Because summons are only useful in combat to block status effects/big hits and the ocasional Anima's turbo attack. Three characters deal more damage than a summoned guy in the long run. Not being able to cast buffs (except Hastega) and heal (unless you use items) properly. Very easy (Free auto-life for the final boss, really?). Random item drops for random characters with random slots and random abilities from bosses (since most abilities are bad and you can't remove them or add slots this means that you'll get crap 99% of the time). Basic Attack is better than any offensive skill or magic (even with Doublecast). Doublecast doesn't work with white magic (why, the game is too easy anyway, let me have some fun). Lack of multitarget offensive magic. Every enemy from random encounters is designed to be killed with a certain character using a certain attack (if you do it right, you'll kill them in one hit). Three enemies per random battle at max except in the Calm Lands (and the 4th enemy can be killed in one hit stealing it). The last two things I listed combined + some party management and regular enemies won't be able to touch you.
Time is running out so I'm missing stuff for sure. |
Summons are immensely useful until you get to the endgame content. Even then they're not useless.
in which game? I found buffs to be the most effective in 10 of all the games.
Clearly you've never played Final Fantasy VII, where the final boss instantly gives you Omnislash. Some battles are there for story reasons, not to be challenging. Besides, you just fought Sin, Jecht, and the summons.
It's a Loot-based system, nothing wrong with that. it's not the end of the world, promise.
Plain wrong.
Again, wrong.
that's called strategy, it means you have to switch through your party members frequently, and you have to know HOW to kill them.
Also wrong. Lots of battles had more than 3 enemies in both X and XII.
Again, Strategy.
I think you just suck at the game, dude.
