Yes. I only recently (a month or so ago) discovered you Job evolution videos and loved them. I immediately searched your channel for evolution videos for summons but was disappointed not to find one. I therefore (after watching your job evolution videos) searched youtube for some summon lore videos and while there were a couple of good ones, I was disappointed to find very little that were put together as well as your videos. When I saw this come up on my feed yesterday I got very excited. Keep up the good work. Could I request you steer away from doing Shiva or Ifrit early on as there are already tonnes of lore videos for those two specifically. My personal request would be to do Odin next please.
this just minor issue, but probably you should reviewed the subtitle, as the way you pronounced bahamut, the sub showed 'muhammad' instead quite few times. thanks.
BROnion Knight Funny that you bring that up. Turns out that Bahamut (the fish) is a creature of Middle Eastern origin. So I find the error oddly appropriate.
I find it funny that the DnD version of Bahamut is essentially the goodest boy there ever was and then there’s FF Bahamut and he’s just like: feeling good, might wipe out humanity later.
@@siffumetsu271 the original Bahamut was a benevolent soul as part of the first brood. The Bahamut that wants to kill us is just a primal summoned in his image.
To be fair. Bahamut in FFXIV (Final Fantasy 14) didn’t start off that way. He and his consort Tiamat raised their young in a far off land then he died and dark forces twisted his mind. (I’m still learning the lore but he was kind at the start)
@@Oiamh_TheWolf18 the Dalamund bahamut was a primal summoned by dragons. The Asians tricked them into it because the dragons thought it would revive him, not a twisted version that try to destroy the world.
Well, for starters, Ifrit is based on an Arabic djinn which is probably based on an Assyrian deity (I forget which). Shiva is probably based on a Persian female deity by the same name and/or a male Hindu deity of the same name that is depict in blue and prefers colder climates (probably a combination of both) and Ramuh is based on the Hindu deity Indra the king of gods and controls storms.
@@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716 ixion has no personality, even valefor is showcased more than ixion. Ramuh is shown more personality and is an actual character in ff9, plus he just looks so much more powerful.
Honestly, when it comes to Final Fantasy X, I used Bahamut more than any other Aeon. His ability to basically operate the same way as a regular character, due to the amount of spells he could learn, made him the best one imo.
Fun fact, in D&D Bahamut has always been Ice element and has 3 breath weapons: Cold Cone as his main one, a Gas Cone that stuns and turns the enemies into gaseous form and a Disintegration Beam, quite similar to Mega Flare but it's an instakill effect line that does half the regular breath dmg as non elemental if saved.
@@heitorpimenta6504 Very fitting, he is supposed to be the holiest of paladins but...a dragon too. Older editions had radiant dmg as holy which was reserved for turning undead and fire/light/sun mid to high level cleric spells against undead and fiends like devils, daemons and demons. It was pretty much unresistable but you also rolled higher dice when used against those types like going from 1d6 to 1d8 per lvl and 1d10 against undead. Against normal creatures it was just normal dice but unresistable.
5e version is cooler imo, he's a unique dragon (platinum) so having a unique breath (radiant) is much more fitting as he doesn't seem cold on any way. My favorite role was a dragonborn paladin, nothing more fitting than that
Final Fantasy Union wow, thank you so much for even acknowledging my comment. Thought the little thing I said wouldn’t mean much to you guys, but I’m super grateful and happy that you appreciated it! You guys are incredible content creators, that’s why I’m so shocked. Always look forward to the surprises from you all in my feed.
would be interresting to see more summons. My first instance with Bahamut was in FF7, I think all three versions are badass, my favorite was Bahamut Zero
If you're planning on covering more summons, I'd suggest the trio of Ramuh, Shiva, and Ifrit next, either individually or in tandem, with Shiva first because she's my favorite.
TianaSidhe Though Ramuh was occasionally swapped out for a different summon. Specifically Ixion and the Aztec Feathered Serpent whose name I can’t spell. Do those get merged into one video?
Ahh FFX Dark Bahamut...you got in my way for that final piece to obtain Tidus’s celestial weapon. Had to pay my boi Yojimbo most my gil so he could take you out in one swing. Thank you, Yojimbo.
