Could anybody at T9 explain story inside? (spoiler)

[Alise]

I saw a spoiler name of the T9 bosses, and make me curious about this very much.
I don't think I will be able to challenge T9 anytime soon, so I want to ask if anybody here could give me detail of the story.

Bahamut is using Nael van Darnus' memories to create an aetherial form. It's leading to a lot of speculation that van Darnus' may have been a female hidden under the armor as the character shown clearly has the standard Garlean "3rd eye" and is clearly female...the other side is that this female character is someone else from Van Darnus' memories (perhaps his mother) and I've even heard maybe it's a physical form of his weapon Bradamante whose name comes from a female.

Story wise Bahamut is using this Darnus to combat us in an attempt to use someone we're familiar with and defeat us, once defeated Bahamut relinquishes the "tempering" which confuses Alisaie as she believes once tempered it cannot be undone. So it brings up more questions of "tempering" atleast when Elder Primals come into the formula.

Basically, Bahamut can't use his big body to fight us, so he create the Raven body to fight us?

Then I have more question. What exactly is coil of bahamut? It is bahamut rotten body? but why so many mechanic thing inside? Is Bahamut a robot?

From what I have read, the coils are rebuilding Bahamut. Binding in this case is "binding the parts together". Since a primal requires believers and aether to live, the Allag had created the coils to not only sustain Bahamut in the real world, but also repair him (or resummon?) if killed. Why? Bahamut was put in Dalamud to leech of his energy and send it to the Crystal Tower. This energy most likely powered the Allagan civilization and it's devices. This may be why (what seems to be) tempered Louisoix tells you to stop interfering. It's also why Bahamut is so pissed off at everyone.

Of course these are theories put together by some people, so SE might throw us for a loop and have it turn out shutting down the coils is a bad thing.

I have a feeling that will be the end result. Maybe that the Coils aren't/weren't regenerating Bahamut, but keeping him held back in a state of disrepair...and by shutting them down we're allowing him to regenerate "naturally" (there's tons of crystals around; he could likely just be leeching the aether out of them to do so), or even accidentally turning on the regen process.

Maybe Bahamut doesn't want to be regenerated, maybe when he is and "released" from his prison he knows the Ascians will take over him or something (wouldn't surprise me if they taught the Allagans how to trap and control him in the first place, perhaps to set a plan that would take millennia to work...once released, a nearby Ascian would direct the primal to destroy everything to allow them to reshape the world for their god, or something) and then destroy everything (including Bahamut himself), and so sets out his tempered thralls to try to stop us from releasing him and the Ascians from controlling him...

Yeah, I know, crazy theory.

Throw on the darksteel foil hat and you'll be fine. We've heard crazier ideas before and some of them were actually not too far off the mark.
