Yojimbo was my favorite, followed by Bahamut

Also, Ifrit who is missing.

I like Yojimbo's a lot. Those cherry blossoms, the music, that "yo". He knows what's up.

My nominations yesterday were Odin (FF4), KotR (FF7), and Anima (FF10).

But if were getting a generic Bahamut for the overall series, that easily wins my vote.

I chose doomtrain because it is excessively useful. My favorite is probably one of the more classic ones like ifrit, bahamut, or Shiva.

No wait its probably alexander.

Bahamut is too iconic and powerful.

Shiva/Ifrit/Ramuh and kinda Titan are too to a lesser extent but less powerful. Odin is pretty iconic across the series and Yojimbo is a thing, but I don't think as popular.

Maybe Zodiark will get a chance to shine in FFXIV. Special mention to Alexander in that regard though.

Funny part is, on that round, it won via the "other" category. It didn't even make the list.

I'd say that seals the deal. Granted it was my own fault for not putting into the list (there was no nomination topic), but everyone was like "Great crystal, fuck that shit"

that's weird, why do you think everyone hated it? it was kinda confusing sure but it was so pretty and the monsters were great. i thought raithwall was more annoying, or even pharos but pharos was actually challenging unlike raithwall with suicide bombs everywhere and the dumb wall opponent

Voted Doomtrain. No regrets.

Aside from being cool as fuck, its attack is a powered up version of the annoying Malboro Bad Breath combined with the Meltdown spell. Being able to refine permanent stat boosting items with its Forbid Med-RF ability is also very nice.

Why is it that he can hit a 3rd baseman on a frozen rope from 300 feet away, but he can't hit a 12 foot tall catcher from 60 feet 6 inches away?

Pharos did make the list.

I think people hated it because it was so confusing. Was extremely difficult to navigate without a guide.

at the very least the non-lit and the icey dungeons in the older games were way more frustrating

I will always remember Diabolos from FF8. Every time I summoned it I was listening to For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica. Seemed to fit together well.

Wake up. You have to wake up. *currently a preta/hungry ghost*

I mean, Alexander was completely useless in FF7 to be fair.

Ehh he did Holy damage. No more useful than the other summons at that point.

Although imo, all summons except hades and KOTR were useless in FF7. I guess 20 playthroughs will do that to you lol

If the poll would include all Bahamuts rather than just summons, I think Id go with FF1. If it was limited to summons, Id go with FF4, since you need to fight him to acquire him.