Your "Evolution of" series is, IMO, the most interesting thing your channel does. I really loved your Red Mage, Black Mage, Dragoon etc. videos, too. It would be cool if you did a comparison video on Ninja and Thief, two closely related classes which are sometimes linked (FF1, 14) and sometimes separate
I love how these videos also show the evolution of the series. I honestly love them! Also i would like to see a Crystal Chronicles video in the near future. It can be on anything about them! :)
Very solid content as always :) I can't wait to see how Bahamut will be pictured in FFXVI. Considering the importance of summons in the trailer, you know he has to appear.
Did you listen to the last 30 seconds of the video? they asked that if you wanted to see that you should let them know in the comments so then they can see what the interest is
Am I remembering, or isn't the novel's events non-canon? Like- I know it's an alternate ending, but I forget whether or not they actually change stuff around to match it. If that's the case, Bahamut's character in the book may not exactly align to his character in the game.
Cool I was always wondering why the hell they interpreted bahamut as a dragon . Now explain why Shiva is a sexy ice queen instead epic party murder wrestler god. Regular Shiva was insane
I'm really looking forward to seeing what other videos in this same vein that you have planned to do. It's awesome that I've found a channel that loves all the little details & idiosyncrasies that flow throughout the series just like I do. Y'all are THE BEST source for all things Final Fantasy on RUclips, and I appreciate the level of detail and depth you go to on all of your videos. Keep up the awesome work!!!
Very nice video. I myself don't really play much FF, but I do like watching playthroughs of the games, and reading up on the lore. Heard of Bahamut quite a bit, but didn't really know too much about him, so thank you making this video, really helped me get a better understanding of the Dragon King's appearances.
I really appreciate that you take the time to meaningfully include XI in all your videos. It often seems like players separate it from the main series and talk of it as thought it were a spin-off rather than a fully envisioned entry all on its own.
Wow. We know Bahamut is strong af but pls no disrespect to classic dragons espcially from Tolkien's work. Lot of FF materials were directly and indirectly from Tolkien works.
@Mr. SaladSpork Smaug didn't really suck. He just unfortunately appeared in a kid's book. He was the iconic dragon. It just so happened that he ain't the strongest as he was just a fire drake IIRC. And yes, Glaurung would totally be a good match against Bahamut but I believe Ancalagon is a better match against Bahamut because of the wings.
@@TheBukoStudio Look, I like Tolkien's works for what they are as well, but you're holding him in WAY too high a regard if you feel that he and any of his creations are somehow above taking a shit on. Tolkien was annoyed at the fantasy kitchen sink that C.S. Lewis cobbled together in his Narnia series, but he _really_ wasn't in any kinda position to act in any at all way holier-than-thou considering his bastardisation of Scandinavian and Germanic folklore. Me, I'd personally fully compare what Tolkien did with his works to what Disney did to Hellenistic mythology with their Hercules flick, or what Marvel Comics did to Norse mythology. (Did you know that the OG classical Thor of Norse mythology had a badass beard and was a ginger, and NOT, in fact, some nazi's clean-shaven and towheaded aryan wet dream?) So as someone with a bit of an obsession with folklore and mythology, do you know what I say to your "pls no disrespect to classic dragons espcially from Tolkien's work"? I say "To hell with Tolkien and fuck all of the classic beings from all of his collective works." And it's not without reason that I say this: What he did to the portrayal of fair folk/elves, dark elves/dwarfs and _especially_ wights was actually an absolutely _horrid_ desecration of their mythological and folkloric roots, and he's caused harmful ripples that have _defined_ our portrayals of these beings for decades and can still be keenly seen and felt in almost all modern fantasy works, from D&D and FF to a thousand different anime and manga series.
Awesome video. Bahamut’s iterations in FFRK are some of the more interesting ones. In World of Final Fantasy, the name Bahamut is attributed to Brandelis and Tiababylo, themselves coming from a world of Bahamuts
Dude, your data research capacity is always admirably crazy good! And yes please do this evolution video fore at least the major/main summons that appeared on every title in FF franchise. In particular, I am curious about what makes Quezacoatl (or what I usually called Ramuh's blanket snake,) replace Ramuh in ONLY FF8, and never to be heard of anymore (or is it? sometimes your data proof me wrong... LOL.) Anyway thanks for the knowledge, and please keep up the great work.
