Anyone else dissapointed with the small selection of Aeons?

Basically what the title says, was anyone else dissapointed that there were only 5 mandatory aeons?

All together there were 8 - or 10 if your picky.

Mandatory

Valefor
Ifrit
Ixion
Shiva
Bahamut

NOT Mandatory

Yojimbo
Anima
The Magus sisters

I found myself wishing there were more Aeons - espicially after playing the earlier FFs - i wished there could be more Aeons - Leviathon, Odin. Ramuh etc. and i was dissapointed that in a game focusing on the summons only had 10.

What did you think?

You're right...there weren't many, but I was relatively satisfied with the selection.
I wasn't impressed with the hidden locations on the map though...omega dungeon was like the only worthwhile sidequest which was hidden on the map. o__o

The Aeons didn't really dissapoint me in this game. I just didn't like the way Bahamut looked. I've always liked him big & larger than life (FF9's Bahamut was my fave).

I think that there was a good amount of Aeons in the game. But I see where you coming from with all the other FF having a larger amount of summons

FFVII had a pretty nice hefty selection of summons.
But 8 suits this story just fine. <3

I think that, considering the way the aeons are formed, they could have been a little better in their choice. Ixion should've been Ramuh, largely because he IS A PERSON and the aeons are dead summoners. Also, Alexander would've been an obvious choice, but i would have definitlety put in a holy summon. Maybe Yunalesca would've been more pertininent. I hate the humanoid version of Bahamut though. In every other FF he is a "dragon with wings".

Lol Yeah. I liked the cute summons before.

FFX had very few summons, but they were powerul nonetheless.
