The Omega

[Nalien]

I really hope the Eorzean Alliance has foolishly hyped up Omega...

"These inscriptions suggest this was built to slay Bahamut! This must be really powerful to stop that Primal!"

Fast forward to Heavensward and Azys Lla...

Allag killed Bahamut (the dragon) and Tiamat summoned Bahamut (the Primal)? How did the Allagan kill Bahamut (the dragon)...

Fast forward to 3.5, Nero walks in and chastises everyone for not realizing that this is the weak Omega Mk I that was used to slay Bahamut (the dragon) and was just on display because culture, hinting that perhaps the Allag perfected the machine and there's an Omega Mk XIV out there somewhere... Maybe have Teledji temporarily revived just so he can learn how dumb his ambitions were given how weak this Omega is, and to give Nero something to play croquet with...

The Ascians gave Allag the Heart of Sabik to use as the core for Ultima Weapon and this had the rather unique ability to imprison primals and use their powers at will.

I am also wondering if Unukalhai has something to do with its core mechanism, given his stellar nomenclature.

This doesn't bode well...

Is it weird that I've long since figured Unukalhai will absorb the Triad at some point, but never once made the connection between his name and the Heart of Sabik and it's purpose? I hope Nero inserts himself into the Triad story... "That's thing isn't "Unukalhai"! It's the Bishi of Unukalhai! An enigma whose surface even the vaunted scholars of ancient Allag failed to scratch!", Gods damned it SE, bring back Nero already!

Dragon!Bahamut wouldn't have been that weak. He's still one of the First Brood after all, right up there with Nidhogg. And remember that Nidhogg, even with only one eye that isn't even his, can kill you instantly unless his actual eye is turned against him.

Now consider that Dragon!Bahamut would have had both of his eyes when Allag defeated him. It's unknown what a First Brood dragon is like at full power, but I wouldn't put it outside the realm of possibility that the Primal!Bahamut was actually weaker than the original. I guess we'll find out when we get our rematch with Full Power Nidhogg in 3.3.
