When it first came out I was like: OH HELL NO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! SUMMONS ARE ORGANIC BEINGS NOT SOMETHING LIKE TRANSFORMER SHIT. Then I was ok with it after sometime. Though the story how they got them still sucks and kinda forced.
lightning has an awesome horse snow has a cool motorcycle (no pun intended) fang has a badass dragon sazh has a hot kart (pun intended) vanille has a weird twin headed machine-gun with legs and hope has a wall... a fucking wall!!!
zorohibiki I believe Vanille is supposed to be based on a a dreadnought of some kind img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140221223113/finalfantasy/images/b/b9/Dreadnought_FFXIII_Enemy.png
I wish I had my own Eidolon. I'd have Leviathan turn into a freakin' surfboard that gushes out water!! Whooosh~! But that's what fanfictions are for x3
+StarBlade Buster But I was imagining something more like a big blue snake-bodied monster that would turn into something more stable for me not to fall when it attacks. And the final shot would be like : 1st option : an enormous hydroblast 2nd option : blue columns surrounding the enemy and gathering until it splashes in the enemy's face
Lou Jam I'm actually doing a stats and moveset for Leviathan. And I'm having a friend design it when I have the chance too. Its gonna be like a surfboard with a wind-sail to keep balance. He would have the moves [Water Rush], which is a pulsing charge forward. [Aqua Pulse] which is a kickflip with water jetting out to attack enemies from front and back. [Torpedo Rise] which is a somersault attack upfront and [Raging Waves] which stomps the ground and makes waves attack around Leviathan. And his Lv 3 tech is Tsunami, which is a large pillar of water being sliced down from the top to rave on all the enemies and flood the battlefield.
Summons were pretty strong in this game, they gave your party a full res and full healed as well. It's too bad that after you used all their gestalt the stagger meter restarts at 0 afterwards
I thought Hope's summons attacks looked REALLY neat, but man they just didn't do crap for damage. Personally, it seemed like Vanille and Fang's summons did the most damage
Why's it ridiculous if he needs the most help? Besides it's a recurring theme in the Final Fantasy series - the little guy holds the strongest hidden power!
@@lumberluc and also very weak he used to be the ultimate summon of ff3-5 now there is always an exclusive summon in ff thats stronger than him like knights of the round and anima
Bogyman the dark I kinda like the exclusive summons, bahamut is almost in every ff game, summoning bahamut,shiva and ifrit is like beating a dead horse at this point
+fLux _ and I miss when final fantasy games were actually fun to play 13 was a disappointment 14 is an mmorpg (need I say more) I hope 15 is at least half way decent trailers look awesome but I'm not expecting much
I went with Lightning, Fang and Vanille, controlling Lightning as a Ravager most of the time, occasionally switching to Fang. Oddly, controlling Vanille seems to draw way too much aggro and the monsters constantly interrupted my casting :/ On my first playthrough, I played Lightning, Vanille and Hope and it was a surprisingly powerful team... however, I can't bring myself to use Snow and Sazh, they just feel too weak.
I'd say Lightning, Vanille and Fang's gestalt mode summon are the best due to attack homing in on enemies. Poor Alexander's gestalt mode's first attack is super terrible, 100% miss rate hahaha
Wall with cannons and makes large ass explosions. I think that's pretty damn good, especially how hard he was to get. Besides, did anyone expect Hope to get something as big as Alexander?
Gawd this game was a nightmare grind. I couldn't get past Hope's Eidolon battle before becoming too ill to play anymore. Yup you read right: the game made me PHYSICALLY ILL!
Seeing these scenes is really beautiful and all, but the moment I saw these summons become horses, walls, motorcycles and shit like that, I lost it. Not to mention these summons are so useless damage-wise that you're better off without them.
Totally agree with you! In fact, I wished Squaresoft never ceased to exist... I LOVE FFIV remake and the After Years for example. Also the oldest Final Fantasy series up to VII. I loved IX too and VIII a tad less but still good. In fact the very moment when it became Square Enix things aren't really that what "Final Fantasy" truly stands for. A tale of LOVE, COMPASSION and EMPATHY fired up with beautiful music (which became a lot less good as well). I wish these old days can come back. I want a story again with true meaning , not some Transformer like action based killing game.
