Final Fantasy X contains a great new system for summon creatures, or in this game, known as Aeons. Not only are they here to deal massive amounts of damage to an enemy when summoned, but they also take the place of a character during battle as long as they are called. Just like characters, aeons have both and HP and MP guage, the ability to use certain skills such as black and white magic, and an overdrive guage! However, just like characters, when an Aeon reaches 0 HP, they will be taken out of battle and your party will be put right back into the battle as before the aeon was summoned.
In the game only one members of the party has the power to summon these powerful beasts - Yuna. In order to obtain these new beasts, Yuna must pray at the various temples throughout Spira. Most of the aeons are automatically recieved throughout the course of the game, however, for the most powerful aeons, You must go on sidequests.
Every Aeon has special skills, and in order to use them they must fill up their overdrive guage. There are two diffrent ways to do this. The first is to have the aeon take damage through battles. Aeons also have a special ability known as 'boost' which allows the overdrive guage to charge at double the rate. However, the price paid for this is even more damage, so make sure to use that wisely! The second way is to have Yuna reach overdrive. When she reaches overdrive she can summon and aeon to aid her in battle. When they are called their overdrive guage will automatically be at 100%, which means they can use their special abiltiy on the enemies!
Each Aeon also has a special normal attack which is explained in their section. They are unique to the character and usually have some side effect that's smacked on. Not only that, but elemental Aeons, such as Shiva, have the abiltiy to heal therselves with the magic of their element. Great feature, indeed! However, for non-elemental monsters such as Bahamut, you'll probably will wish to have them learn a cure spell. Yes, that's right! You can teach your aeons skills. In order to teach them skill you must have a certain amount of items.
