Final Fantasy XII Summons

In this new installment of Final Fantasy, Summons are given the name "Esper" which was previously used in FFVI. FFXII takes a new twist to summoning the Espers, unlike previous Final Fantasy's there are 13 Espers which can be summoned, but who summons them is your choice.

To Summon an Esper, a full MP Guage is required, and be warned, the guage will be depleted completely. But do not worry, as you will regain MP with time. The Summon will stay until two conditions are fufilled:
  • The timer runs out - This is in the form of orbs, located where a normal party member's MP gauge would be. Each orb will slowly fades one after another while the esper is around.
  • The Esper is defeated.

    To get a Esper you will need to do two things, firstly encounter the Esper and defeat it. Defeating it, will add an extra block to the license board, which when activated will allow you to summon the Esper. However, that is not all, once a character activates it, it will dissappear from all the other characters license board. Meaning you can if you want, give one character all 13 summons, or if you'd rather you can give each character 2 summons each. It's completely up to you, although you should choose strategically.

    Now with the confusing bits out of the way, let's introduce you to the Summons.
