I imagine he could sense the current state of the world. Nael Deus Darnus seemed to almost give the impression that he was being possessed by Bahamut. Constantly referring to Dalamud as his "Master". And that Bahamut was in fact in charge. Also being a primal he possibly could have had a sixth sense with the aether flow as to where the biggest concentrations of life were near by.Quote:

11-18-2012, 04:21 PMRexIts Bahamut. Did you SEE how HUGE that guy was?! He probably saw the entire continent once he was free. He was high up. And huge. Besides, whether he saw them or not, he could have just flew around wrecking havoc anywhere anyway. But. I mean. Since he was the size of the dalamud.. Well bigger... Considering he was scrunched up in there. He, like dalamud, was visible from all parts of the continent I'm sure. And if you can see him, he can see you.Quote:

Who's to say Nael van Darnus wasn't feeding him information anyway. Clearly the Garleans weren't afraid of Bahamut.

he he he, imagine if there is a force even bigger then Bahamut, thats pulling the strings.
like in the good old titles. Edea----Adel-----Ultimecia for example
makes me shiver to think there would be a force great enough to control Bahamut, or even beyond that -
11-18-2012, 10:10 PMHiirNoivl
Well Paragons do control the primals.

11-18-2012, 10:12 PMIngolfDo we even know if Bahamut is a primal in the same scope as the others?Quote:

Also, even without knowing exactly where the cities were, it was evening and all 3 cities are pretty well lit up. Even the lights of Grid would be visible through the trees. From his vantage point, way up there, he could have easily seen all those lit up areas and just made a dash for them. -

Bahamut is definitely in a league of his own compared to Ifrit and Garuda ... atleast I would hope so lol
-
11-18-2012, 10:42 PMHiirNoivlHe was referred to as the primal of dragons. The other primals speak of him as a peer, even though they refuse to say his name and don't seem to like him much.Quote:

Well I guess if Ifrit had been fed that much energy, he could similarly be that much of a threat.
Though he does seem more powerful than Garuda and Ifrit combined. -

I dunno actually, I do think that Bahamut is significantly stronger than the other Primals... What other reason would the Allagans have to imprison him over simply defeating him.
Saying that, were the primals we fought the actual primal, or simply an aspect of the primal? -

I'm still waiting for more remnants of the allag civilization to pop up which gives us the mission to go after bahamut in the first expansion.

11-19-2012, 12:40 AMFallenstarzHahhaha, I started them up both at the exact same time from 0:00 of each video and they fit perfectly together! a shame Skyfall ends before the FFXIV trailer. lmaoQuote:

Ingolf:
Why did the Allagan's lock him up? The motivations behind all this are still a mystery to me.
Because of it, I'm not fully convinced that Bahamut is evil, any more than Ifrit or Garuda were evil. Van Darnus even said, in the Garuda Wakening quest, that he was being painted as the villain. Now we just found out that he is of Allagan descent. Louisoux knew Bahamut was in there, and he also knew that there was no stopping him. Cid revealed that after we "defeated" Darnus on Rivenroad (Hard). Yet he never said anything about it. And by giving us access to the primal fights and encouraging us to go defeat primals, Louisoux helped Bahamut get too strong for the Allagan's techno-magic to contain, pretty much guaranteeing that he'll never be locked up again. Which seems kinda awkward, if you want to think that Louisoux was trying to avoid Bahamut's release.
To me all of this points to something beyond the obvious Big Daddy Bahamut conclusion that FFXIV 1.0 has. It seems that both sides wanted Bahamut free, even if it was for conflicting reasons.
