[4K] SHIVA DIAMOND DUST in 14 FINAL FANTASY GAMES | Final Fantasy 3 - FINAL FANTASY 16 2023

[@8CountLife]

To me FFX is the image of Shiva that I compare all others to. Her dreadlocks the finger snap, and the way yuna catches her shawl makes her seem regal and otherworldly and not just a summon at your disposal. You are here to witness her show.

[@ladyivygaming2838]

YES 👏🏻couldn’t agree more 😍 I also always interpreted her giving her shawl to yuna as a protective gesture as well. Like she can wear it to stay warm 🤣 cuz you know it’s gotta be cold when she’s around

[@8CountLife]

@@ladyivygaming2838 Exactly!!! I never thought of it that way! That's what's up

[@rhys_king_music]

She's so yassified in FFX, I love it

@@john_7000 bro is mad people are enjoying things 🤣 it’s a weird battle to pick dude , gotta be honest

[@Chubbinizer]

The FF16 is really beautiful but the finger snap follow with silence of the FF14 is one of my favourite moment in the game. Truely calm before the storm for me.

[@myrkrormr]

lets not forget after the silence..............STEP ON ME ICE MOMMY!

[@Chubbinizer]

@@myrkrormr Indeed, the heel click then *wiped peacefully*

[@Yokai_Yuri]

They don't know. These people usually use clips from others and they have no idea if there is a Shiva in 14 or if she does diamond dust.

[@bingus6869]

I say to this day, the transition to phase 2 for Shiva’s trial in ffxiv still shakes me. From Footsteps in the Snow playing then thinking my party got wiped with diamond dust… then fucking Oblivion start playing and I start bawling my eyes out.

[@tontj]

When Oblivion starts and things are getting intense.

[@AbsolutelyStunning]

Nothing tops Shiva from FFX. The finger snap is just chef's kiss 🤌🏻❄️✨

[@john_7000]

Another biased ff10 fans. Just shut up

[@hotaru13]

The amount of sass in that snap is magical 😂

[@awastedcow]

Man, I love watching videos like these. It's just such a gentle reminder that FFX Shiva is peak still to this day. The hair, the clothes, the poses, the flair and especially the SNAP. Crisp.

[@ladyivygaming2838]

YESSSS

[@shizukagozen777]

IMMACULATE. 😌❄

[@Pikachu-qr4yb]

If so much grace means no expression or personality. Then yes

[@shadownight9956]

​@@Pikachu-qr4yb?!?!

[@SilenceYouBeast]

@@Pikachu-qr4yb I have to agree, personally not my favourite character, a bit bland. And the Shiva dominant seemed nerfed compared to the others . As a Shiva fan I was disappointed 😔

[@Deathope1887]

Thats the first one I ever saw as a kid, so although shes not always my top favorite she'll always be #1 in my heart

[@midnightpanda10]

the gey awakening for me 😢😂

[@Skinnylandia]

It’s a crime to not show Eden Shiva

[@venuzmodeling]

Eden shiva didn’t do diamond dust at all. Her transition move was called Shattered world.

[@Skinnylandia]

​@@venuzmodeling tru.... but I really liked the design too.. then again its based of 14 shiva but still aaa

[@geekwars3998]

My personal top 3: 1. Jill's Shiva from FFXVI 2. Ryne's Shiva from FFXIV Shadowbringers 3. Ysayle's Shiva from FFXIV Heavensward

[@DodderingOldMan]

I think I have to agree with this ranking. That fight in Shadowbringers was incredible, and has possibly my favourite musical theme in the entire game.

[@Rondart]

Based and CBU3-pilled

[@sariihover4798]

16's are top tier overall

[@babuababo]

For FFXIV i think you should put her intro cutscene there too, even i love her heels step shot but that’s too less to show her gorgeous for this version. 😭

[@cybersoul3371]

If they were to design the fight today, they would do it as a cutscene, but they didn't really use midfight cutscenes back when the shiva fight came out.

[@mikeswayiscool]

8 & 10 will always be my faves!

