Shiva in FF12

sorry these questions might seem convoluted. i haven't played it yet, ff12, but if u've played or know anything about the japanese version i'm wondering if shiva is in this game? if so, plz provide some links to pics, i wanna compare her to... herself from ff10. and if not, i'll be really upset cuz she's my favorite and often the first summon i get in most ff games i've played.

Any character you control can summon... but you'll have to choose who can summon which esper. The esper will appear on the license board, only one character [you can choose which one] can acquire the esper by taking up that grid the esper is on, after which, the esper will disappear from the license board. After you defeat another esper, it will appear on the license board, it will disappear after the character you choose acquire the esper. :)

I think there are no limits as to how many espers one character can have. But, it's better to have more than one character have an esper each. :wink:

Yeah i was thinking the same thing also.

Maybe i will look it if later for you all or if someone else does it then that would be Cool.

i think the the espers have names that eppeared in some older FFs and FFT... Common names like Shiva, Bahamut, are actually names of something else now... Shiva is the name of an airship, and Bahamut is actually the name of a Sky Fortress in Final Fantasy XII !

Two of the summons, which i've attained in the game, are "Belias" and "Mateus". By following the main story, and skipping the optional espers, you should be able to get other espers like "Semihaza", "Hashmurim" and "Famfrit".

There are 8 more espers that you can get by going to other places on your own will...

And, it's almost confirmed that there is no summon named Shiva ... maybe you'd like to check Echang's FAQ? :wink:

According to this FAQ, there are 8 more optional summons whose names are:

Adramelk, Kyukrain, Zaruera, Exdeath, Zeromus, Chaos, Altima and Zodiac. I think some of these names appeared in previous games like FF IV, FF V and FF Tactics [same producer as FFXII] .

yeah good point lets all boo kinetic

booooooooooo !!!!!!!!

booooooooo !!!!!!

some more lol

ya, true...

And more, booooooooo :?

ya, true...

And more, booooooooo :?

kinetic-core

Yes... and lots more booooooooo

Correction: They're not boo-ing the game, they're boo-ing me. Because i didn't put ***SPOILER*** warnings before telling them everything. I realized my mistake, and i boo-ed myself too. So, care to join in? Boo me? ooo..... :?

Honestly, i don't mind skipping some common summons for one title, inviting them back for the next title in the series will give a "WOW!!!" feeling... Just like seeing all these summons, that were from some older FFs and missing from the recent ones... it gives an "Oh my god!" experience. Although they don't look quite the same as the older ones, because of the poor graphic technology they had back then.

I really wanna ask if they look good, the summons in FFXII, but I don't want everyone to get mad and boo me for asking more about things they want to find out about themselves, but really it doesn't matter much to me, the story will be there or it won't, and knowing which summons are around isn't going to affect the game for me, I just wanna know if they look tight.

there was nothing spoiler about that.

well, when you said shiva blew up i guess.

since when did shiva get hot.
