Final Fantasy XVI is arriving soon, and is expected to bring some truly titanic Eikons. As expected, these summons will be commanded by their Dominants, with each kingdom in Valisthea having access to one. Of course, there will be people that covet all of them, and with that in mind, the commanders of the summons could change through the course of the upcoming Square Enix RPG.
Each of these Dominants is just as important as the powerful Eikons that they command in Final Fantasy XVI. Although players will only control Clive, there’s no telling how powerful he will become throughout the course of the game. Fans can look forward to a variety of epic, giant monster battles, but, at the start of FFXVI, who controls which summon?
All Eikons and their Dominants in Final Fantasy XVI

The nation of Waloed boasts a few Dominants and Eikons as well. Cidolfus “Cid” Telamon has command over the mighty Ramuh summon. As in previous games, Ramuh is going to be a powerful summon that's based on devastating lightning magic.

Another of the most powerful Eikons, Dominant Barnabas Tharmr of Waloed controls the Warden of Darkness, Odin. Astride his mighty steed, the armored warrior can be summoned to devastate anyone on the battlefield that Barnabas desires. A man who was once but a wanderer, he used the power of Odin to establish the Waloed Kingdom by bringing all the local beastmen to heel under his power.
