I took the "valiant blades forged under the Twelve's good grace" to be the giant swords-like items locking Bahamut in place.

As for how long he's been up there I don't know. It would seem that The Twelve locked him up in the first place, but Dalamud is specifically referred to as "the red moon of Allag," and they have technology allowing for its control.

I'd have to look this up to be sure, but I think the Allagan Empire fell after the Third Astral Era, ushering in the Fourth Umbral.

So either the Allag exiled Bahamut, or the Twelve did it for them.

What's interesting to me is that Bahamut is a god worshipped by dragons, not by man, and in the opening cutscene to 1.0 we see the dragons directly trying to interfere with the empire's plans.

Something's up there, too.

The good news is that the new cutscene didn't get us any new info about The AG Party or the 10 Years Ago Party aside from that they still hang out... though, I'm starting to question if they even have stories or names. I'd be a little disappointed if they are just proxies to represent "us."


Also, the concept art from earlier makes the Ultima-Gaius look a little like he's taken on some of Bahamut's form. I mean, they could just be similar due to archetype body forms that we associate with antagonists - but might be interesting if his newfound morphology were the result of the Empire's dealings with this new dragon god association.
