The gestalt are intrensically tied to each character as they become Fal'Cie, it's the mark of a Fal'Cie.

I just think that somewhere down the history something happens that will allow for one of the characters to have an epic summon or something of the sort, as that is a part of tradition since FF had summons.

I like the system of Persona 4. When you maximize the social links the Personas assume another form, much more powerful. There could be something like that in FF XIII, you do some side quests and you maximize your bond with the summons, so, they just change their form to something more spetacular and powerful.

Actually that is a really good alternative, never thought about it xD But since Final Fantasy doesn't do Social Link systems, I guess they could tie that kind of evolution to some very hard or complex side quest, that would be nice.

Great suggestion :O

OMG OMG 9 DAYS TO THE NEXT FINAL FANTASY EPIC!

Going even further in the suggestion. There sould be like a puzzle or/and a searching quest for each summon transform, with requirements, than, you'll go in a battle with the summon you want to upgrade, you fight the upgraded version of the summon and when you win your summon turn in that version. Like a fusion of the FFX Dark Aeons and FFXII Espers hunt with more puzzle, searching and (why not?) story-telling of the specific summon.

The day I take a break from forum activitys so I can avoid getting spoiled.

You know, that actually sounds like a bit of the system that Shadow Hearts used, when you wanted to upgrade Hyuga's Fusions.

Maybe they could integrate a similar system tied to the new Hunt system they're going to use for FFXIII, as some specific hunts could be made only for Gestalt upgrade :O
It would be very nice if each summon had it's own specific history as well. We already know that the summons are intrensically connected to each individual Fal'Cie, but we don't know why and how those Gestalt are chosen for each Fal'Cie.

I just wanted to ask you guys

do you think FF13 will be the most tragic FF game ever?

I meant technically all the main characters could die if they fail their focus, which they probably will as who would kill billions of citizens & the place they grew up to save themselves?

At this point we can just speculate.

But if to be the most Tragic FF ever it will have to top FFX's ending, do you think it could do that? :P

FFX was tragic?

Pah.
