I would say that out of all the FF games, actually summoning the creatures in FF8 is the most useless thing you can do outside the first hours of the game.

As for the rest of your message, can't really disagree or add anything to that :)

True, it only really helps at the beginning, but I just like the summons so much that I find myself looking for reasons to use them. I think VIII has some of the best summons, best magics, and best limit breaks, which is part of the reason I get so frustrated that I have no reason to use them.

I do use Doomtrain on Omega before pummling him to death with Zell. 4k a hit, and a possible 40 hits per limit break, just by going between (X,O) and (Left, Right) attacks. So ridiculous.

The one thing I really hated in FF8 is the tutorials at the beginning, especially when I was already on my 2nd playthrough. They're all unskippable and lengthy, and unnecessary because the tutorials can be reviewed in the computers.

I feel pretty certain that some of them (or at least parts of some of them) are skippable...

Nope. I just replayed it a moment ago on an emu. Quistis' tutorials are unskippable - from the time you get on the parking lot, right down to the time you get on the fire cavern. And you have to wait for the text to scroll and press X for it to continue, so you can't even leave and wait for it to finish on its own.
