Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 2,000 - 2,500 comments. "One of our biggest load problems is entries that have a high number of comments -- loading those entries causes a big hit -- and we've been seeing an increase in the number of entries with lots of comments lately. If even a few high-traffic journals or communities started opening new posts when comments reached 2000 or 2500 instead of letting the post run until it hit the maximum number of comments, it would definitely help." - DW_News

Re: because I've always wondered what Yuffie's favorite materia was

You know always wondered what everyone would do when the summon shows up. Same goes for the other FF games. Do they just...step back and watch? Have a snack (in the case of KotR anyway)? Bicker amongst themselves on their battle strategy?

I'd say they'd heal and stuff BUT NO. They come back to battle in the same state of disrepair as they were before.

deep in the 'sure why not?' part of my head, I always took the FFVII fade out of the characters as them actually disappearing and the Summon temporarily taking their place. 'Put something into the universe, something has to be removed' kind of thinking. Humor-wise though I like the idea of the team pulling out folding chairs and picking up a well saved hand of cards to play go-fish while they wait for the dragon to finish coming in from outer space or Yuffie's knights to finish kicking the snot out of the poor bouncing penguin she siced them on.

Ohhh I like that whole 'put something in, take something out' thought. I never looked at it like that before! I always just figure they stand back like "Let's take a breather guys". Or if everyone's particularly cranky that day there would be bickering.

"I told you it was immune to fire! WHY DID YOU SUMMON IFRIT?"

I will admit to using ridiculously strong summons on poor, unsuspecting enemies that don't see what's coming.

I also accidentally kill chocobos a lot in FFX and I have no idea why. Poor chocobos :(

maybe the summon sucks up all the lifestream energy in that area so no one else can cast magic because it's greedy (well, that, and it's appearing out of "nothing"--there's gotta be some kind of trick to that).

Of course Aerith's using magic in the bahamut SIN fight but Aerith is kind of godmod at that point. doesn't count!

This is the only reason I can think of for them not healspamming because yeah, that would be pretty smart.

Re: /made-up excuses go here

That actually makes a lot of sense. It would justify why everyone would come back from the summon in the red (if they were before the summon, anyway).

Now I just want to read a fic about the characters during the summon bit - maybe the first time. When they try to heal and they can't. Minor freak outs would probably be had, with cooler heads being all "Guys chill. We got this."

At least they kind of vanish, instead of doing the whole 'run off screen, run back in' thing FFX does. Hell, even a KO'd character gets up and runs away, then runs back and promptly falls back over. Which never fails to amuse me.
