I think it's a tie between Ark from IX because summoning a huge ship that DESTROYS your enemies is fun, Doomtrain from VIII because he's the Dooooooooooooomtrain and Cactuar King from the same game because Final Fantasy always needs more cactuars.

Bahamut will always be my favorite summon.
I just like dragons. Dragons are cool.

Doomtrain. Dat utility.

Technically not a summon. Anyway. Ark.
I'll allow it.

Not the most familiar with summons outside of XIII (when I go back to VII and VIII I'll probably have a better idea). However, from a glance:
Odin:
Phoenix:
Bahamut:
Fenrir:
Again, not the most familiar and only really know 8 to 10 out of like 50.

Favourite summon is Bahamut from Final Fantasy VIII. I also really like Cerberus and Carbuncle.
Also I just saw the towers are a 100 floors and how they work and my reaction was:
I believe I DID mention this. The four job classes aren't worth the bullshit to get even one of them.

Yesterday I played about 17 mins of FF8, I'm surprised at how early the game let's you go out to the world map.
Anyway here's what I grasp about the Junction and Draw systems:
So, you draw magic from enemies and it's yours to keep or use in the junction system right? In the Junction system, you choose Guardian Forces and those Guardian Forces open up some stats for you to upgrade and you upgrade by using the Drawn magic. I think that's about right but do GFs level up too? How does leveling them up help?

So that's it? lol, it's not even that hard to understand then. I thought I was missing something because of how many complaints I heard about Junction being complex.

A Mega-Flare for anyone that does get appreciate Yuna's best Aeon
The Shiva Twins are great too.

Yeah I just had to see how they were personally lol but no way I'm bothering with them right now. Maybe when I'm done my backlog I'll come back and try them out.

The only thing I liked about Yuna was her hilarious faceplant at the end of FFX

This is a bit off topic... But seriously, wtf at Lightning's "THUUUNDAGAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" line? While I certainly think Duodecim's VA direction is better that Dissidia's, that line is just... what? I think that it's the fact that it doesn't even sound much like Hillis that throws me off.

haha i've used that move so much.
what does she say in japanese? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ov_E3jfrys&feature=youtu.be&t=1m
I had forgotten about that! It was really hilarious the first time I heard it with no warning.
As far as it not sounding like Hillis goes, although it doesn't sound anything like Lightning, I could imagine Palutena saying it.

When you put it like that... Yeah, I can see it.
Well, definitely not because of the music.
Clearance sale alert for Aventura FL at a beat buy. FFX HD Vita physical is listed as 23.99, but when They rung it up, it was 23.53 total
Coincidentally, my first physical vita game
also, if anyone wants the SQEX Members code that came with, just let me know. not really sure what they're for

I love FF8's music! And it's setting.
Story I'm sorta split on. Except the Orphanage. God what an awful twist.

The music is great.
Laguna parts are good.

I really don't see the big deal.
So my faves are
Bahamut, Final Fantasy IV
Maduin, Final Fantasy VI
Ark, Final Fantasy IX
Magus Sisters, Final Fantasy X
But of course the best character in the summons category is this'n right here:

Terra only half counts as a summon though. 
Terra only half counts as a summon though.
That's because she's also 50% badass mech pilot.
MagiusNecros
Gilgamesh Fan Annoyance
50% is also a failing grade.
Not when it's added to another 50% it's not.
MagiusNecros
Gilgamesh Fan Annoyance
Except both 50% grades apply to different things implying Terra fails at 2 things.
------------------
Did Terra ever pilot Magitek armor outside of the slave crown?

You can also pilot it inside of Cyan's dream, where Terra retains her advanced Magitek skillset.
MagiusNecros
Gilgamesh Fan Annoyance
So outside the dream world that's a no?
I don't recall there ever being another instance in which you use Magitek Armor. Those are the only two times its available. Sabin steals some in his quest, but you don't use it in battle from what I recall.
But her wearing the slave crown is irrelevant to her abilities since she can use them without the slave crown in Cyan's dream. Terra's abilities in that dream would not be a construct of Cyan's subconscious because Cyan never saw her fight in one. The armor itself is, but Terra's ability to pilot it is not.
MagiusNecros
Gilgamesh Fan Annoyance
Makes sense. I have to assume time with the slave crown hardwired the knowhow of using magitek into her brain.

Actually they do use it in battle, but they don't have Tek Missiles and all that fancy stuff.
They can only use basic beams.
I dunno. The game makes it sound like being under the Slave Crown hinders her more than helps her. It makes her obedient and eliminates her emotions, but judging from the convo after it comes off its not exactly good for the brain.
I assume that the reason she's good is because 1) She was raised to do it. Terra probably has more experience operating one than even Celes since she was in imperial custody most of her life and 2) she's half-Esper and the machine runs on Espers.
Right, because Terra's the only one with access to that jazz.
