough Aeons in this game. Personally, I think the ones they had were incredible, they looked great and performed well. (Bahamut = too colourful though)

Anyways, what happened to water summons, earth summons and fun summons like Cactaur?

Leviathan would of looked amazing in FFX, however (I just thought of it while typing) I dont think Levianthan would work well because, hes a water creature and it would look silly to have water come in when you summon him... What about the earth summons though?
I just thought there was a bit of a lack of variety besides the basic ones....
My two cents + first thread on Eyes On Final Fantasy

Basicly Im saying there arent enough Aeons.

Like in FFVIII there were tons, now I feel that there arent enough

Well, if I understand you correctly, I think they did a good job with the aeon variety. They had one for all the elements (except water which I suppose Leviathan could of been used for). Since earth was not an element in FFX, there would be no reason to have an aeon based on that class. And the game could of been done without the magus sisters since they had no part in the storyline but they were still fun to and usefull to summon.

You know I just now realized Earth isnt in FFX...

It just never struck me...
Oh well...
I want Carbuncle and Cerberus!

[Halenite]

Carbuncle in this game actually wouldn't help much. Honestly, I never used Reflect once.

and Cerberus? What would he be able to do?

and as for taking magus sisters out due to storyline, how baout yojimbo?

Or Anima for that matter.

Those five were bonus Aeons, much like Cactuar and Tonberry King were in VIII. Not absolutely necessary to beat the game, but very useful notheless.

I didn't actually miss the summons that were excluded in X. Ten Aeons were enough for any circumstances in the game.

EDIT: Well 11, if you count Yojimbo's dog.

[SummonerYuna]

Yeah.. there was a good amount of aeons... but they could have been cooler looking.

schools for learning?!?! ack! life wasted, noooo!

Bahamut was too colourful

Didn't look evil like in FFVIII and FFIX

[Halenite]

Or Anima for that matter.

Anima was slightly oriented with the story as [SPOILERS]Seymour's mother.[/SPOILERS]

[BG-57]

Absolutely, but she's still a bonus Aeon in the sense that you don't need to get her to finish the game.

[Halenite]

Meh, fair enough.

[Sain Cai]

They should have had at least a water Aeon, since water was a common magic (not to mention a main theme of the game)
