How big is Bahamut?

[Dement]

So, I just did T5 to help a friend out and used the 100 x 100 yalm grid square to measure Bahamut's palm (from the end of the wrist to the start of the middle finger), which ends up at roughly 130 yalms. Using concept art to measure how many palms he is high, I get a very rough ballpark of 9,360 feet (1.7 miles) as his height.

Now, at 9,000 feet, we're talking 3.3 Burj Khalifas. We're talking almost the size of Mount Olympus.

I can't help but wonder how much wiggle room there is between the various sizes of his various appearances, lol.

This seems much more likely to me and is still terrifying. OP, I think, as you stated, that your fault was in the assumption of the proportional size of Dalamud to Menphina. Keep in mind that Dalamud is a construct of the Allagans and while they were incredibly advanced, I find it hard to believe that they were able to build and launch a man-made satellite the size of PA. Even building an ~3-4 mile wide satellite is an incredible feat.

So you are saing that he got bigger on the time he was on dalamud? that doesnt make sense, he was always that kind of big. Its easy to know his side guys, go to T5, look for images of Bahamut, then make your calculations xd

I could believe that. He meets Louisoix eye-to-eye while Lou's on top of a mountain cliff, so that sounds about right.
