Maybe not though, many summons have their appearence altered to fit the game - Bahamut is the most obvious example of this.

They could radically alter anima and give her a whole new backstory - the fact is she'd still be Anima as long as she essentially had the same abilites.

and VR, i ninja'd you gurd

They wouldn't have to keep the same design - none of them do. Take Shiva, for example, who continues to lose another garment of clothing as the titles progress, and Bahamut who, at one point, had three different designs in one game.

I don't know that they'll bring Anima back. I think she was more of a plot device for FFX. And they have so many more summons to choose from. There are several others that have only appeared in only one or two games. (Remora, Ashura, Stray).

I would personally like to see Terra as a summon in a future game.

Hrmm...Well, I liked Bahamut's design in X. O_O!

As for Anima, she would have to loose the chains, right? I mean, since she wouldn't be connected to Seymour anymore. lol.

I thought bahamut looked like a lion on an acid trip. I still used him anyway cuz he was strong though.

Nah, she could have chains, they'd just use her design but completely disconnect her from IX. It's like throwing Cid in every game, he's disconnected from every previous Cid.

I see. Well, Cid is always changing in appearance during every game.

I can see them bringing Anima back, though I don't think it'll look quite as cool as it did n FFX, but it seemed pretty popular in X so I don't see why it couldn't make another appearance

I can only see Anima appearing in X's variations, personally. The only reason Shiva, Ifrit, and Bahamut were in so many games was because they eventually (and somehow...) became trademark monsters within the series. Anima's powerful, but I think they should leave her as an exclusive.

Anima didn't have the chains because it was connected to Seymour. =/ They were just a little extra to her appearance, which, one presumes, restricts her/it's immense power.
