I only really use Ark.... but I only really use him on the final battle..... I get by fine without them on 9, which is why I think it's one of the best

I used only one. Ark. Ark was like.....crossing bahamut zero from FF7 and Sephiroths "Super Nova" attack....and making it into a summon. It was such a beast.

yeah I mostly just used the eidolons at lower levels when I was getting beat by things like mandragoras. Shiva sure did come in handy against them Other than that Phoenix, Ark, and Bahamut are really the only ones worth mentioning. The others can be outdamaged by Vivi's spells no problem.

I think like everyone else said..i rarely if ever used eidolons. I think I used them to see what they look like..but i never actually HAD to use them, they were pretty weak.

No I didn't use Eidolons, I didn't need to because my Steiner and Freya were strong enough anyway.

The animations were cool for summoning them were mega cool, I liked Atomos. This big mouth thing, whatever it was it was cool.

I reckon Odin was a bit of a let down though but they were cool.

No, But not because they are crap. The reason I did'nt use my Eidolons is that I wanted to keep them in their so called 'Perfect' status (You see the entire summon entrance). This is the problem with being a perfectionist.

I use eidolons, but only when I'm power-leveling thus fighting a lot or when I can't be bothered with actually fighting, I just summon and finish the battle in a second.

I do use Carbuncle fairly often, though, I always find it useful.

I never really used them in normal run-of-the-mill battles, but I did however use them later on. Foes like Behemoth needed to be taken out swiftly through fear of Meteor, so Blizzaga and trusty Shiva were at hand.

So yeah, in tough battles and boss fights. Mainly for elemental weaknesses, otherwise I'm Bahamut and Ark all the way.

I use eidolons quite a bit actually just cuz they seem to do mass ammounts of damage, when ur at certain parts in the game, it does get annoying having to consume that much mp though especially since Ethers are so scarse in that game!
