With Square Enix's new release becoming an instant success, many people are worrying they are missing things as they run through the game. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has a multitude of side quests, amazing weapons, and powerful abilities. Summons will be another arrow in your quiver as you explore an open world and fight terrifying monsters.
FF7 Rebirth: What are Summons?
Summons have been a part of the Final Fantasy franchise since the 1990 classical game Final Fantasy 3. They have had different roles in the games, sometimes being nothing more than devastating abilities, other times being major plot points. Depending on the storyline, characters have described them as powerful monsters or sometimes gods.
Their roles have shifted depending on the game and their names have also changed. Square Enix has called them:
- Summons
- Eidolons
- Espers
- Guardian Forces
- Aeons
- Astrals
- Primals
- Eikons
- Avatars
In the latest release in the Final Fantasy franchise, the Summons can join you in battle. Your characters will have to equip them before you can summon them to your side. They will deal damage to your opponents and give you a boost to your stats. Be sure not to miss any.
