FF8 GFs vs FF10 Aeons

Personally I prefered the GFs in 8 more then I did in other FF games except when 10 came along.

Which sets would you say is better if you have experienced both games.

Not just in graphics, but instead with sheer power and character designs 🙂

Doomtrain was really quite amazing and so was Eden in FF8, but Brahamut and Anima were amazing in 10.

Pure gameplay goes to FFX IMO... since the creature you summon can actually stay on the field and fight as characters, rather than simply coming in, attack and then retreat... (Exemptions for this are when you have to fight the GFs in order to obtain them.)

But, nothing beats Eden... that GF was just to powerful, and too cool 😛

lol..eden takes this..doom train poisens them, then eden comes and obliterates them 😄..

you do know FFX international animas overdrive is 16 hits compared to the 1 hit in the US version?

Example, you perform oblivion with anima in the US version, the most you can do is 99999.

In the international version it hits 16 times so its like 99999 x 16

Whoever thinks the Gaurdian Forces win should see the link I posted about the Dark Aeons. Bahamut alone can petrify the Gaurdian Forces with Impulse, and Anima can inflict just about every status ailment, two of which render the Gaurdian Forcess inactive, and can cast Doom on all creatures. Also, In case one or some of the Aeons get killed, another Aeon can just bring them back to life with Auto-Life, one of the White Magic ablities FFX Aeons can learn.

one word...

DOOMTRAIN!!!

j/k, gameplay goes to the aeons (of course!), although i think diablos of ff8 was cool...

LOL! It only hits one in the US version? Tough luck...

Plus if this involves the Final Aeon in X, The Gaurdian Forces are pretty much screwed as well.

^^^^^^^^^^^yep...

gameplay really favors the aeons by a mile even without the final aeon...

Haha, I think the Gaurdian Forces are more about gameplay anyway since all of the Aeons have appeared in CG cutscenes, and not just in gameplay.

noted...

i meant that gf's are summoned to do one-time damage only...

well in cut scenes animas pain move is an instant kill attack, the finael aeon also being able to take down sin whom could send the world to oblivion while yojimbos zanmato is a sword from hell move which splits anything in half

I think it's fair to let the strongest versions of the monsters battle it out. Anyways, FFX Aeons I believe are the only creatures that can learn abilities involving White and Black Magic. Also, they can exceed damage limits and have really high HPs. I don't think the Gaurdian Forces stand a chance anyway.

Eden does over 30,000 points of damage with one hit. He was the first thing to exceed the 9,999 limit with one attack. Eden would nuke them all.

also the deux ex machina called odin...

The GFs outnumber the Aeons by a good margin as well.

20 if you add odin, gilgamesh, chocobo, and phoenix pinion...

not sure if minimog and griever can be considered GF's as well...

Odin and Gilgamesh also do 1 hit kills, so does that not count for something 😮
