Revelations from Patch 5.4

More 5.4 speculation

At 1st I thought Lunar Bahamut was just a recreation of him via Fandaniel's creation magic, but seeing how they need to look for Estinien then maybe Lunar Bahamut might have draconic origins after all? We know Allagans (and recently Garleans) have cloning technology, so maybe Fandaniel did something something similar and cloned Bahamut and enhanced him with whatever magic?

Hmm, perhaps, or maybe...

Lunar Bahamut is a clone made by the Allagans long ago, perhaps from a Lunar base of theirs. Remember, they had the ability to create a giant satellite (Dalamud) and send it far off into space. Them having a moon base wouldn't be outside of the realm of possibility. Damned Allagans, continuing to make us speculate years later! *shakes fist*

Either way,

It's clearly a reference to FF4 (GBA/PSP versions, that is) and Kain's Lunar Trial, in which he had to confront Lunar Bahamut alone.
And since Estinien is pretty much an expy of Kain...

I'm not so sure about that.

Fandaniel did state that Lunar Bahamut was the first of the "beasts".
That, combined with what we've heard about various Amalj'aa going missing leads me to believe that we'll see other Lunar versions of past Primals (such as Lunar Ifrit, for instance).

I don't think you can read into it that much from what we (and the Scions) know.

They looked at the big dragony thing and said "hey, maybe we should call in the guy who knows how to fight dragons". No guarantee that it is therefore a "real" dragon or not.

In any case, a dragon created by Creation magic isn't any less real than one created as a clone of an existing dragon - though it's unlikely they'd have access to the original Bahamut for cloning anyway.
