My theory is Shinryu

[Alerith]

Let me put this in a speculation type post:

If we assume Bahamut is a Primal or was at least feeding off his prison of Dalamud, what happened when we defeated Ifrit, Garuda and Nael van Darnus? Dalamud absorbed their power. What if the Primals act as a means of keeping Bahamut weak within Dalamud. Splinters of his power that keep him contained, and we freed just enough to give him the strength to resist?

He didn't break out of the seal because the Twelve were weaker.
He broke out of the seal because we made him stronger...

you know i said that about the thing in Mho Dona but people swore up and done that a cutscene or somthing confirmed it as the Midgar Zolom

The official website, under Mor Dhona description. Thats where they explain that the wyrm wrapped around that wrecked airship in Mor Dhona is Midgarsormr.

Yes its shinryu, and did you know you can also regen mp by sitting down?

Shinryu is a serpent look at FFXI bahamut and then look at shinryu in ffxi if it was really shinryu then he would look like he did in ffxi. Because SE is using pretty much all the mob models of ffxi into ffxiv.

I'll post the same thing here that i posted in the other shinryu thread...

Bahamut
Dalamud Those names are waaaay too similar to not be connected in some way...

Also, dont know if this has been said here yet, Darnus absorbs the power of dalamud, uses Megaflare.... comon guys...

If I recall well, bahamut has the power to pretty much whipe not the world completely but just as what he did in the trailer. Reminds me of Bahamut Zero from FF7, when he blasted the planet in his cutscene .__. Plus, the way they structure him in the video, clearly made it obvious it was seriously bahamut xD even all my friends behind me said it in surprise; was so hoping to see him before 2.0 > < PS, I learned and found that Bahamut is a child of the dragon god Io. He is also referred to as the God of Dragons or the Lord of the North Wind. (For those dungeon and dragon players, Bahamut has a long history and is involved in the religious belief of dragons being gods and what not.) <3 Dragons.