@@TerranObserver i actually kinda like the transformers summons but i agree with you the day they became square-enix shit went down hill but atleast they still have some games that still stands for them like kingdom hearts
12aSHE you're kinda right they dont do a lot of damage but Lightning's summon Odin ( my fav summon) can make the enemy stagger quickly which gives us the opportunity to lower our enemies health.
Fav character is Vanillie by far but favorite Aeon (i know their Eidolons) but Aeon just sounds more right to me.... fave Eidolon is Lightning's Odin followed by Shiva sister's who are in tie with Bahamut
When I go Commando, I always pick Fang (she's the strongest) or Lightning (I just love that girl). Blitz is pretty awesome, but I don't want to spam it all the time (feels cheap), and Sazh's other attack animations are painfully long :/ Besides, his stats are the worst in the game (around 1/2 of the other characters'), I guess that's why I always pick Vanille or Lightning as Ravagers. And I even made Lightning and Fang into awesome Synergists when going gets tough :D
Square, what the hell is this?? Final Fantasy or Transformer?? What happen to the Summons?? Odin is ride the horse, not the horse itself! Shiva is a twin and become a Motorcycle?? And why the hell Bahamut become a Megatron??? Just WHY??? :'(
So now you summon a transformer, a bike, a plane a castle, I almost expected to see optimus prime. Miss the old kick ass summons and miss the old Final Fantasy from SquareSoft.
Am i the only one who just play the whole game only with Hope Light and Fang and hope was fhe Leader he is reeeeaaaallly strong and i just like his desing
My favorites are the Shiva Sisters and Odin since IMO it's an out-of-the-box idea for Snow to have a twin summon instead of the usual single summon and they combine into a cool motorcycle. Odin is one of the more aggressive summons and he randomly spurts roses all around lol. And Hecatoncheir's final attack is so explosive it made Vanille came IYKWIM :P
so, what's your team? i play: snow/fang/light com/com/rav rav/sab/rav com/sen/med played the whole chapter 11 and did untill mission 28 with this formation
Man, these thing sure seem horribly weak. You'd think those big finishing moves would finish off your average random encounter, but most of the enemy seem at beast to be slightly inconvenience. Or have I completely misunderstood the tactical value behind these things?
dethkruzer if i remember correctly, summons are best used during boss fights to heal/revive party. It feels like they do more damage against bosses, too. Dunno, been a few years since i last played.
Look at the amazingly beautiful summons which then transform into the weirdest shit with the lamest attacks with a finisher that is just a flash of light like wtf developers what is this?
lightning has a horse snow has a motorcicle sazh has a mario kart fang has a dragon vanille has a ...strange thing with two drills instead of a head and hope has a wall ¬¬
Or that one time that Vanille and Sazh were in the Vile Peaks and Vanille was climbing a ledge, and Sazh looked at the wrong moment and almost saw her vajayjay. But the the Chocobo Chick was like: Nope. and essentialy attacked Sazh's face.
I really hate the vanille eidolon cause he was the hardest to beat. but in the dog machine gun or whatever is really cool and the fang eidolon is really good too shame square enix did not make those toys only the odin and the shivas twins

So summons are transformers now? That's actually kinda badass.
+1974Teebone Eidolons, roll out! *Tranformer's transforming sound effects*
go go power rangers
When it first came out I was like: OH HELL NO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! SUMMONS ARE ORGANIC BEINGS NOT SOMETHING LIKE TRANSFORMER SHIT. Then I was ok with it after sometime. Though the story how they got them still sucks and kinda forced.
They're the only good thing about this game
a trick: you can watch series on flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.
EIDOLONS!
More than meets the eye!
