But, I'm super interested to hear your thoughts on Louisoix vs. Gaius when you juxtapose their objective positions versus your subjective analysis of them. We're told Bahamut virtually annihilated the VIIth Legion and most of the forces that didn't get to retreat. Louisoix was the last man in Carteneau. The last we saw of Bahamut, he was mid-cast-bar on his largest flare yet. A moment later, we see Louisoix, engulfed by blinding light. How is that any more or less unclear than the camera cutting away from Gaius still standing as a castrum collapsed around him? (Especially after he'd already exhibited that his armor could withstand an explosion which ejected him from the Ultima Weapon's cockpit, and the Ultima Weapon exploding again directly over his face a moment later.) Movie pyrotechnics alone tell us that you can't always trust a fireball to be an adequate indicator of concussive force or sustained temperature.
