Are there any rpg's that concentrate on Summons?

[Lucandrake]

I've been wanting to play an RPG that is based solely on familiars! I don't know why but I'd figure it would be fun.

Jade Cocoon perhaps. I'm not too sure, though.

I ended up just downloading pokemons, since it fits some of the criteria I would put into a "Summon-Oriented" game.

You could try The Summoning.

 

I know it's not really what you're looking for but it's good.

 

And of course good ol' FF

Final Fantasy doesn't play out with summons alone.

Sadly , if squeenix wanted to make a new spin-off FF they could just revolve it around the summons. FF-Summons-Trilogy (Heard it from me first).

 

I saw videos of Jade Cacoon (didn't try it), the appearance just turned me off.

 

Idk if there are other games called "The Summoning", but the one I found was made in 92 and appears to require a handbook the size of Texas to play.

 

Edit: Playing through FireRed has brought back so many memories of grade school. It's so AWESOME!

I think Hera is mistaking "The Summoning" for the two Summoner games, both on the PS2. Also, you might want to try Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner series, as both games rely heavily on using summoned demons in battle. Actually, most games in the SMT series do.

Anything that has the word Persona in it which goes along with what Agozer said about Shin Megami Tensei. Persona and/or SMT those will be your best bet.

Summoner was also on the PC, however I can't exactly recommend it as to what you seem to be looking for.

 

Why don't you just play FF5 with a party of 4 summoners?

[Lucandrake]

^I actually ran through the majority of the game once with only summoners. It was Epic.

What is it you like so much about summons by the way?
