Shinryu, huh.

THANK YOU - Someone else noticed, been skimming threads to see whether anyone noticed how the magics the Twelve attempted to use to seal Bahamut, were almost the same type of magics that had sealed him from the beginning. Considering how powerful Bahamut is, the fact that Nael van Darnus tells you that "Dalamud was created by man and placed in the sky by his hubris" (something of that nature), and the people he speaks of are of the "Allagan Empire" (The first Era's people whose Magic/Technology/Magitek surpasses anything currently known on the face of Hydaelyn.) This leads me to wonder: How did the Allagan people pull this off, if they themselves were so powerful, where did they go, and, most of all for me... why was the Twelves' sealing spell eerily similar to Dalamud's structure? They were almost identical. Hell, even Dalamud was white before it was disturbed, and turned red.

Yeah! I'm very surprised not many people mentioned that... I sort of just knew the first time I watched the video as it was so obvious... then I watched it 20+ times afterward just to see whether there are hints of otherwise.

Also, everyone SE already confirmed that it's Bahamut:

it was always red and it always followed the moon.

It turned red with patch 1.19 or something. It was white for ages, and actually flickered to red randomly pre-that patch. It was a big rumour at the time.

But yeah, I've got screenies of when it was white.

Not true.

From your lodestone history, you joined on the 6th of October, 2011. Patch 1.19 went live on the 5th of October, 2011, and it was the patch that made Dalamud start appearing red. From patch 1.19 onwards, it got closer and closer as well. I assure you, it was white before.

So it was, never really noticed it before
