Summons have never been necessary, just a fun factor or convenience. Only time they were really useful was in FFVIII b/c they determined what stats you could junction.

They were needed to beat Ruby Weapon in VII and were needed to beat a lot of bosses in X

They were not needed to beat the Ruby Weapon and not even close to needed in FFX.

Agreed with LOM, although the Magus Sisters, after you power them up to deal close to 99999 damage owned, espicially with Passado (Or as I now call it, 99999-ado)

You forget FFVI, my good Kyros.

[Ouch!]

While summons may not always have a necessary function in battle, they frequently have significance to the game's plot (FFVI, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII), so I expect that while you may be able to avoid them in combat, the transformation aspect will be unavoidable throughout the natural progression of the game.

I'll just reword it, they were never needed in combat ever.

FFX I guess is where they were most convenient from what I've played and by "they" I mean Anima hitting 2034873057084706 times for 99,999 and letting me be lazy by not having to sit there and push buttons to tell Tidus to use hit quick hit over and over till the enemy died.

Also, screw Ruby Weapon b/c he was a waste of time that gave you a crap reward. I already had a gold chocobo whose stats were tons better than this one and who was undefeated with probably like 50+ wins at gold saucer easy (yes I know I wasted too much time here I was bored and yes I faced that guy with the fedora on the black chocobo all the time, he sucked).

i'm alright with da whole summons turning into vehicle (not da best idea, but i don't c a problem). it'll most likely give summons more purpose in da game than just monsters u summon cuz u found (VII).

If summons will be turning into vehicles I wonder if w/e summon they use for the wind element will be the new airship?

It would make sense... What with all the other summons in the game
