did you ever use eidolons?

I think FF9 was the game where I used eidolons the least. they just didnt do it for me and the damage they do is not really all that good. Which is ridiculous since they destroyed cities when used by Kuja.

The only eidolons i thought were helpful were the phoenix one because it revived the ko'ed party members.

Not unless Garnets drive was on full, which wasn't often, I didn't use her much.
I really liked the animations though, but apart from that I only really used Carbuncle untill I had auto reflect and auto haste on my main characters.
Madeen and Fenrir's full animations were so cool.

I used them a lot, I found them pretty useful. Escpecially Phoenix and Bahamut, they really helped me out.

I didn't find them that useful near the end of the game. It's probably because I'm leveling up my characters to level 99. I only used them when I was weak, and in intense, near death situations.

Phoenix rocks bcoz it revives dead characters and deals damage. Wow.... On of the most useful eidolons.

I noticed that to the first time i played the game i didnt use edilions at all, but ive used bahamut lots of times

I often use Bahamut

Kinyoto · 08-10-2006, 10:03 PM

Yeah I used them. I didn't use any of Eikos though. Cause I don't like her. I got ARK and it was really good! So was Bahamut (of course) but alot of others where too.

DragonHeart · 08-11-2006, 03:43 AM

I used Odin a lot when I didn't feel like fighting anything.

Other than that I used Bahamut the most and Leviathan occasionally. The few times Eiko was in my party I'd use Fenrir but I don't really have her around, ever. I think I used Madeen like once, don't really remember though.

It's not that I didn't like the Eidolons, I just had better things to do than summon them all the time.

I never used Eidolons, I only used a few now and then but not regulary and most of the time I never used them even in Boss Battles, just plain attacks got me through, I only used Eiko and Dagger for Curaga and the vital White Mage spells.

Kamdrik · 08-11-2006, 04:13 AM

yeah i used eidlons, quite lot actually! i know it didn't do much but i used Atmos quite alot, its my favourite!

Kyle · 08-11-2006, 07:17 AM

Only during one boss fight.

I used them against that one boss where you deactivate all it's special upgrades(which I thankfully took out). I really needed to use my eidolons in that battle b/c I fought it with my weakest characters b/c Zidane, Vivi, and Steiner were gone for sure on that good 'ol Oeilevert trip.

Other than that, never used them.

Hyzenthlay · 08-12-2006, 05:16 AM

I used Eidolons, you guys are insane, you forget Ark, he was the best Eidolon and kicks the s**t outa alot of things if u use it alot. Bahmut is cool when you first get him, i mainly used them for the cutscenes tho... but still garnet was a cool char, but WHERE WAS THE ROMANCE PEOPLE!? Why doesnt anyone EVER get together in Final Fantasys, its so crazy.

Big Pája · 09-16-2006, 01:31 AM

I think there must be something wrong with me but the only game in which I really used summons in battle to aid me, was in FFX on my first playthrough. In all the other FF games I played (I, II, IV-IX, all on PlayStation) I used summons only once or twice to see their animations. I always got by without their help.