[@Jennifer-ok6cv]

Exactly the same

[@Crispierbug]

Imo FFX had the best summons, they looked amazing plus they where fully controllable party members that had more then a single attack.

[@luiviltov]

My favorite has to be the one from FF16, the coolest incarnation of Shiva, even though she's never at her best in a fight during the game. Then FF14, FF13 and Dissidia NT.

[@matiasluukkanen7718]

FFX Shiva feels like aesthetic peak design, her blue dreadlocks, translucent ice skin, and the way she carries herself. There is no way of improving on that. But then again FFX had such superb designs for Summons that later interpretations of Ifrit and Bahamuth amongst others feel lackluster by comparison. FF 16 Shiva feels like a girl. FFX Shiva feels like a Demigoddess.

[@Lightlord56]

"the later interpretations of bahamut and ifrit feel lackluster" yep, i'm really starting to think people didn't played the same FF XVI than me

[@NEPHILIM-WARRIOR]

I've loved the fact you added Dissidia NT on this list

[@agunlogisteam]

Shiva X. Such swag. 👌

[@saintfighteraqua]

I love Shiva in X. I have fond memories of her in VIII as well.

[@dalgona4819]

ffx was my first exposure to shiva so she is special to me. but ffxiv shiva is so majestic and ffxvi shiva has this cold elegance that suits her well. it's my first time seeing type zero shiva and i like the skater aesthetic they gave her.

[@blue-phoenix115]

16 Shiva is the least naked one? 13 Shiva is just a bike 😭

[@eke6116]

15's like...your own personal harem.

[@fernandovelazquez7653]

Is that a problem?

[@FantasyNero]

@@fernandovelazquez7653 Actually it's a problem when they cover her up, it's fan service when they make her beautiful body revealing.

[@User-LS-n5m]

​@@fernandovelazquez7653duh, obviously a problem. Or are you playing into the stereotype that all men are pathetic horndogs easily swayed by seeing naked skin lmfao

[@b3nt0t]

​@@fernandovelazquez7653 its a problem for the wokesters. They hate beautiful and sexy figures.

[@mhimhi2754]

FFX Shiva will always be the best for me. That design is so pretty.

[@vante2]

The one in XV is quite sad when you consider the fact that Shiva's target was Ifrit, and they were lovers before he became enthralled.

[@jeannettewilliams1189]

Personally, i like it when Clive uses Diamond dust.

[@denzelvilliers]

1 - Ysayle's Shiva ( FFXIV ) 2 - Ryne's Shiva ( FFXIV ) 3 - Jill's Shiva ( FFXVI ) Those are the best one for me by far, their design and especially story / background / character. Unlike most of games where Summons are just a "magic spell with a cool animation", they have an actuall story and development. Also, Ysayle's Shiva literally stepping on your face to break her Diamond Dust is pure gold 💃🏻

[@blazethecat363]

wait! in XVI the shape of Shiva's crystal! it's the same shape as the Mothercrystal in XIV! holy crap! I think that might be a reference!

[@aerieleah533]

It's made by a heck of a lot of the same team so doubtlessly

[@redrhapsodos6630]

XIV and XV are super cool but X will always be what the image of Shiva should be to me. I think XV is a close 2nd place for me though.

[@fenix_tx_1342]

As an FFXIII defender, I gotta say, sorry to the whole world for the summons in that game, you didn't need to see or remember that.

[@fernandovelazquez7653]

If you're going to shit on that garbage videogame's summons then don't defend anything about it

[@karateLEMON]

Watching shivas FF8 animation made me wanna button mash square haha 😂

[@kairichteweg2211]

8 and ten are my favorites and they have much in common. Both are breaking through ice blocks and the attacks are also similar

[@MayHugger]

Kinda hard to take her seriously as this powerful being when she’s almost always basically naked. At least they got it right in 14 and 16. Shame they made her oddly weak in 16, she draws with Titan in her first appearance and gets wrecked every other time. :/

[@Jasonlol73]

All the eikons in 16 are equal in power. The host is the only determining factor. Which is why Barnabas kicked everyone’s ass.