Okay, so to know that Bahamut ZERO in FF7 was only surpassed by Knights of Round in strength makes me super happy because it was my fave of the Bahamut designs. Reasons? 1. Robot. Obviously. I'm a sucker for robots. 2. I just love when names involve Zero. That's one of my primary aliases, so it's perfect.
Bahamut also plays a significant role in the first season of Brave Exvius' story; serving as the penultimate summon one can learn up to that point in the game. Emphasis is also placed on his location as he has his own special island to explore and find him. There is even a quest to collect a bunch of rat tails.
I thought he had already done one. I'll have to double check. Edit: I'm not finding one. Yep. He definitely needs to do one. White Mage is my favorite.
I knew the name came from a fish from middle eastern mythology but I didn't know how that made the jump to being a dragon in FF lore. I had no idea the direct inspiration was from D&D. Very informative.
I remember my friend introducing me to final fantasy when I was young and the one thing that stuck with me was the bahamut summon that shot a beam from space. Badass
I know you guys maybe won't see this comment! But I feel so happy seeing some of my images and information used from FFWiki in this video for the Dimensions II and 4 Heroes of Light entries on your video! I feel really happy seeing that my contributions were used in some fashion to your videos! 😊
Man. Bahamut has always been the COOLEST reoccurring Final Fantasy character in my opinion. I grew up with VII and having three forms of the mighty Dragon was so strong! After playing dozens of Final Fantasy titles, it's save to say I always look forward to seeing Bahamut again.
Great video. Informative, well put together, and enjoyable to watch. Really hoping that you do other ones for all the main re-occurring summons like Ifrit and Shiva Also, for everyone in the comments requesting specific aeons/summons/espers/eidolons, unless the one you are asking for is in like, 10 out of the 15 main games, it's a pointless request "bruh, I love doomtrain, do him next!" HE IS IN ONE GAME! THERE IS NO EVOLUTION
Something I've noticed is that while cosmetically D&D's Bahamut hasn't changed much, his role in the official settings expanded over time. Originally he was just a god of good dragons, then he became the god of the pole star and a god of justice, then later he got a bit of a following with humans. And now in at least two of the official settings he's the primary Lawful Good god.
Very well done!! I really liked this new topic and the way you got into just how the game's versions of Bahamut have changed over time. Definitely would like to see more like this!
Really enjoyed the video! I've been creatively stagnant lately and I've been tryin to get the juices flowing by brainstorming how the mainline final fantasy games could work in a cohesive timeline and this really helps with that! I understand none of the games are actually connected but hey it's all in good fun
This was a fun and interesting watch. Being a huge fan of FF, it's nice to see all the bahamuts lined up and explored, especially since I'm an avid d&d player as well
I really love Bahamut, it´s my favorite summon, and only reason I played summoner class in XIV. Also can´t wait to see what role will Bahamut have in XVI story, considering it will focus on summons.
Great video as always. Absolutely cover more summons, it is very interesting! Another idea could be to cover different jobs/classes throughout the franchise and how they have changed.
FF16 Bahamut Uses Zettaflare Donald: finally the king has shed his scales, I can finally take a rest and give the mantle as the strongest being in the FF universe to Bahamut. a simple explanation, In FF14 a single Terraflare can destroy a whole civilization, Zettaflare is 1 billion times stronger than Terraflare
Well, FFXIV is slightly different. That game has elements and light/dark aspect (which are not elements). Most FF games have Bahamut be non-elemental, and in FFXIV if Demi-Bahamut is anything to go by Bahamut is the same. However, we also know that Bahamut is dark-aspected.
There is no better looking Bahamut than FFX, in fact most of the bests iterations of the summons come from X, and it also had the coolest new summon in Yojimbo.
Thanks for an in depth look at the most awesome summon EVER. If it's possible, I 'd love a history of Knights of the Round from FFVII. Thanks again. Love your work =)
It probably will be. Seeing as the names of the mothercrystals share the dragon theme you can assume that they all might come together to form Bahamut. Unless they wanna be different and use Midgardsormr which I would be equally fine with.
