Lightning Summons

Why does the lighting Summon change within each and every game? Can't they not kept just one and leave it at that?

Shiva, Ifrit, Bahamut are in alot of the FF games. =/.

Bahamut is a Non-element Summon unless he is Lightning within a game I have not played.

There might be a lighting-based Bahamut in Bahamut Lagoon, but in FFs he's always been non-elemental.

I'm perfectly happy with Ramuh. Old sage/god of lighting has always seemed pretty cool to me, i dont understand why SE feels the need to change the lighting summon.

Quezacotl looked like crap, and Ixion is just lame. Not to mention that even though it's a horse it looks like a damned goat.

LOL! A goat? haha. I liked Ixion. I thought it was better than Ramuh. Also, Quezocotl looked like a giant blob. Ugh.

Ramuh I thought was the best version of the Lightning summon. I mean, Quezacotl was almost the epitome of lightning, but Ramuh's just....good. That's all I can say about it, because I've always like Ramuh's summon.

And Ixion...no, not Ixion. XD

I'm not sure...I'm positive that Ramuh has appeared in more than one FF game...hasn't he? I do wish that Ramuh would make a return as the primary lightning summon. He is among my favorites. ^.^
