Final Fantasyhas a long and storied history of high-level spells involving summoned spirits. Whether these are gods, monsters, or something else, summons provide massive amounts of firepower, and have also come to be associated withFinal Fantasy’s flashiest animations. It’s no wonder that several entries work summons directly into their stories, andFinal Fantasy 16in particular is all about individuals representing classic summons.
Elemental staples likeIfrit, Shiva, and Ramuh are included inFF16’s highlights, and among the other representatives is the mounted knight Odin. Associated with the dark element, the Dark Knight class, and the instant death status effect, Odin casts a grim shadow but is typically benevolent. He has aided many since his inception, though his impact varies throughout the mainlineFinal Fantasygames.
