End of an Era Trailer

[Ryuko]

Does anyone else feel stupid that none of us realized the similarity between Dalamud and Bahamut?

DALAMUD
BAHAMUT

Also, Bahamut now explains the new instance, and the tower in Mor Dhona with the big dragon-creature statue at the top of it.

It also may vaguely explain the introduction of summoners in 2.0.

It seems as though Louisoix, having failed at binding Bahamut with the assistance of the faith presented to the twelve, warped all the fighters away, but may have died himself... or maybe he warped at the last minute.

I think that statue thing in mor dhona was bahamans woman, so he was pissed and frusterated.

That did cross my mind. Here's the breakdown as I thought:

Dalamud.

Dahamud..

Dahamut...

Bahamut....

Yep, the spelling and pronunciation could have been warped with differences in language and time.

I am wondering if Nael van Darnus always knew the true nature of it, though, considering he was the one that called it down. We'll have to reexamine all he says to find clues and hints. I'm sure they're there, somewhere. You'd think he wouldn't want to kill himself, but lots of villains in FF's are perfectly fine with sacrifice in the name of what they think is 'good'.

Now the question of Louisoix... Did he know? He seems like he knew. He has that knowing glare. Or perhaps he's so quick on his feet that he's prepared for anything that is thrown at him.

Explains why Van Darnus could use Megaflare.

For the last time : the original name is Dalagab in Japanese... Doesn't make the dragon not Bahamut, but don't far-fetch the explanations...

Let the people dream! lol

Dalagab?

There's no L in Japanese, even in katakana... the closest approximation I can think of (assuming all other letters are right) would be... Daragabu? Unless they spell it in English, but I doubt...

Anyway, regardless, the English name they chose is Dalamud. I don't think I'm far-fetching explanations with the similarity between the two English names.

Yep, Daragabu/Dalagabu/Daragab/Dalagab ( ダラガブ ) are 4 possible transliterations.

My comment about the English names being similar still stands.

Also, I seriously doubt it is 'for the last time' if you have only made two posts ever, both of which were directed at me. I'm glad you felt inspired enough to make an account just to tell me I must be wrong because the Japanese translation is slightly different than the English names they chose. =P You really can't deny the similarity in English. If you want to call it a coincidence, that's fine, but I'm pretty sure large details in a made up world are intentional. It might not mean anything outside of, "You know what would be cool? If we gave the giant moon in the sky a similar name to Bahamut," but I'm holding to my theory anyway!
