Evolution of Shiva summoning from FFVIII to FFVII: Remake (1999-2020)

Cool vid but just wanted to mention Mateus is from a different Pantheon. Also the lady you see on Mateus is a Goddess bound to Mateus. Mateus is the dude behind the woman's torso.

Yep! It gets a little bit confusing with with the actual form it takes as Mateus along with Exodus, Chaos, Zeromus, etc. as Espers are references to final bosses from the very early installments in the main series (in this case The Emperor of Palamecia from Final Fantasy II with his first name Mateus only revealed in the official novelization I believe). Some of them, however, made their debut as summonable creatures in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance as Totema. The confusing part is that as an Esper in FFXII he’s indeed the fish-like armor behind the chained goddess (while her blue skin is probably a nod to Shiva); while as a Totema Mateus is a non blue-skinned woman wearing fish-themed armor. Changing genders of summons isn’t uncommon as Leviathan was the King of Eidolons in FFIV while in FFXV the water-elemental sea serpent is a female).

No FFVII Shiva? Should've been in place of Mateus.

[@shadyogre6396]

You count Mateus in?, yes he's an Ice Esper but He's NOT Shiva. 😅

[@ryanderenbecker8837]

No FFIII, FFIV, FFVII?

I think it’s a bit ironic how many female characters in fiction have ice powers when women in general don’t have high tolerance to cold like men do 😂

[@EdsonYamamoto]

FF8 the best shiva. Ice Lady not flashy not an ugly beast not sexualized

[@moarasilvia]

Avacalharam a shiva!! Transformaram ela em moto!? Nada a ver 😠😱

[@manfromnantucket9544]

In Hindu mythology Shiva is a man 😐

[@Kumire_921]

Who cares

[@manfromnantucket9544]

@@Kumire_921 the game uses a lot of mythology for its monsters and summons. Accuracy should be at least a little important

[@JoshuaXiong]

First two are best.. the rest are ugly except that one many girls.

[@realJimmy_Balls]

FF8 and FFX was the best shivas. The rest are just garbage.
