The word 'Aeon' is the name given to the summonable creatures
within Final Fantasy 10. Many of these creatures are incarnations
from previous games in the wonderful Final Fantasy series
(some of the Aeons are returning from past games) such as
Ifrit (fire), Shiva (ice), and Bahamut (dragon).
After Yuna has entered a templed and received the blessing
of the fayth, the aeon may be summoned in battle. The summoner
must pass through a Cloister of Trails to reach the Chamber
of the Fayth. The aeon is summoned to perform devastating
attacks against enemies, and its overdrive attacks are impressive
to behold. You can shorten the aeon's entrance scene in the
Configuation menu. By using the Short option, each aeon's
full summon animation and full Overdrive attack are only shown
once.
When Aeons are summoned in FFX, all other characters run
off of the battlefield to make room for the Aeon and Yuna
(Yuna cannot be attacked while the Aeon is out, however, nor
can she do anything except recall the Aeon). The Aeon will
remain out until its HP is depleted or he is recalled by Yuna
(you get the choice to do this every turn). Aeons in this
game level up and learn abilities differently than in previous
FF games, but that's to be expected. In FFX, your Aeons learn
new abilities by giving them items (such as Farplane Shadow
x30 to teach them the 'Death' ability). There is a wide range
of abilities available for each Aeon, and every ability can
be learned by every Aeon regardless of element or type (Ifrit
can learn Ice, Shiva can learn Fire, etc). |
