Favorite Designs of Summons/Monsters

Mine was Odin in FFVII.

Something about that Summon that I really liked, and I still love watching the little scene, while most of the time, I rather do damage, and skip the scenes. :wacky:

So I'll have to say it's Odin for me.
 
let's see...it'd have to be Alexander from FFXIII. he finally has a more human-like appearance and then becomes a castle in his Gestalt mode. He's a classic summon with a very nice modern twist
 
I'll post for one monster for now.

I'll agree that the behemoth in FFX was perhaps the scariest and most imposing as it was huge. I didn't like that it stood upright on hind legs as much though (but I guess this was largely responsible for the effect it left), even though I guess it did get onto all fours at times, and other behemoths had been seen to stand upright too. I can't remember much about how it felt fighting behemoths in other games... They were usually powerful creatures in battle, but I think FFX's behemoth really terrified me on appearance alone more than the others.

I've just viewed FFXI's behemoth on FF wikia... I never met one during my time on Vana'diel but it looks quite different from most behemoths and I quite like it. It looks like a traditional behemoth but black and faint purple. It's a goth-behemoth perhaps. :hmmm: I'll still say FFX's was my favourite but this is quite refreshing to see too.

i would have to say Knights or the Round from FFVII...

Mod Edit: Please try and put a bit more effort into your posts. Tell us why you like the design of this particular summon. Thanks. :)

Sorry...I like it because its the Final Summon for the game and the fact that 13 Knights appear and take non-elemental damage. Its a pity that they are not in any of the Final Fantasys anymore :(

Bahamut FFVIII was my fave Summon and still is.

I also like Diablos its a shame S-E has not put him in more games

as far as monsters go the Behemoths fromFFXIII caught my eye recently
but IMO SQAURE never really creates a bad monster line-up they just mess up the summons sometimes not much just a little
 
I agree with the thread starter on Bahamut in FFX. I also think X has the best version of Shiva (she looks bloody amazing/awesome).

There is something about Valefor, maybe being Yuna's first aeon, that warms me to her.

Anima is also aweeeeeeeesome.

X pretty much takes the cake of design IMO.
 
All of the aeons in X are quite nice. I like Anima and Yojimbo because they were a nice change from the recurring ones. They were original designs, too.

My favourite recurring ones would be Bahamut (I like his design in IX the most, I think. I don't know why) and Shiva. Bahamut also looks amazing in Crisis Core because of the amazing graphics of that game. My favourite Shiva designs are VIII and X. There's something about her in VIII that makes me like her more than in VII or IX (in VII her graphics really weren't the best!). I like X's Shiva because looks the best, but that's obviously because of the vastly improved graphics compared to the PS1 FFs.

In terms of monster designs... :hmmm: Well the behemoth in X looks awesome, as people have already mentioned. I don't know why but I'm struggling to think of any that really caught my eye...
 
FFX has IMO the best looking summons yes.

Favorite Monster designs : Tonberry (little but lethal) Marlboro (as disgusting as it looks) lol Cactuar (seems weak but also their needles are brutal)

I like the Ultima Buster from FFX, the head moves suspicious creature ;)
 
Bahamut FFVIII for me as of now is the best design/summon sequence, actually I rather enjoyed all the summons appearence and summon sequence from this game.
I tend to like the summons in the Tactics series as well..I think im rather old school in this regard
Hmmm I actually Like the gelatin monsters I just think they always look funny after you hit them no matter the game. they are the first monsters I look forward to seeing even if they annoy me sometimes
 
Leviathan because he looked like a Chinese dragon XD. And I liked his water attack.

Also Ifrit. He just looks cool :) and he looks somewhat soft and cuddly if you ignore the flames.

And behemoth, because they look extremely powerful and a little scary in some games.
 
My favorite summon design has to be Shiva in FFX. I loved how graceful she looked and her summon sequence was just amazing. I also liked her attack sequence for Diamond Dust too.<3

I also loved the Magus Sisters designs in FFX with the whole bug costumes. I thought they were cute and unique. I really wish they would appear in more FF games.

As for favorite monster designs, I say the Cactuar, Tonberry and FFX's Behemoth like everyone else already mentioned.
 
fft zodiac/zodiark looks like a serpent with angel wings and strongest summon in the game
