Shinryu, huh.

Looks like Bahamut to me, but yeah it seems the summoning of the 12 failed. Perhaps they weren't strong enough to trap a fully rested up beast.

(It looks like Dalamud itself was the same container they attempted to reseal him in) So perhaps there was more to the ritual to seal him back up)

They were stuck in Now Loading... The twelve that is.

Yup they tried to put him in the same confinement as they did those many decades ago. But he was just too strong and wasn't gonna fall fate to that prison again. I can imagine how cramped he must have felt being locked up in that ball in space for all that time. I would be angry too.

THANK YOU - Someone else noticed, been skimming threads to see whether anyone noticed how the magics the Twelve attempted to use to seal Bahamut, were almost the same type of magics that had sealed him from the beginning. Considering how powerful Bahamut is, the fact that Nael van Darnus tells you that "Dalamud was created by man and placed in the sky by his hubris" (something of that nature), and the people he speaks of are of the "Allagan Empire" (The first Era's people whose Magic/Technology/Magitek surpasses anything currently known on the face of Hydaelyn.) This leads me to wonder: How did the Allagan people pull this off, if they themselves were so powerful, where did they go, and, most of all for me... why was the Twelves' sealing spell eerily similar to Dalamud's structure? They were almost identical. Hell, even Dalamud was white before it was disturbed, and turned red.

it was always red and it always followed the moon.

Not true.

The full official quote:

Whatever it is Dalamud conjures up in your mind, lately it has taken on such an angry red hue, even those ordinarily indifferent to the affairs of the heavens have been hard-pressed to ignore the change. Verily, a growing number of citizens are seeing this as an evil portent. With a sanguinary eye seeming to glare down at all creation, you can scarce begrudge folk their sense of foreboding.

From your lodestone history, you joined on the 6th of October, 2011. Patch 1.19 went live on the 5th of October, 2011, and it was the patch that made Dalamud start appearing red. From patch 1.19 onwards, it got closer and closer as well. I assure you, it was white before.

So it was, never really noticed it before

It turned red with patch 1.19 or something. It was white for ages, and actually flickered to red randomly pre-that patch. It was a big rumour at the time.

But yeah, I've got screenies of when it was white.
