In-game Information

The Totema's appearance in Ivalice was sudden, and their origin unknown. Unfathomable, too, is their incredible power. One thing we can say is, they seem willing to lend that power to us. It is possible to summon the Totema using judge points (JP) obtained by defeating an enemy in engagement. Only members of the race that a Totema represents may summon that Totema. In other words, you'd get further talking to a rock than trying to summon another race's Totema.

Basic Information

As described above, for each race in Ivalice, there exists a corresponding Totema. There are five total: one each for the Moggle, Nu Muo, Human, Viera and Bangaa race.

Totemas are similar to Aeons from Final Fantasy X or Guardian Forces from Final Fantasy VIII. They can be summoned in battle to aid your party's cause, but they are often more powerful than common summoned monsters (such as Ifrit or Shiva) themselves. They posses great power; their actions affect all units on the field.

Acquisition

Totemas serve as guardians for the crystals that bind the fantasy-style world created by Mewt. They will defend their designated crystal at all cost. Only when your party has defeated the Totema and destroyed the Crystal it protects will you have the option to summon it in battle.
