The summon's stories

[Nbotff]

Hey guys, just been thinking about the summons in final fantasy. There are loads of them of course... but i was thinking about origin stories for them.

for example... in ff8 Ifrit is in that volcano as part of the seed exam that volcano is where he comes from for the other games.

in ff9 Alexander is in the city alexandria and was first summoned to protect it.

in ff10 anima comes from seymours mother becoming a fayth.

what other origins are there in the final fantasy universe for the summons. I can only think of three lol i want to hear some more. Forget logic lol.

thanx xxx

They all do come from different environments, especially the traditional FF summons such as Ifrit and Shiva, but I don't think it's relevant to all. But I think the art designers decide on a suitable place for them. For instance all Aeons in FFX come from temples, some look different though most notably Macalania's temple (Shiva) where Shiva is acquired. Wherever Shiva,Ifrit,Ramuh,Bahamut etc are found it's possible it's in an environment where they are suited to.

Yes i agree. In some of the games they design the world around the summons i think. FF 10 deffinatly had a role in that because of the pilgrimage. ff12 had defferent dungeons for the summons too.

I just like how every now and again i come across an area that i think the summon most fits into that environment and it sort of sticks. like i said the volcano for ifrit in 8 was his best apprence i think. And like you said Shiva in 10 or alexander in 9. The locations they were in, in those games were the best so far i think xx
