Ending, plot discussion. Warning: Spoilers

[Davy]

I was thinking the same thing. Did the GC company leaders make it? Did Cid make it?

I never seen those walker things in game. Did you see the WAR bust out SC! I was like weee!!!!

This has to be by far the greatest CG in FF ever. After 2 long years and the ups and down. I have to say I am pumped for 2.0

The ending made me sad to see Lou (I was born under him) die, and seeing him smile at the end gave me goose bumps.

how come the prison at the end looked alot like dalamud did?

This is all me, but I took it as that the ones to cage Bahamut in the first place were the 12. I'm not sure why were they unable to do it again if that was the case though.

The Empire has been destroying primals for years - returning aether that they would have been consuming back into the system, which was then routed and fed to Dalamud by Van Darnus.

We've been feeding the thing aether this entire time, it's not surprising whatever was in it would be pretty powerful by the time we got to this point - I'd figured it was Odin. Feels stupid now - Van Darnus USED MEGAFLARE. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. #blindasabat

Crystal Tower however has been under Mor Dhona the entire time - it's the tomb of the Allag emperor.

That's what Dalamud is. Apparently Bahamut was sealed away before in the same fashion, but this time it didn't work.

I'd venture to guess that each era sees a weakening of Dalamud's prison seal, but he just got sealed away again each time.

So obviously Bahamut has the destructive power to destroy the planet. Is he just gonna be perched up somewhere waiting for us five years later?

At the end when he ported us the symbol of Althyk flashed for a moment, Im sure its because he is the god of space and time but Lou seems to have some sort of connection with the twelve as a whole and not just his patron Diety.

And I hope he didnt actually die, I would miss that old man.

Not sure if Dalamud was Bahamuts cage or if the dragon was Dalamud. But I def thought Bahamut when I saw it. That is after I got over the shock of seeing our cities go kaboom.

Beautiful cinematic, very well done. And now at least we know where the crystal tower comes from. I assume that its the piece of Dalamud that fell

[sorahu]

i dont think we were ported to the future but maybe it kinda reminds me a little bit of ff11 wings of the goddess exp maybe we went to the past?????

[Majidah]

Maybe the seal didn't work because the world's aether was drained by the avatars and the avatars were drained by dalamud?

Thus making the 12 weaker and Bahamut stronger?

I tend to agree with this. There seems to be a lot of curiosity of why the Twelve couldn't stop Bahamut. But perhaps this isn't the case. The Twelve were stronger than him in the past and are usually stronger, but with all the aether problems recently their power has waned and Dalamud and its inhabitant has grown.