Eidolons!
l'Cie...bots wage their battle to destroy
The evil forces of Fal'Cie-epticons!
why are you not famous
For a parody that could work
lightning has an awesome horse
snow has a cool motorcycle (no pun intended)
fang has a badass dragon
sazh has a hot kart (pun intended)
vanille has a weird twin headed machine-gun with legs
and hope has a wall... a fucking wall!!!
zorohibiki I believe Vanille is supposed to be based on a a dreadnought of some kind img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140221223113/finalfantasy/images/b/b9/Dreadnought_FFXIII_Enemy.png
+zorohibiki Hope's Alexander is actually based on a castle wall... a high-tech castle wall!
In a way it makes sense though, Alexander has always been the moving fortress. Still does seem lame though
A Hogwarts wall.
Mexican wall
I love how the Shiva sisters essentially scissor when they become the motorcycle.
Pervert
Transformers, summons in disguise.
6:17 Bahamut: "Where is the cube?"
Fang: "The Fal'Cie have taken it."
Bahamut: "You fail me yet again, Starsc- I mean Fang. GET THEM!"
I wish I had my own Eidolon. I'd have Leviathan turn into a freakin' surfboard that gushes out water!! Whooosh~! But that's what fanfictions are for x3
+StarBlade Buster This comment could have been mine exactly. Same wish, same name O_o I am so damn fond of water-type attacks and stuff :x
+StarBlade Buster But I was imagining something more like a big blue snake-bodied monster that would turn into something more stable for me not to fall when it attacks. And the final shot would be like :
1st option : an enormous hydroblast

Very nice, haha. Especially the final one.
Lou Jam
Thanks, I put a lot of thought into it.

SHIVA! (and your sister, I guess)
3s7acad0 to be fair this shiva is two separate entities stiria and nix.
Did Sazh fall to the ground at 5:27 lol ?
yes lol
Chucked out of the driver seat
I thought Hope's summons attacks looked REALLY neat, but man they just didn't do crap for damage.
Personally, it seemed like Vanille and Fang's summons did the most damage
I think its something like a fortress, an impenatrable wall. I read somewhere that sometimes Alexander is called " The Living Fortress " :)
In FF8 Alexander is literally just a big castle that magically murders your enemies with holy
Why's it ridiculous if he needs the most help? Besides it's a recurring theme in the Final Fantasy series - the little guy holds the strongest hidden power!
That moment when Light summons Odin is just epic, but the sound he makes while coming down to the ground just doesn't fit..
When they made the ff13 summons they really went into crazy ideas
They work quite good honestly
*Hope starts summoning*
Me: Aww, so shota >u<
*Hope goes into EPIC MODE*
Me: HOLY SHIT, A FUCKING FORTRESS?!
*Hope summons Eidolon Alexander*
*Alexander and Hope form Gestalt Mode*
*Alexander fires a shitload of lasers*
*Misses*
Oh Hope.... ._.
Practically all his attacks miss or don’t do enough damage.
Sazh's Eidolon summon sounded alot like Yu-Gi-Oh...
Y'know, "I summon" blah blah?
Soo true. If he would've said "ur move" I'd b 2 thru
Bahamut has changed since FFX
Very shiny.
@@lumberluc and also very weak he used to be the ultimate summon of ff3-5 now there is always an exclusive summon in ff thats stronger than him like knights of the round and anima
Bogyman the dark I kinda like the exclusive summons, bahamut is almost in every ff game, summoning bahamut,shiva and ifrit is like beating a dead horse at this point
BEST IS VANILLES ESPER HEKETONCHEIR FTW !!!
just the best esper because its vanilles esper AND too cool moves
Bitch climaxing and the end
Alexander was my fave. big guy could become a row of guns for god sake!
Best summons from all the FF games I played... FFX's aeons! Ah how I miss you Anima.
+fLux _ and I miss when final fantasy games were actually fun to play 13 was a disappointment 14 is an mmorpg (need I say more) I hope 15 is at least half way decent trailers look awesome but I'm not expecting much
+fLux _ final fantasyX is y favourite FF i My favourite aeons was the first one
I went with Lightning, Fang and Vanille, controlling Lightning as a Ravager most of the time, occasionally switching to Fang. Oddly, controlling Vanille seems to draw way too much aggro and the monsters constantly interrupted my casting :/

FF XIII Alexander: ...meh 😒
FF Type 0 Alexander: Pray for forgiveness, but it won't help you anymore 🙌🏼
The cost to summon type 0 Alexander is frightening enough let alone when it's on a battlefield.
