There's going to be alot of speculation for a long time on this. The Maze of Bahamut is being released in tiers over a year's time. I don't think they are seeing it as something you spam-fest like the 1.0 content, which I'm glad.

Amen to that.

Did you say you didnt know what killed Midgarsormir? The airship battle is what took him down, after he released his breath and punched a hole through that massive red airship, his body was coiled around its hull and he went down with it. Guess it couldn't unwrap itself in time to avoid being taken down by the airship at the same time, impact/massive landscape changing explosion is what did it in.

Well I had started to type something about that, of whether or not Bahamut is going to be portrayed as an actual Primal, or if he's something else, like a key figure npc that cant be used in the summoner acquisition/free company usage.

I personally think it'd be prety badass to select Bahamut as your SMN, have massive wings fold out from your back, lift you up off the ground a few feet while you start blasting mobs with the flurry of bolts he used in the trailer.

As for how we'd actually end up going up against him, I doubt we're going to actually fight Bahamut head to head, more likely he'll be in the same arena in some fashion, but we'll likely be doing something like triggering a series of traps or keys to try and imprision him again, or simply destroy him altogether.

My bigger question about Bahamut though, is what is he really here for. Is he just what he appears to be, God like Elder Primal, or is he more like a harbringer to something much worse than he? If Atomos is tied to the Void, I'm thinking Bahamut plays a crucial role in helping bring something really nasty, really old back into our world. Almost CoP'ish, since Bahamut acted as a sort of gate keeper for Sky.

They did say they're going to bring the Ascians back in and you've seen the succubi pictures I'm sure. They'll be incorporating more void/underworld themes in ARR. It can really go all sorts of different ways.

It's already been spoiled alittle bit the Producer Live letter, and in the video.

The large sword that hit the ground, I bet will be in the fight with Bahamut. If it is, we will need to pray to it to help defeat Bahamut. Why pray? The video shows them rising back up after Y'shtola, Thancred, Papalymo, and Yda prayed at the shrines.

It will mostly likely cause an anmesia effect on him with a gravity effect.

That's not the same keys, it's the twelve attempting to seal him. Y'shtola, Thanacred, Papalymo and Yda had to pray at the shrines for Louisoix to summon the twelve, the light rising from them was showing him that he could summon the twelve.

There's still a lot they could do, what if the keys contain monsters that drop items needed to weaken him, or we have to break them open to get something, of course there is the pray at them. SE could add them in so many ways.

I was what i was thinking! the keys summoned with prayers look nothing like the keys that fell from dalamud. they were like... impromptu artificial holy keys (I can't think of a better way to put it), but they were sort of a last minute type thing, which is probably why they failed. there is something about the ORIGINAL keys that's important
