OK, so there hasn't been a favorite esper topic in two years, and the last time there was one was before the GBA version came out, so we'll let that slide. I am removing the poll and changing your topic title, though, because neither make sense. -R51

i swear she was over 18!*is getting drug away by soilders* i didnt know she was that young!

Well because there are so many, it makes it almost hard to decide what one/ones are my favorite.

But i guess for ability or skill wise, then i'd have to say Bahamut and Diablos, cause they give u massive hp boosts

Kefka's Message of the week: Get off your couch noobs and get my new game Dissidia 012

I like Tritoch, and Bahamut. I personally like dragons a lot.

The ones you have to work hardest for. e.g. Bahamut. I missed a lot of the good ones though.

Palidor/Quetzalli - I like the whole party jump. I think it's neat.

Terrato/Midgardsormr - Tis a snake. I like reptiles... I think it's adorable, basically.

Crusader - Meteor. :'D

Leviathan[GBA] - It's pretty.

I rarely use espers,
so I don't like 'em battle wise.

It's dangerous, when will I finish this game?

I has a DA. I:

Palidor - hehe, equip whole party with Dragon Boots and the other jumping thing, I think it would be very funny

Tritoch

Bahamut

and Gilgamesh/Odin because I like samurais and swordfighters

Palidor used to be my favorite. I didn't even learn spells I just equiped him. I used him every battle. We had a falling out though. Caught him with another player.

Palidor! I love Palidor! The jump attack is just cool cause you can use it to avoid attacka that bosses charge up, (eg Goner) and also when you fight something like the Magic Master, who ues Ultima upon death, you can use Palidor just before his HP is at 0 (3000 or something) then one or two characters will drop down, he'll use ultima, killing off the characters on the ground, and the others will land safely without harm.

Also Phoenix, cause it's a bird, and I lik birds, both kinds , and also probably Diablos for the massive HP boost, which is good for Edgar, my Ultima weapon weilding, double weapon weilding, four times attacker!!

--------------------

I'm not crazy, I'm just... Yeah, I'm crazy!!!!

"You sound like lines from a self help book!" -Kefka

I agree about Palidor. I like Alexander too. His attack reminds me of the Light of Judgement.

Palidor

In terms of story, of course, Maduin. (as an aside, the only way I'd change the game would be if we could learn a little more about the back stories of some of the individual espers like we do with Maduin or Ramuh.)

Other than that, Crusader because of Merton. It is the coolest looking attack in the game - even though it can be annoying for obvious reasons.

I forgot about Ramuh. I like him alot too.

Alexander, Bahamut, Gilgamesh, Ramuh, Odin

I like Shiva and Ifrit. And the Phoenix, of course, for the story behind it.

Hey, FF artists! You might want to check this challenge out!

WEBSITE <3

Palidor, It did some good damage when eveyone did a simultanious (sp?) jump (very helpfull when your under leveled in Cyan's dream area).. but bonus wise i would say Fenir (he's the one that gives about a 30% mp boost at level up right?) yeah... I only have the Psone version...so I get to miss out on the new ones...yay me .

I'm gonna have to go with Odin here; beautiful sidequest with a great story (all his own, in fact!). Then he becomes Raiden in like five seconds (unless you stop to learn meteor with somebody 'cuz you're too impatient to wait for Crusader). Atom Edge!!!!
After that, my second-runner up would be the Paladin Shield, because it teaches you Ultima.

For the looks (when used in battle), phoenix. For actual usefulness, I'd say Golem . As for the lore behind the esper, Odin would be my choice. And for stat boosts, I guess any esper that boosts strength or magic by 2 would do.

By the way, I was reminded: Midgardsormr is an esper that resembles a giant snake. In FFVII there was a swamp not far from the city, Midgar, where you'd be hunt down by giant snakes called "Midgar Zoloms". I'm not very good with FF timelines, so if anyone could confirm whether FFVIa was released before or after FFVIIus, that'd be great.

FFVIa was released in 2007, Final Fantasy VII came out in 1997.

--------------------

I hear the jury's still out on...science.

That's it, you people have stood in my way long enough! I'm going to clown college!

My favorite esper would probally have to be Giant Cactuar! He is AMAZING, first he's cool looking and second he lets and learn quick. I also liked Ragnorak cause it let you learn Ultima. It's power was also pretty funny: turn enemy into item (LOL).

aww no one said bismark ^^;; i haven't tried gba version of FF6, but hey, where's the good old water elemental in ff6? >_> (except through some character special skills)

--------------------

I will be there...

Lol, me, too...

"I dub thee...Dried Meat!"

I personally like all of the Espers. They all have their uses except for Cait Sith He's practically useless.
I say if you use Ragnarock on Cefca he should turn into an Idiot Ring!

Alexander, Bahamut, Phoenix and Odin have always been my favorites. I also remember Palidor was very helpful during my playthroughs because it teaches Haste and Haste 2.

I would also like to express my wish that FFXIII will return to the traditional summons that we all know and love, instead of new ones, or the summons from FFXII for that matter.

The newest CoNcast is up! Have a listen!

Id probably pick Ramuh or Ifrit because they helped my party get through the floating continent.

My favorites are

carnbunckle- for its cuteness

Ragnarok- Ultima

seraphim- because it comes with a load of usefull healing spells

Finally Odin/Raiden- because i love instant kills
