Comparing OCs to FF's Summons is like comparing dogs to lions, really. Or dogs to dinosaurs, if we're talking about Diabolos, Bahamut, Alexander, and similar ones.

I mean, making an OC based on a FF Summon is not an inherently bad idea in concept, but those Summons tend to be associated with pretty powerful things, like Odin and Zantetsuken - which to be faithful, the OC would need to have as well.

So, you don't get, say, a guy in armor riding a horse. You get a guy in armor riding a horse who has the ability to insta-kill anything. And that brings in balance problems.
