Hey, any of you folks from other world bring your own GFs with you? Or things that shouldn't be GFs but are? I want to hear how they work for you.

-The Great Jecht

[Jecht sent this message from, of all places, the library. Now, seeing this bronzed athlete in there instead of swimming or just hanging out is as unlikely a sight as Garden has ever seen, but weirder still, he's got a few books stacked up and is clearly attempting to puzzle his way through one. Jecht isn't stupid, mind, but no one can accuse him of being book-smart, and the dissertation on the effects of GFs he's attempting to read is just not his style.]

I have eidolons which are like gfs, but i have to use them as GFs and I don't know why, its stupid.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

A lot of things changed like that, I hear. How'd they work before?

[doublewhite]

I just called them and they came!!

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

...that doesn't sound a ton different. Except for not needing to Junction them.

[doublewhite]

but it is, i cant speak to them properly anymore.

[marearcana]

[...wait a minute. That was clearly her swimming instructor.

In the library.

Confusing enough, wouldn't you think? It was certainly enough to distract her from whatever she was working on.]

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Man, ya'd think people smart enough to write books on this stuff'd be smart enough to write 'em so they could be understood.

[Just a general grumble to midair as he slaps the book shut in frustration.]

[marearcana]

[Sounds like they don't have enough Expression.]

Unfortunately, reference materials can be like that sometimes.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

[He looks up at Twilight... and far from panicking at being caught in the library, starts to think.]

Heeeeeey. You're good with magic, right?

[marearcana]

...Yes, of course. Why do you ask?

It shouldn't be very much different from using a normal GF. At least, that's how it was for me.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Yeah, but that ain't true for EVERYONE.

[grollschwert]

Well, I suppose not. I was never all that close with my grandfather.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Me, I'm just wondering if all the GFs that show up here come out more or less the same on this end.

[grollschwert]

It may be useful to know such a thing.

[youngnobelman]

He's not a GF, per se, but my partner and I have noticed that on this world he can only evolve (change to a more powerful form) as part of my Limit Break, when at home he was able to evolve at the drop of a hat.

Y'know, Aeons were kinda like that. They had to build up some power before they could really let fly with the powerful stuff.

[youngnobelman]

We didn't use to have to build it up; adjusting has been a bit of a learning curve.

What are Aeons?

Touma H. Norstein

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

They're what a summoner summons, on Spira.

[youngnobelman]

Any similarities to GFs?

What are GFs?

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

[This question startles Jecht enough that he actually has to go look up the ID of who posted it... which, when he did, explained a lot. (And got her a pass, because, well, she's hot.)

(What? ...if Jecht had shame, he'd wear a shirt.)]

The things we junction and summon here.

[tempesting]

what are those?

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

GFs're... Sort of like energy creatures. You got the right stuff, you can hook your brain up to their energy pattern, and then you can summon them and do other stuff.

[tempesting]

You enslave them?
