FFXIV Bahamut vs. WoW Deathwing - Who Wins?

Saw this thread on the WoW forums, Looks like the majority of people agree that Bahamut would win. What do you guys think?

Bahamut could kick Deathwing's ass with Deathwing's ass.

Makes me wonder the whole extent of Bahamut's rampage might shed more light on this...What are we returning to 5 years later?

Well, yeah. Anyone who's been around through Cataclysm knows Deathwing was overblown in importance. Deathwing would need the Dragon Soul and the focusing iris of the Eye of Eternity combined to even stand a chance.

OP was exaggerated greatly! Obviously Bahamut would win ;) BUT he nowhere near destroyed the world, he "slightly levelled" the Eorzea region, didn't even touch the rest of Hydaelyn.

Indeed! The only thing scary about Deathwing was his sheer size. In fact, people sought him out hoping to get the Stood In The Fire achievement.

He's a chump compared to Bahamut.

To be fair to Sailormut. he does get many incarnations throughout the universe, and seems to up in strength and power every time. Yesterday's Teraflare is tommorrow's Megaflare and next week's warning shot.

Think the closest dragon in WoW lore to the FF 14 Bahamut would probably be Galakrond, and even then id be one hell of a fight hehe.

there isn't much "lore" for Galakrond though, except that he was the "progenitor" of dragons and was bigger than all 5 aspects combined. It took the 5 flights to take him down apparently too.

Bahamut comes out of the top half of a "moon" >.> Guessing he is pretty frikking big :P not to mention his ability with "magic" seems really strong, strong enough to "fight" off the imprisonment of the 12 <.<

Smaug would own them both.

Bahamut would eat Deathwing and pick his teeth with his bones. This contest isn't even fair. lol

oh, this thread again.

and as i pointed out before- bahamut failed to destroy the world as well.

As I watched both, only Bahamut that blew my mind off. Deathwing is too slow.

Come on, Deathwing, don't stop!

Hopefully, Bahamut won't be like in FFXI. Bahamut's battle in FFXI is meh in my opinion.

what did Bahamut destroy again?

Bahamut should be as hard as the original version of Pandemonium Warden, you know, the non-gimped version, not the version they made after people wimped out and cried about the difficulty.

Someone saved my picture~! :3

On topic:
They're about equal in my opinion. Neither really destroy the world, and both end up being stopped by players.

did you actually do the real Bahamut (v.2) battle, where he summons the other wyrms kirin-style? and if so, did you actually do it at level 75 cap, before TP burns? there was nothing 'meh' about it. before it was trivialized it was hands-down the hardest fight in the game outside of PW and AV.

if you're referring to the other one, though, sure it was underwhelming. they couldn't have made it much harder though without causing a tsunami of tears. people endlessly complained about promyvion difficulty, after all.

Bahamut! :D

Bahamut has been around much longer than some crap lolWoW thing. It's no contest.

Heh, for sure Bahamut.. He is the king for a reason..
I like the caption though. :)

Also, unless I am mistaken. ARR is in an entirely new world..
Just because we didn't see the world end, just means we were not there..
Because we were teleported.. If we had actually "seen" it end.. We would all be dead..
Can't take pictures when yer dead can ya? lol..

So of course the only pictures of Eorzea are still in tact.. Mega flare didn't come until after..
That ended the world..

That's because WoW isn't filled with fanboys hell-bent on attacking other games... unlike another community I know. =)

Bahamut's older 1987, but Deathwing has been around since 1995.

Have fun patrolling the castle.

Wait, what?
Unless I'm mis-reading something it sounds like you're saying that ARR isn't the same place as 1.0 was.

It's the exact same place, just 5 years into the future =$ If this isn't what you were saying then I apologise, but that's what it sounded like >.<

I must have missed the part where the players "stopped" Bahamut. It must have been sometime after the players were soiling their underwear as they watched Bahamut lay fiery waste to the land. Perhaps a few seconds after the dragon overpowered a spell from the 12 freakin GODS that ruled the world. I'm not sure. Had to have been before Lou teleported us into limbo to save our life from the huge flaming death that is megaflare that likely turned him and everything else around him into ashes. I'm gonna go back and watch the trailer again...

...(watched trailer again three times, returns)...

Okay, I give up. What the heck are you talking about? lol Was there, like, a video showing the defeat of Bahamut in ARR and I missed it or something? Someone help me out here.

He probably means that since there is Bahamut's Labyrinth in ARR we most likely fight Bahamut there. Since we fight him we most likely defeat him. Pretty safe assumptions.

As for the topic, I quit WoW long before Cataclysm came out so I can't give a proper opinion of Deathwing's destructive ability. Based on what I remember about him from the WarCraft books I've read, Bahamut is cooler in my opinion.

