Favourite: Odin (VIII)
Least Favourite has to be Anima (I think that was the name.... big mummy thing in chains)
The weapons in VII should have been available in materia!
Bahamut Zero!!!!
Graphically I have no idea..... Probably go with Bahamut in XIII -

To all questions: Garuda from FFXI.
Why is she one of my least favorite summons? The fact that I can't get jiggy with her. -

3. I don't really really think any are terrible... Well, maybe Chupon, but I think Knights of The Round is probably my least favorite simply because it takes forever, followed by Eden.
4. Goblins.
5. Artistically I'd probably say most of the ones from FFVIII.
6. Graphically I'd probably say most of the ones from FFVIII. -

The answer can only be OPTIMUS PRIME!
Least Favorite summon: Any summon that isn't Optimus Prime. -
06-13-2011, 10:31 AMSynapseDoomtrain and Diablos are kinda like undead i guess, i was hoping for someone to say Hades, but still i want a kick ass undead summon!Quote:

For the undead people, FFT Lich says hi.
Also Zalera from FFXII, but he's sorta a special case I think. -

I always hated "carbuncle" until FFXI =/ , now if FFXIV has a summoner is carbuncle or bust! but is easy implemented because astral dmg :P

You forgot Eidolon! xD
Who/what is your favorite summon from FF's storied past? Hmm.. probably a tie between Anima from X and Bahamut from IX
Favorite summon attack? Zantetsuken. Odin may not be my favorite, but Zantetsuken sure makes him look badass.
least favorite summon? Atomos from IX. Hardly ever used it, and it looked hideous.
One MOB that was never a GF/summon but should have been? Uh.. Hedgehog Pie? XD
What summon was artistically the best? Bahamut (FFIX)
Which one was graphically the best? Anima -

Probably something of Anima's in FFX, that thing was creepy and awesome.Quote:
Favorite summon attack?
Odin/Alexander from FFXI, useful but so underwhelming. I love Alexander as a summon when it shows up (and it was pretty awesome in the FFXI story), but useable once every 2 hours for one ability sucks.Quote:
least favorite summon?
Goblins. Edit: well, according to the post above it was in IV.Quote:
One MOB that was never a GF/summon but should have been?
All of FFXII's summons were pretty gorgeous, so I'd say either Ultima from XII or Shiva from FFXIII (minus the bike thing).Quote:
What summon was artistically the best?
Alexander, FFIX or purely from a technical standpoint Ifrit from XIV looked awesome when it appeared.Quote:

06-13-2011, 10:47 PMSephrHah, good to see another big FFIX fan. Atomos really was awful in IX outside of that amazing cutscene it's in, although it's a lot cooler in FFXI.Quote:

To all besides least favorite, I would have to say Anima!!! I was so happy when I learned I could actually summon it for myself after seeing it in a CS in FFX. xD Least favorite? Not sure, I really like them all.