I still can't believe FF XII-2 picked, of all Bahamut variants to be a final boss, "Jet" Bahamut. Like, ahead of "Chaos" Bahamut...what makes a jet the ultimate version?
As a side mention I would have also put CyGames Bahamut in there as, 1 it’s obviously based on the FF Bahamut and 2 CyGames has many former Square employees.
I Enjoyed That Very Much... Thank You Both (or ALL if more were involved) For Making This Video!!! Bahamut From FFX Was My 1st Introduction To Power!!! Lol! And Watching The Vid Helped Me Learn More About That Lovable Behemoth!!! 🤗😆😊😌😎
Bahamut has always been my favorite summon in the series. Thanks for the video!! If you do another summon evolution video, I think Ifrit would be a great choice!
That recent collab of Granblue Fantasy and Final Fantasy XI really is a gift to the OG FF fans that stayed in GBF community. FFXI brought Shinryu as the antagonist of the collab. Seeing this brought hope for future collab with SQenix other main series since most of the ingame mechanics are mostly similar to FF franchise games. Like the job system and summons.
What's even more amazing is how bahamut went even beyond dungeons and dragons and final fantasy. You could even say became part of a company logo. "Rebirth and Destruction Here at my command Rebirth and Destruction Again and again."
My first encounter with this guy was in a demo for X-2 of all things that came with Playstation magazine. Boy was it dumbed down for how hard the actual boss battle was in the game. And the characters' reactions to a returned Aeon were awesome. Especially since we all knew, at the time anyway, he shouldn't have been there at all.
FFX-2 was my first FF and first ever real turn based (except for Pokémon) RPG game and when I got to Bahamut..I really thought that he was the final boss and that I had to die or something for the game to continue lmfao I was just that amazed by him. Did beat him tho, but had to return the game back to my sister’s friend and so didn’t complete the game when I was 10.
Great in depth look @ this Summon / Esper / Eidolon / Aeon, for me it will always be his iteration in Final Fantasy 4 where his Megaflare was 1 of the best attacks in the game! :)

Me, I'd personally fully compare what Tolkien did with his works to what Disney did to Hellenistic mythology with their Hercules flick, or what Marvel Comics did to Norse mythology. (Did you know that the OG classical Thor of Norse mythology had a badass beard and was a ginger, and NOT, in fact, some nazi's clean-shaven and towheaded aryan wet dream?) So as someone with a bit of an obsession with folklore and mythology, do you know what I say to your "pls no disrespect to classic dragons espcially from Tolkien's work"? I say "To hell with Tolkien and fuck all of the classic beings from all of his collective works." And it's not without reason that I say this: What he did to the portrayal of fair folk/elves, dark elves/dwarfs and _especially_ wights was actually an absolutely _horrid_ desecration of their mythological and folkloric roots, and he's caused harmful ripples that have _defined_ our portrayals of these beings for decades and can still be keenly seen and felt in almost all modern fantasy works, from D&D and FF to a thousand different anime and manga series.
Ancalagon the Black exists. All the dragon related arguments here are invalid.
bahamut in FF8 was always my favorite... his intro thru the clouds never fails to make me happy and excited...
Awesome video. Bahamut’s iterations in FFRK are some of the more interesting ones. In World of Final Fantasy, the name Bahamut is attributed to Brandelis and Tiababylo, themselves coming from a world of Bahamuts
The visuals of such 90s games are shinier and brighter than my future and current technology itself combined
Dude, your data research capacity is always admirably crazy good! And yes please do this evolution video fore at least the major/main summons that appeared on every title in FF franchise. In particular, I am curious about what makes Quezacoatl (or what I usually called Ramuh's blanket snake,) replace Ramuh in ONLY FF8, and never to be heard of anymore (or is it? sometimes your data proof me wrong... LOL.) Anyway thanks for the knowledge, and please keep up the great work.
Okay, so to know that Bahamut ZERO in FF7 was only surpassed by Knights of Round in strength makes me super happy because it was my fave of the Bahamut designs.
Reasons?
1. Robot. Obviously. I'm a sucker for robots.
2. I just love when names involve Zero. That's one of my primary aliases, so it's perfect.
Well in final fantasy 7 remake bahamut arisen is the strongest
I hope you do one of my favorite summon, Alexander, some day.
I loved it! I can't wait to see who ya do next!!!
