Assigning Final Fantasy summons to GX characters because why not?
With specifications on which version of the summons I've assigned them, only some genuine explanations of my thought process, and I will take no criticisms 😌
In my mind how this works is that the summons function like they do in 13 at least at least to a certain point. Like how they obtain their summon at some point throughout whatever story is being told here, or maybe some of them have obtained them already, and they're summoned via crystals in the heat of battle when needed. So in my mind as I'm picturing all of this, I'm picturing the 13 summoning technique to an extent.
Alright, let's get into it!
Jaden - Anima (FFX)
If you know the Anima lore you know this is actually so big brain
Yubel -> Anima
Syrus - Valefor (FFX)
I like the idea of Sy and Zane having a similar type of summon (Zane gets Bahamut, spoilers) with them both being creatures that fly, a dragon and a big bird. But Sy's is weaker in power and has a gentler spirit, but that spirit is strong. Very thematically accurate for them.
He could also have Doomtrain to sync up with his deck archetype I think that would be funny
But he gets Valefor because I have a lot of sentimental value towards her and she's one of my favorite summons and he's my favorite and I said so 😌
Chazz - Ixion (FFX)
My favorite lightning summon
Thunder boy and his lightning horsie ⚡
I would honestly just love to see it
Alexis - Shiva (FFX version cuz she's my fav summon period)
Decks are being taken into account and she plays an ice deck in the manga and while she's in the society of light in season 2 🧊
I don't have a crazy in depth explanation for this I just feel it in my soul. I've always said she would be a Shiva girl like me even without her and Atty both having an ice elemental association betwixt all the GX media.
Giving my favorite girl my favorite summon
Atticus - Diablos (FFVIII)
Nightshroud -> Darkness -> Diablos.
Another big brain choice actually
He could've also had Shiva pretty easily tbh and I considered that, but ultimately went with Diablos for the Darkness representation.
I mean come in, the guy is basically possessed by the main evil entity of the show and Diablos is essentially the devil.
Bastion - Leviathan (FFVIII)
His ace monster is Water Dragon, come on now. 💧🐉
Hassleberry - Titan (FFXV)
Titan is a big strong man as is our boy
Also he's Earth element and if Hassleberry had an element he would be Earth I feel it in my non-dinosaur bones.
Sadly there are no dinosaur summons I'm sorry bby 😞
Chumley - Choco/Mog (FFVII)
I'll be so for real I had such a hard time figuring out Chumley like from the summons I had left to choose from cuz I added Blair and Chumley to the list last, I couldn't find one I thought fit super great
But as I was going over the summons lists again I pictured these guys appearing alongside Chum and I just smiled. It just made me smile and so does he.
Sometimes it's just that simple.
But I did also consider Fenrir as an option as well.
Blair - Siren (FFVIII)
Siren specializes in status ailments (silence specifically) and you could argue her love deck reolves around a status ailment, namely Maiden In Love causing male monsters to fall in love with her, which actually is sort of a thing in some FFs through the Lamia enemy but shhhh
8's Siren can also heal status ailments so that gives Blair more abilities available to her to support the party
Valefor would've been another choice for her I just feel the vibe there but I want Sy to have her so 😌
Garuda could be another decent potential choice for her as more of a combative summon than a support summon, I feel that vibe too.
But I dunno I was just drawn to Siren for her so there you go.
Zane - Bahamut (FFVII Remake or FFXIII/XIII-2)
Dragon
Bahamut is typically among the most powerful of all the summons if not the most powerful depending on the game.
