From Final Fantasy 3 to Final Fantasy 4

Summons were introduced in the previous title of the series, Final Fantasy 3. There were eight of them: five could be purhcased as soon as the Evoker/Summoner job is unlocked, the last three could be obtained by defeating the summon. The same scheme is repeated here in Final Fantasy 4.

Eight Summons from Final Fantasy 3:

• Chocobo (start)
• Shiva (start)
• Ramuh (start)
• Ifrit (start)
• Titan (start)
• Odin (fight)
• Leviathan (fight)
• Bahamut (fight)

Three new summons were introduced in the original version of Final Fantasy 4:

• Mist Dragon (start)
• Sylph (event)
• Asura (fight)

Further four summons were introduced in the GBA and subsequent remakes of Final Fantasy 4:

• Goblin
• Bomb
• Cockatrice
• Mindflayer