Thx so much for the Eidolons! I love them! They are pretty strong and just great!!!!!!!
Hope's and Sazh's were the coolest imo
10:45 = Vanilla Determination Eyes ! She look like a kid getting a new toy when Hecatoncheir turn into Gestalt mode, So cute :D
Gawd this game was a nightmare grind. I couldn't get past Hope's Eidolon battle before becoming too ill to play anymore. Yup you read right: the game made me PHYSICALLY ILL!
IMA A WALL OFLAZERS THAT MISS ALLTIME
Snow Perri I like to think Alexander went to the Stormtrooper school of hitting things...
I like how Hope’s is a Golem turned fucking CASTLE WALL
I had a feeling the edilons damage is based on the strength of your character and weps
The only Eidolon that doesn't change into a means of transport, even though I don't know what Ecatoncheir turns to.
Seeing these scenes is really beautiful and all, but the moment I saw these summons become horses, walls, motorcycles and shit like that, I lost it.
Not to mention these summons are so useless damage-wise that you're better off without them.

A tale of love, compassion, and empathy?
There is far more of that in FFXIII then in most FF titles.
12aSHE you're kinda right they dont do a lot of damage but Lightning's summon Odin ( my fav summon) can make the enemy stagger quickly which gives us the opportunity to lower our enemies health.
I want Odin and a Bahamut plushie 🥺❤️
Fav character is Vanillie by far but favorite Aeon (i know their Eidolons) but Aeon just sounds more right to me.... fave Eidolon is Lightning's Odin followed by Shiva sister's who are in tie with Bahamut
LOL Alexander's Purification missed completely
maybe the fact of her rod having those many tenticle like things to attack and hecatonchier has many arms
agreed,let's hope for the best in the future
I love Odin's gestalt mode!
When I go Commando, I always pick Fang (she's the strongest) or Lightning (I just love that girl). Blitz is pretty awesome, but I don't want to spam it all the time (feels cheap), and Sazh's other attack animations are painfully long :/ Besides, his stats are the worst in the game (around 1/2 of the other characters'), I guess that's why I always pick Vanille or Lightning as Ravagers.
And I even made Lightning and Fang into awesome Synergists when going gets tough :D
Square, what the hell is this?? Final Fantasy or Transformer??
What happen to the Summons?? Odin is ride the horse, not the horse itself! Shiva is a twin and become a Motorcycle?? And why the hell Bahamut become a Megatron???
Just WHY??? :'(
Because it's awesome, that's why.
There taking a new step toward industry, and it WORKED! WHO DOESNT WANT TRANSFORMING SUMMONS!?
Idk maybe cos they're in a fucking futuristic world
So now you summon a transformer, a bike, a plane a castle, I almost expected to see optimus prime. Miss the old kick ass summons and miss the old Final Fantasy from SquareSoft.
***** ^ this is why i youtube
That's the saddest part, these WERE kickass. They were wasted on a game with no thought put into ANY aspect of its creation, is the issue.
Vanille's eidolon reminds me of rikku's special dressphere in ffx-2...
Heckaton..... As in Greek myth hecatoncaries the 100 armed cousins of the Titans?
The enemies just eccepting the attacks while in gestalt mode, iguess they are too amazed by the glory to do anything.
Persona 4 looks very different 👀
Damn alexander got thar helen keller aim
BRUH LMFAO I SPIT UP MY COFFEE LAUGHING AT THAT
My Ediolin will be tiamat(despite tiamat not being a summon before)and his gesult mode will be a tank
Am I the only one who thinks the theme of Transformers when the Summons go Gestalt Mode?
Am I the only one who can't help but to hear the transformers in my head when I see these summons?
Atleast Hope's eidolon isn't a vehicle lol
transformers more than meets the eye!
transformers robots in the sky!
that tune just keeps on playing in mai head :D
Why did Alexander do nothing?
