Final Fantasy VIII - Guardian Force Summons

Here's a little demonstration video. This video displays all the Summons in Final Fantasy VIII, which are called Guardian Forces (GFs). The only one I didn't include was Gilgamesh, only because he's completely random and has 4 attacks total. It would have taken me hours and hours to get them to show up. Odin managed to show up though, by luck. If you want to comment on which you like the best, feel free to. Here is a list of the GFs names in the order they are shown:

Quetzacoatl - Thunder Storm
Shiva - Diamond Dust
Ifrit - Hell Fire
Siren - Silent Voice
Brothers - Brotherly Love
Diablos - Dark Messenger
Carbuncle - Ruby Light
Leviathan - Tsunami
Pandemonia - Tornado Zone
Cerberus - Counter Rockets
Alexander - Holy Judgement
Doomtrain - Runaway Train
Bahamut - Mega Flare
Cactuar - 1,000 Needles
Tonberry - Chef's Knife
Eden - Eternal Breath
Odin - Zantesuken

I went in order of how they are listed in the game. Odin is the exception, as he's not a useable GF, he randomly shows up at the start of random battles and OHKOs them. Eden is the most powerful GF of them all, as its attack power can exceed the 9999 cap. Only a few other moves in the game can do that (Shockwave Pulser, Kamikaze). But Eden's animation is so long that you'll probably not want to use that as a way of doing damage.

I feel bad for the people who spend the entire game spamming GFs to win fights because they don't understand the junction system. It must be god aweful boring to sit there and wait through these summons just to hope to win a fight. They're cool the first couple times, but that's about all you'll want to watch them. So if you plan on playing the game, do yourself a favor and pay attention to the tutorials unless you WANT the game to be super hard.

"It must be god aweful boring to sit there and wait through these summons just to hope to win a fight. They're cool the first couple times, but that's about all you'll want to watch them." says the guy who makes a video about them.

We want to watch them over and over, hence why such a thing exists.

Youtube user GoingCrazy201 made a FF8 summons video AND took the time to do ALL of Gilgamesh's summons, and even threw in the item summons AND Mogs moogle dance!
