Oh God, I literally quit the game because the summons were so absurd. I feel I spent more time watching the same animations than I did playing the game.
I imagine that’s a design consideration.- same with Ultima and other big spells. You get a big payoff after a big wind-up. It’s trying to telegraph that if you want speed you should build your party differently using junctions
‘please, Internet, tell me how to turn my game controller into a vibrator’
Kids these days… Back in my day, we just turned on FF8 and spammed summons

game designers be like: NO! REBUILD YOUR PARTY IF YOU DON’T LIKE SUMMON ANIMATIONS! WE WILL NOT PUT A SKIP BUTTON IN!!!
honestly I don’t hate it as a decision. there should be rewards for using all the mechanics well
At least there was button tapping to power up so there was SOMETHING to do during the forever animations
Oooooh Shiva, you can be my ice queen any day
