Looks Like Bahamut Picked up a few tricks from his last ass whooping.

Notice how Bahamut gets sealed in a red globe there...

As others have said, it seems that Bahamut was put in a "temporary prison" that was meant to hold him as the 12 were summoned. Before the summoning could complete, however, Bahamut broke out of that prison and scuttled the whole thing.

I don't think it's that the 12 weren't able to hold Bahamut, but rather that they never got the chance to do their thing.

Dalamud had been absorbing aether for a long while, even weakening some of the primals. my guess is bahamut was juicing up on aether and possessed van darnus to draw his prison closer to the planet.

Midgardsormr is the dead dragon in Mor Dhona.

Or he was, anyhow.

Pretty sure that what was left of Mor Dhona is now a barren wasteland.

So basically the same, only on fire.

I approve of your shameless DBZ: Abridged reference.

^ This very much so. If you recall when you're spamming through the primals, Louisoux mentions that it's troublesome how the aetheric energy ganked by the primals hadn't been getting absorbed back into the earth upon defeat... Bahamut was drinking that stuff in. So I blame all you people who HAD to get all seven of your totemic weapons! (j/k)

Lets not forget Atomos sucking Eorzea dry like a packet of Capri Sun. The 12 need that aether just as much as Bahamut did and it was not enough remaining to reseal him so he just mega-flared everyone's faces off for trying.

[Ryuko]

Perhaps, after using megaflare (which he is clearly charging at the end -- you can see it right after Louisoix's staff breaks), Bahamut is exhausted enough so that he can be once again imprisoned in the giant red moon known as Dalamud. This is just my personal opinion, but Dalamud looks very 'egg-like' when it breaks open. The edges of it are also spiny (what was that blade that fell to the ground about?). It seems as though it is a shell that bursts open, revealing Bahamut. They try to recreate this, but fail. If Louisoix and the others are mere mortal incarnations of the deities, then the deities themselves can still act even if their mortal selves are gone... perhaps they will be even more powerful... Or, as I said above, perhaps Bahamut will be so exhausted after Megaflare that he can once again be imprisoned. It may have even been Megaflare that prevented the prison spell/ritual from completing in the first place.

Only Archons are said to be The Twelve reincarnated. Louisoix and Urianger being the only Archons. Y'shtola, Yda, Papalymo are only apart of The Circle of Knowing. So if Urianger is away and survives that leaves 11 Archons still alive.