Also, are these summons bio-mechanical? Their transformations make it look like they are.
So some of these are mmm lude yah? I'm looking at you Snow and Vanille~
Aren't there like multiple button press moves to make them stronger?
Now I kinda wish Serah had a eidolon, it would have been pretty cool to see hers
According to FF Wiki it's a variant of Magiteck Armor.
thanks. It was the only Gestalt I couldn't figure out (like everyone I guess)
Am i the only one who just play the whole game only with Hope Light and Fang and hope was fhe Leader he is reeeeaaaallly strong and i just like his desing
My favorites are the Shiva Sisters and Odin since IMO it's an out-of-the-box idea for Snow to have a twin summon instead of the usual single summon and they combine into a cool motorcycle. Odin is one of the more aggressive summons and he randomly spurts roses all around lol.
And Hecatoncheir's final attack is so explosive it made Vanille came IYKWIM :P
+kyrios0307 What's IYKWIM? If you know what I mean?
Der Moment, wenn man beim Esperruf von Hecatoncher merkt, dass man zu viele Schildkröten gekillt hat.
so, what's your team? i play:
snow/fang/light
com/com/rav
rav/sab/rav
com/sen/med
played the whole chapter 11 and did untill mission 28 with this formation
My party always consisted of Lightning, Vanille and Fang.
I really never understood the combat in ff13 so much damage yet so much health
Odin is one sick Eidolon.
they are ice...his name is snow...put 2 and 2 together
Last time I checked Magitek Armor didn't look like that :/ However, it seems you know what you are talking about.
DAMNNN, ALEXANDER IS A THICC BOI
With all those hands, its no surprise ;)
I love Alexander the most fer some reason
after watching this video it's no wonder I never picked up ffxIII. Square basically turned summons into Michael Bays transformers.
Summons are pretty cool in this game, I admit that.
Man, these thing sure seem horribly weak. You'd think those big finishing moves would finish off your average random encounter, but most of the enemy seem at beast to be slightly inconvenience. Or have I completely misunderstood the tactical value behind these things?

lightning has a horse
snow has a motorcicle
sazh has a mario kart
fang has a dragon
vanille has a ...strange thing with two drills instead of a head
and hope has a wall ¬¬
Like the most weanie character is going to go ham on everyone?
The Eidolons are badass deities!
They're different than the Aeons from Final Fantasy X and X-2!
And they can transform like the Transformers.
yeah the transformers are cool but i just finished the game (2017 a bit late) kept going and ended the game before reazlized i didnt use all of them
08:21
ಠ_ಠ
you missed stationary targets
am i the only one who was like TRANSFORMERS! MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!
What would gestalt knight of the round from 7 look like
This is like a combination of Transformers and Digimon.
BTW a little help...what does Alexander transform into?
@yohan109 Big deal. Then, How do you explain Princess Vespa from SpaceBalls?
Wait a sec, what forms Raiden then!? Do all 6 Eidolons combine?
Hope : Alexander!!!!
*sigh. only Hope's summon would have such a name
in the game I've never used them... magic is everything except with some specific enemies...
I wonder what Serah's Eidolon is. Mothra maybe?
bahamut has always had the best intro's
Yeah, right, give to badass Lightning a pony and to innocent Vanille a pair of machine guns
Or any time Vanille gets hit in battle.
Or that one time that Vanille and Sazh were in the Vile Peaks and Vanille was climbing a ledge, and Sazh looked at the wrong moment and almost saw her vajayjay. But the the Chocobo Chick was like: Nope. and essentialy attacked Sazh's face.
were they all the same level? because if so thats really sad how weak it is
Can the summons act alone or only after they transform in vehicle mode?
i can only imagine what vanille and her eidolon do in their free time...
I really hate the vanille eidolon cause he was the hardest to beat. but in the dog machine gun or whatever is really cool and the fang eidolon is really good too shame square enix did not make those toys only the odin and the shivas twins
It looks like it should do the most too.
Well, Fang's eidolon is Bahamut, remember?
So Vanilles summon is a tentacle monster...
@dudeglove Oh and nicely put together, derf.