I'm wrestling between 7R and 13, 7R has almost some cybernetic action going on that gives me Cyber End energy while maintaining the classic dragon design, and 13 has Chaos Bahamut in 13-2 so he could have Bahamut then it could morph into Chaos Bahamut once he enters the Edgelord Supreme era to facilitate the shift from Cyber End to Cyber Dark if you follow my brain's logic
Aster - Phoenix (FFXVI)
......I-I mean..... Phoenix... Aster.... Aster Phoenix..... 😅
I literally could not resist 🤭
I would also except Odin for him though I think that would be cool too that's a vibe
Jesse - Carbuncle (FFVI)
Ruby Carbuncle ✋
Axel - Ifrit (FFX)
The perfected classic design imo
Badass fire boy 🔥
Like dude imagine Axel with Ifrit by his side
Unmatched
Jim - Syldra (FFV)
Syldra was Faris's pet and best friend since childhood who became a summon later in the game after sacrificing herself. Very reminiscent of Shirley being Jim's best friend/pet/protector since they were both young.
The implications of of the idea of Shirley sacrificing herself for Jim and becoming the summon makes me upset tho so we can just delete any timeline where that happens 😁
Crowler - Alexander (FFVIII or FFXIII)
Alexander is typically a machine or like a straight building or structure of some kind and Crowler plays Ancient Gears so 🏰
8 is a very good classic Alexander, just a great summon, and 13's I have a lot of sentimental value for but also him being a guy that turns into a defensive wall in Gestalt mode and with the way Crowler will put himself between harm and the kids at times.... thematically accurate Alexander?
Crowler wouldn't be beating the Dad allegations any time soon with that version on his side
7 Rebirth's Alexander is a close 3rd choice I think too I really like that design
With Alexander I was trying to think about practicality cuz they're all so massive and occasionally story relevant so he's not always a readily available summon so I sadly ruled out 9 and Type-0 as much as I really wanted him to have either of those too
Really wrestling with the specifics of this one
Sheppard - Ramuh (FFIX)
Wise old man
Sheppard is kinda dumb tho and makes some questionable decisions but he means well he's got the spirit
Banner - Chaos (FFXII)
In the lore, Chaos died and and was reborn several times.
Banner died and was reborn when he transferred himself into a new body, then he died, then still stuck around as a ghost.
Debated switching Phoenix from Aster to Banner and finding another one for Aster but clearly I did not lol
Also considered Phantom from 6 because it's just a ghost and uh.... Ghost Banner. But Chaos is cooler.
Adrian - Zalera (FFXII)
I was gonna give him Odin because of the insta kill move and how he had Exodia which is an automatic win but then I was looking at the summons list and was looking through the 12 Espers and listen.
Zalera is an Esper of death who clutches a woman in his arms and uses her wails to inflict death.
This really reminds me of Echo clutched in Exodia's hand screaming as she's being murdered by Adrian in the interest of obtaining Exodia.
Plus we had no 12 representation I chose Banner's after this and as 12 is my second favorite ff behind 10/10-2 that is criminal.
Welcome to my mind. 😌

I know I am late af to this but I SERIOUSLY ADORE THE CATIFIED CHARACTERS SM LMFAOOOO we ever thought about Vaas, Hoyt, Buck, Sam, etc for these cat designs 👀 👀 👀
so, funny story: I actually DO have a Vaas design ! It was for a drawing I was going to make of 3 of the antagonists, so I warmed up with these little doodles a while ago:
I later redrew PAWCRY with Antón, and Pagan's designs had some tweaks ! (Joseph's too, I think - Joey you stupid stupid man and your incredibly long list of crimes💖) But I never actually drew the thing I was planning to. I might in the future !
As for other characters, a Liza design is coming soon, and here's my Jason design, coming from a shitpost I made, but never posted as I felt it wouldn't be taken too kindly as it poked fun at Jason lol
I don't design FC3 characters that much, but I do really like Dr. Earndheart which I might do, as he's just a sweet old guy. 3 isn't my favorite game, so there's not much for me to draw. If you want the characters you listed I'll draw Sam in a bit ! I have no idea in my mind what Buck or Hoyt would even look like, but if you have an idea I'd like to hear it !
And if you want others please leave more rqs ! I love drawing other people's goobers regardless of my taste or not, and it seems like you have a lot of them (/pos) so lmk if you want more !💖
