Your favorite Final Fantasy Summons.

...What? You go with Bahamut in IX? What about XIV? Because the dragon god had one hell of an entry there.

...Thank you sir for successfully dropping my jaw. That was...a truly incredible swath of destruction courtesy of the Dragon King.

Nothing against XIV's Bahamut though, I chose IX because that was a game I actually played. I'm not an MMO kind of guy, so I avoided XI and XIV...that may have been a mistake on my part but MMO's just aren't my cup of tea. I spend far too much time on the internet as is, I don't need another addiction.

Anyway, yes that was truly awesome, and I thank you for linking that video. Now I just need the name of that song that was playing...

Anima might be the scariest thing I have ever seen.
I love it.

holy shit son that was so fucking badass. I never play the mmo versions of final fantasy, but that is epic cinematic quality...the music went perfectly with that.


OT: well everything has been mentioned mostly...so I'll go a little bit off beat

I enjoyed FFXII's quickenings (even if I didn't quite understand them at the time lol)


this chocobo gets its shit wrecked.

I've always been partial to Tonberry and Cactuar from FFVIII; I loved how funny they could be, especially since you essentially beat them into a weaker form before you can use them.

No one has mentioned Atomos? The cutscene where he eats part of a city in FFIX is one of my favorite cutscenes in the game; all the better since they showed what could really happen if you used one of those all-powerful summons. "I've just been using that thing to gnaw on a couple of enemies when I could've just fed him the whole dungeon?! Dammit."

A lot of people dislike his chubbiness. I like it. Like I said, the 14 versions of the summons are the perfect realization of their PS1 era concepts.

Fun stuff, those symbols they use to try to hold him back are the power of the gods of that world and it tore their strength aside like tissue. Before that his prison was the world's second moon.

As for the song, I think it's called Walk Free or Answers.

Mine has to be Choco/Mog from VII.

Their failed attempt at a kamikaze attack (The failure is that they both inevitably survive it) provides a welcome touch of comedy in an otherwise intense boss fight, and their considerable chance of temporarily stunning the enemy means that they remain useful long past the point where their base damage seizes to make much difference.

There is also the fact that, once in a blue moon - usually about twice during an average playthrough - it won't be Choco and Mog who show up to save the day. It will be Fat Chocobo, descending from the heavens ass first and leaving all the work to gravity.

I'll never forget the time that happened while I was fighting Yuffie. "I'm an awesome ninja! Your materia belongs to ME! FEAR ME!" And then the sky darkens, and WHAM! Next thing I know, the entire screen is taken up by a morbidly obese Chocobo with an expression of solemn dignity and an assful of wannabe ninja bimbo. That was probably the biggest laugh I ever got from that game.

I dare only whisper his name... Yojimbo...

Ifrit from FFX because he looks so badass coming from the depths of the earth and when he performs overdrive at the end of it he rips a piece of land and throws it at the enemy.
