{{Galexgan|time=00:40, 20 March 2012 (UTC)|terra2= I've always loved and thought the summons something to add uniqueness to the gamplay. They are certainly not better to use except for rare instances, as are pointed out above, but they can be fun to play around with and add more depth to the story. I've been sad to see summons essentially unused since KH2 but they did lose much of their real purpose there with the OP drive forms. In KH1 the summons were an essential piece even during boss fights and Dumbo was an especially useful summon along with Tinker Bell. I despised the D-Link system of KH:BBS which erased both summons and real drive forms. If they had a usefulness I haven't found it... Even shotlocks become rather uneeded after a certain level unless your taking on bosses in the Mirage Arena. Sorry, this was a little off-topic rant but I had to say it. XD }}

{{Uxie|time=05:24, 20 March 2012 (UTC)|text=That's alright. Well, I don't summon much, anyway. In KH1, I only summon Tinker Bell (during boss battles such as Hades), though I might summon Bambi and Dumbo every now and then (both only in HT). In KHII, I mostly stick to Genie (again: helpful in boss battles if Sora's strength is high and Genie is in "Valor Form"), but I might summon Chicken Little and (only in SP and OC's Cups) Stitch. In BbS, I only summon Mickey to take advantage of the increased EXP (I do not summon at all with Terra).
Use of Drive Forms is better, though, since they can give out new abilities and even tell you when they level up. I'm already on level 5 for the ones I've got right now; once I "fight" Roxas, the use of Drives will be nearly at total to get Final Form and to finish the training, and I hope that I'll get it BEFORE the MCP this time, as opposed to post-Saïx in September 2011 and during the MCP battle in June 2011. And there's [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Dawn_(anime) no need to worry] about the lack of Nobodies, since I won't be doing SP until I get that form, and getting it to level 7.}}