Bahamut also plays a significant role in the first season of Brave Exvius' story; serving as the penultimate summon one can learn up to that point in the game. Emphasis is also placed on his location as he has his own special island to explore and find him. There is even a quest to collect a bunch of rat tails.
Please do evaluation of White mage. I’ve been waiting for like two years for it.
I thought he had already done one. I'll have to double check.
Edit: I'm not finding one. Yep. He definitely needs to do one. White Mage is my favorite.
I knew the name came from a fish from middle eastern mythology but I didn't know how that made the jump to being a dragon in FF lore. I had no idea the direct inspiration was from D&D. Very informative.
One of the best videos yet! Keep up the phenomenal work!!
Thanks Tanooki! We'll try our best :) ~Darryl
I remember my friend introducing me to final fantasy when I was young and the one thing that stuck with me was the bahamut summon that shot a beam from space. Badass
This is exactly what I needed to watch today
Yesssss! Do one on Ifrit next!
I know you guys maybe won't see this comment! But I feel so happy seeing some of my images and information used from FFWiki in this video for the Dimensions II and 4 Heroes of Light entries on your video! I feel really happy seeing that my contributions were used in some fashion to your videos! 😊
Who is your favorite summon in Final Fantasy?
Them: Bahamu--
Me: DOOM TRAAAAAIN!
Man. Bahamut has always been the COOLEST reoccurring Final Fantasy character in my opinion.
I grew up with VII and having three forms of the mighty Dragon was so strong!
After playing dozens of Final Fantasy titles, it's save to say I always look forward to seeing Bahamut again.
Great video. Informative, well put together, and enjoyable to watch. Really hoping that you do other ones for all the main re-occurring summons like Ifrit and Shiva
Also, for everyone in the comments requesting specific aeons/summons/espers/eidolons, unless the one you are asking for is in like, 10 out of the 15 main games, it's a pointless request
"bruh, I love doomtrain, do him next!" HE IS IN ONE GAME! THERE IS NO EVOLUTION
Amazing video. I've always thought Bahamut was one of the best of the summons throughout the FF realm. Thanks for casting light on him.
More like this please! Loved this breakdown.
Something I've noticed is that while cosmetically D&D's Bahamut hasn't changed much, his role in the official settings expanded over time. Originally he was just a god of good dragons, then he became the god of the pole star and a god of justice, then later he got a bit of a following with humans. And now in at least two of the official settings he's the primary Lawful Good god.
Very well done!! I really liked this new topic and the way you got into just how the game's versions of Bahamut have changed over time. Definitely would like to see more like this!
Really enjoyed the video! I've been creatively stagnant lately and I've been tryin to get the juices flowing by brainstorming how the mainline final fantasy games could work in a cohesive timeline and this really helps with that! I understand none of the games are actually connected but hey it's all in good fun
Bahamut in XVI is insane 🤯
Eikon Bahamut, love him in XVI but sadly isn’t the strongest iteration as that goes to Bahamut ZERO & Prime
@@Jumonjiidk i've never seen zero and prime use zettaflare
@@Fall-oo6mt never said they used it
@@Jumonji exactly
zettaflare is kind of the strongest attack bahamut has ever used
@@Fall-oo6mt Exa-Flare is actually the strongest attack from Bahamut Fury since he's top 5, Eikon Bahamut with Zetta-Flare is up there in the top 10
This was a fun and interesting watch. Being a huge fan of FF, it's nice to see all the bahamuts lined up and explored, especially since I'm an avid d&d player as well
Bahamut has always been and always will be my favorite aeon. Not just because he's the most powerful...he's just incredible.
I really love Bahamut, it´s my favorite summon, and only reason I played summoner class in XIV. Also can´t wait to see what role will Bahamut have in XVI story, considering it will focus on summons.
He is pretty dang cool in XVI 🙂
@@zoruasnivy Ah I can't wait to play ffxvi
Good stuff! Get to delving more. We'll be waiting for that quality content!
Bahamut EVEN GOT HIS OWN SPINOFF, Bahamut's Lagoon.
2 years later, we finally got a Bahamut canonically stronger than an angry duck mage.
