In the most mainstream Final Fantasy games, whenever the player summons, flaming green orbs float out or encircle the player character preceding the selected summon's appearance. Depending on the game, the summoned monster attacks and then leaves, or stays and continues to attack until it's defeated or its time runs out. In Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy XIII, the flaming green orbs do not appear, and are replaced with a character animation of the summoning, or a seal where the summon emerges from.