[@MayHugger]

@@Jasonlol73 This is not stated at any point, and if anything, there’s proof of the opposite, since as much as we all love him, Dion doesn’t seem to be that special without Bahamut, yet as Bahamut he can take on and be winning against 2 Eikons at once, with one of them having defeated a powered up Eikon previously.

[@Jasonlol73]

@@MayHugger Dion isn’t anything? Dion held the tide of Akashic that consisted of two behemoths and he still stayed behind to kill even more. He’s the strongest dragoon. How is he not anything. You also didn’t contend the fact that Barnabas, who easily kicked Clive’s ass, is the strongest both with his Eikon and without.

[@MayHugger]

@@Jasonlol73 He didn’t do that alone, he had a small army with him. Barnabas is inconsistent with his strength, he wrecks everyone, including Clive with little effort, but then shortly after Clove beats him despite there being no reason that should be possible, he really wasn’t much stronger narratively. Barnabas is not the strongest as an Eikon, Clive as Ifrit beats his ass every time he transforms into an Eikon. Being the strongest dragoon really isn’t that special by that point of the game, we fight multiple of those with ease by then, they’re treated like a slightly stronger grunt, remember that we beat one as a kid with only a single Eikon ability, they’re nowhere near as impressive as you’re trying to make them out.

[@Jasonlol73]

@@MayHugger Gav and Jill hardly counts as a small army especially when behemoths can call meteor swarms and destroy entire castles. Did you keep up with the story at all? Did you forget entirely that Clive takes a portion of Shiva from Jill and suddenly is no longer getting his ass kicked? Who would’ve thought 5? 6? Eikons at that point would finally allow him to beat Barnabas. This actually adds to my point. Shiva on Clive was a massive power boost where as on Jill she wasn’t really that strong. If you’re claiming that all the dragoons are equal in power then I’m really just arguing with someone who can’t grasp simple understanding. You’re saying the dragoon we beat as a kid, would be equal in power to the dragoon posted as a hunt? And with that same logic, Dion is just as strong as every other dragoon. 😂 I’m done here.

​@@jacobsiron6929I like their design, it fits with the world, its just the turning into vehicles part that is just too much😂

[@jacobsiron6929]

@brunobuss7005 oh, yeah, they're pretty great by themselves, and a couple of them are honestly pretty cool (Odin turning into Sleipnir, Alexander turning into a castle... even if it's a bit weird visually, but makes sense so w/e), but yeah the Gestalts are overall kinda weird sometimes; Hecatonchiar turret system is, uh, certainly something

[@fernandovelazquez7653]

​@@jacobsiron6929 in a world where there's spaceships, trains and cars, idk why would it be weird for a summon to turn into a vehicle

[@BrendenBarlow]

Ffx shiva is iconic. Definitely one of the more recognizable aeons for me. Especially with her going toe to toe with anime when you first get her.

[@Kuponobu]

My favorites are definitely XVI, IX and X’s.

[@shravan4409]

Jill’s shiva is just beautiful, graceful and is portrayed with a lot of emotions. And imo it has the best design too

[@DaenerysHeiress]

Honestly Shiva is and will always be an iconic part of Final Fantasy!

[@SirVyre]

Where's FFXI Shiva at?

[@exiaax]

Idc the shiva bike is badass and super pretty My faves are X, XIII, and XVI. XIV edenverse Shiva is also one of my faves but she’s not a real Shiva. X is the best Shiva out of all the Shivas.

[@honeyzaddy3762]

I wish they just made her 16 version match at least 15 in terms of strength or power cuz in 15 alone Shiva immediately changes the atmosphere when she appears but in 16 she always struggled (I know it's probably cuz of Jill succumbing to the curse far more than the other Eikons but man her potential was just wasted ☹️).

[@hashtag.ethanz]

Can’t even lie here, this is definitely true in the very most sense

[@Lightlord56]

Well if you played the DLC It is because of Jill succumbing to the curse because ...*Rising Tide spoiler*... The dominant of Shiva from 100 years ago literally freezed time to seal fucking leviathan and created an artificial mother cristal with her power... So yeah, a real good dominant of Shiva would have been too broken to fight in the main story

[@Bidoof_7]

I like FFXVI's shiva design the best of all of them. I get that beauty with a slight hint of elegance and a tad bit of modesty to it

[@johnsantos507]

The evolution of all variants of Shiva.