Or he could be talking about previous incarnations of bahamut in prior games, where he was a boss or needed to be defeated in order to gain the ability to summon him.

It would because wow sucks

Watching the WoW trailer for Cataclysm, Deathwing just sounded like a pissed off dragon. My Garchomp, Dragonite, and Haxorus could take him out!

Pfft, even weak-sauce charizard could take him. lol

Everyone calm down! Let's get to a real battle!

Bahamut vs. Goku vs. Deathwing vs. Superman vs. The Dragon Zord vs. Doctor Who vs. Kratos vs. Master Chief vs. The Death Star vs. Hulk vs. Enterprise NCC-1701D

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/285267

Old Godzilla was hopping around
Tokyo City like a big playground
When suddenly Batman burst from the shade
And hit Godzilla with a Batgrenade
Godzilla got pissed and began to attack
But didn't expect to be bocked by Shaq
Who proceeded to open up a can of Shaq Fu
When Aaron Carter came out of the blue
And he started beating up Shaquille O'Neal
Then they both got flattened by the Batmobile
But before it could make it back to the Batcave
Abraham Lincoln popped out of his grave
And took an AK-47 out from under his hat
And blew Batman away with a rat-a-tat-tat
But he ran out of bullets and he ran away
Because Optimus Prime came to save the day
This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
Godzilla took a bite out of Optimus Prime
Like Scruff McGruff took a bite out of crime
And then Shaq came back covered in a tire track
But Jackie Chan jumped out and landed on his back
And Batman was injured, and trying to get steady
When Abraham Lincoln came back with a machete
But suddenly something caught his leg and he tripped
Indiana Jones took him out with his whip
Then he saw Godzilla sneaking up from behind
And he reached for his gun which he just couldn't find
'Cause Batman stole it and he shot and he missed
And Jackie Chan deflected it with his fist
Then he jumped in the air and did a somersault
While Abraham Lincoln tried to pole vault
Onto Optimus Prime, but they collided in the air
Then they both got hit by a Care Bear Stare
This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the Ultimate Showdown...
Angels sang out an immaculate chorus
Down from the heavens descended Chuck Norris
Who delivered a kick which could shatter bones
Into the crotch of Indiana Jones
Who fell over on the ground, writhing in pain
As Batman changed back into Bruce Wayne
But Chuck saw through his clever disguise
And he crushed Batman's head inbetween his thighs
Then Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White and
"Monty Python and the Holy Grail"'s Black Knight and
Benito Mussolini and The Blue Meanie and
Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie
Robocop, the Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader
Lo Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger
Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan,
Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan
All came out of nowhere lightning fast
And they kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass
It was the bloodiest battle the world ever saw
With civilians looking on in total awe
And the battle raged on for a century
Many lives were claimed, but eventually
The champion stood, the rest saw their better:
Mr. Rogers in a bloodstained sweater
This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the Ultimate Showdown...
(The Ultimate Showdown)
This is The Ultimate Showdown...
(The Ultimate Showdown)
This is the Ultimate Showdown...
Of Ultimate Destiny.

highlighting faulty logic at work, i set deathwing up for a burn based on further faulty logic

that's not ironic. that's intended. what's ironic is that it's lost on you both

aside from this doing even more to underscore your unabashed, categorical bias- no.

does anyone has a link to the original WoW thread?^^

lol fusional, you really need to calm down. I can't help but notice how quick you were to jump into this thread that somebody made for fun and start trying to derail it with a bunch of aggression. I don't know whether this is because you are a troll or just a really angry WoW fanboy/fangirl, but you need to chill. Guess what? I like Deathwing too!And I'm also fond of WoW! It's a pretty fun game!

Does this make you feel better?

Well, if the trailer we got is any indication, we just may get one seriously awesome fight! Unlike the one with Deathwing, that makes me go to sleep.

INCOMING FUSIONAL TIRADE AT 6:00!!!!!

I was speaking in future tense. We'll be stopping him at some point.

Ahh, I should of read up a bit.. Point is still valid though..
It's 5 years in the future. But that bears a question..
Is it the future of some alternate dimension, or is it the future of that same dimension?

Regardless 5 years previously, the world was destroyed of most life.

That's kind of not the point though. :P..
Even when we defeat him. He would still have destroyed the world.
That doesn't just disappear because we finally win..
The score is Eorzea 0 Bahamut 1..
At best we get to break even.. But he still nuked the planet..

So in order for death wing to even compete, he has to first destroy and entire planet.
So technically "No" both did not get stopped by players..
If we had stopped him, Eorzea would of not been nuked..
We will stop him this time but we did not stop him before..
That's the heart of this story I think.. ;)
