Bahamut: Foe? or Friend?

Well, see, it's like this...

Nah. I really hate his gut for what he did. And... he's ugly. Even I could hate sexy Garuda if she ever manage to do grand scale like that.

But it might be interesting to know if ppl interested with something out of the box. After all, there's some demand of PvP and same-sex marriage.

LOL its like this: Me: Hey genie wanna be my friend? Genie: *Smashes city* *spits* If you like to smash stuff, I'm the friend your looking!

Bahamut has rarely been a "friend" in the series honestly. In XI for example, he was a friend to the Kuluu due to their pact, otherwise..yeah pretty much every iteration he's a foe. While summons usually follow the order of their master bahamut has always been a wild card to that rule when there's actual story attached to them.

Is this just flamebait trolling? http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Bahamut

He's typically assisted the players in a roundabout way since the very beginning.

Pretty sure you guys probably did get the reference/simile, but for any who don't follow Disney: Bahamut is like Genie in Aladdin. If the wrong person gets hold of his lamp, he can be used for evil purposes. That isn't to say Bahamut is good or evil in his free nature, but to say that Bahamut at the time was arguably under some form of control by the Garlean Empire.

maybe he just usually makes his friends the Nanoha way ^~^

True this. Bahamut is then neither friend or foe, just works for whoever gots his materia lol.