[@oceanicGrimalkin]

X is iconic aesthetically, but I like XV Shiva best story-wise. She actually feels quite powerful there. Usually, she's used as one of the "starter" summons, but XV made her immense.

[@NaitomeIya]

XVI Shiva is my fave, but then again all XVI summons aren't just summons, but are characters themselves. X Shiva is 10/10 design and queen energy tho. I think her finger snap is what is referenced in XIV Shiva and her heel click.

[@mikea3098]

My personal favorites are Jill and Ysayle. Shiva as a fleshed out character is my jam. Love when they do summons that way. However FFX Shiva is pinnacle of Shiva. The design, the movements. Yuna catching her cloak and that finger snap. That was an awakening for many you gaymers lol. Which is hilarious cause here is this half naked woman but boys who never even knew the words shouted YAS QUEEN when that snap went off lol

[@Carlisho]

My love for motorcycles obligates me to love 13 Shiva the most 😂

[@fernandovelazquez7653]

My Personal Top 5: 1.- Type-0 Shiva 2.- 4 Remake Shiva 3.- XIII Shiva 4.- X Shiva 5.- XVI Shiva

[@vandayum]

Ff16 shiva is so much of everything. Her grace, beauty, self sacrifice is so top tier. Ff16 really missed a lot by making Clive the only playable character. I would have love to play chapters of Jill and cid and the other erikons and see how their story played out.

[@d6rkOfHate]

Shiva from NT, XV & XVI is so hot

[@drewpetterson]

Do the people who complain about Jill’s and Shiva did even play the game to know her background????

[@greyperry]

She's like the Scarlet Witch Wanda. Defensive and offensive. Massive long range abilities, but decided to short range with Thanos

[@andrewando622]

Most Beautiful Shiva: FF16 Most iconic Shiva: FFX Coolest-looking Shiva: FF8 Strongest Shiva: FF15 Strongest-looking/sounding Diamond Dust: FF8 The other Shivas are pretty meh... I forgot to add weakest Shiva: FF16... I mean c'mon, why did Square have to nerf her after the battle with Titan? She didn't do jack when we fought Bahamut and she was pretty useless during the fight at the mothercrystal of the Iron Kingdom.

[@Lightlord56]

Play the 2nd DLC and then say again that 16 has the weakest Shiva

[@moto3112]

It's fine to have another favorite, but nothing will ever beat FFX Shiva. She's EVERYTHING.

[@Chymai]

I’m sorry but FFXV one is just hot… I mean…. Cold.

[@Qeisama]

I swear I've seen Shiva blowing ice dust from her hand since I first played FF back in PS1 and it stuck to me as Shiva signature attack, something like this 💁🏻‍♀️💨 But no. Looking at this video, the attack is not here. Turns out, Shiva did this on FF7R? HOW?? 😮

[@Psydkik]

I think some of the animations in other games may have implied that she was doing that

[@Elvariel369]

Hi!! I read your comment and i thought just the same!! I remember Shiva's attack that way, so i kept reading comments and suddenly, i remembered!! I suppose you played FF XII, because is in that game!! But, it's not made by Shiva!! Since it has esper Mateus instead of Shiva, they gave Fran "Diamond Dust" as a special attack, and she makes it so similar to FF X, but blowing instead of finger stuff. Interesting fact: Mateus use Shiva as a living shield, so i was hoping to see Mateus attack or Fran attack in the video 😢

not just bland but the most weakest shiva ever in all FF, cant even beat liquid flame which isn't even an eikon and is struggling, when garuda and other eikons have displayed world destructive powers, Jill's Shiva is struggling to keep away some lava lol, even resorting to using diamond dust which should be an ultimate attack yet it looks like a blizzaga, heck noctis blizzaga magic is stronger and able to freeze the entire area in blizzard state.
