Thank you moose I never noticed the difference in the waiting cutscene. The lore team keeps saying what is a God other then just an abnormal mortal given time for his story to become real and making him/her a God, to me this means the Gods aren't real, however the people of Earozea believe them to be so who anyone who is abnorm. strong becomes a physical manifest of the God like back in the Greek days. I ment in a since that I found it int. that the spell seemed to trap Bahamut in the same way that dalmund did. in a sphere with 12 locks pos. very similiarly. Considering that the allag were very tech. and magic. advanced I wouldn't be surprised if dalmund was a 2 part seal 1 being the spell first and 2 being the physical structure so that the ather is no longer drained from the land and can be restored. Or maybe the built dalmund after being inspired by the spell but knew that the spell could cause their own destruction? I'm sure you have theorys that have a lot more info. behind them.