Great video as always. Absolutely cover more summons, it is very interesting! Another idea could be to cover different jobs/classes throughout the franchise and how they have changed.
Great video! I love that you use the artwork from cards in MobiusFF, the only mobile game I'll always miss!
FF16 Bahamut
Uses Zettaflare
Donald: finally the king has shed his scales, I can finally take a rest and give the mantle as the strongest being in the FF universe to Bahamut.
a simple explanation, In FF14 a single Terraflare can destroy a whole civilization, Zettaflare is 1 billion times stronger than Terraflare
my fav summon and creature in final fantasy
Love the hymn of the faith in the background as well as the others, gotta love final fantasy !
I appreciate you so much 🙏🏻❤
Best Final Fantasy Channel 🙌
I've learned so much and I thought I knew everything Final Fantasy 😆🔮
You missed something super important about FFXIV Bahamut. He's the darkness summon rather than the usual un-aspected.
Well, FFXIV is slightly different. That game has elements and light/dark aspect (which are not elements). Most FF games have Bahamut be non-elemental, and in FFXIV if Demi-Bahamut is anything to go by Bahamut is the same. However, we also know that Bahamut is dark-aspected.
I'm 3 years late to the party on this video but I feel it was very excellently done and I enjoyed every minute of it thank you
We need updated version of this 😊
Amazing compilation, analysis, adn recap! Top notch historian work here my man.
There is no better looking Bahamut than FFX, in fact most of the bests iterations of the summons come from X, and it also had the coolest new summon in Yojimbo.
Hey! You did not talk about the World of Final Fantasy Bahamut, and why the main antagonist is a Bahamut.
I absolutely love this video, thank you. I was writing and wanted to put Bahamut in it and this helped me with that
Thanks for an in depth look at the most awesome summon EVER. If it's possible, I 'd love a history of Knights of the Round from FFVII. Thanks again. Love your work =)
I like to see Bahamut as a huge dragon again on FF16 not a huge knight in dragon armor.
Yeah if ain't broke don't fix it, dragons are badass in any medium or genre.
It probably will be. Seeing as the names of the mothercrystals share the dragon theme you can assume that they all might come together to form Bahamut. Unless they wanna be different and use Midgardsormr which I would be equally fine with.
Given that much of FFXVI’s team worked on FFXIV, it’s safe to assume that Bahamut will at least be a huge dragon in that game.
@@NN010 Yeah I figure as much.
I still can't believe FF XII-2 picked, of all Bahamut variants to be a final boss, "Jet" Bahamut. Like, ahead of "Chaos" Bahamut...what makes a jet the ultimate version?
As a side mention I would have also put CyGames Bahamut in there as, 1 it’s obviously based on the FF Bahamut and 2 CyGames has many former Square employees.
Outstanding video, Bahamut was always my favorite summon
I Enjoyed That Very Much...
Thank You Both (or ALL if more were involved) For Making This Video!!!
Bahamut From FFX Was My 1st Introduction To Power!!! Lol! And Watching The Vid Helped Me Learn More About That Lovable Behemoth!!! 🤗😆😊😌😎
This is a wonderful video and I'd love to see more dives into the evolution of other summons!
This was so well done, thanks
Love this video. Good job guys. Next I hope its either Leviathan or Ifrit
Bahamut in Granblue Fantasy is pretty cool too.
I think that’s the main picture in the thumbnail
REBIRTH AND DESTRUCTION
Bahamut has always been my favorite summon in the series. Thanks for the video!! If you do another summon evolution video, I think Ifrit would be a great choice!
That recent collab of Granblue Fantasy and Final Fantasy XI really is a gift to the OG FF fans that stayed in GBF community. FFXI brought Shinryu as the antagonist of the collab. Seeing this brought hope for future collab with SQenix other main series since most of the ingame mechanics are mostly similar to FF franchise games. Like the job system and summons.
What's even more amazing is how bahamut went even beyond dungeons and dragons and final fantasy. You could even say became part of a company logo.
"Rebirth and Destruction
Here at my command
Rebirth and Destruction
Again and again."
My first encounter with this guy was in a demo for X-2 of all things that came with Playstation magazine. Boy was it dumbed down for how hard the actual boss battle was in the game.
And the characters' reactions to a returned Aeon were awesome. Especially since we all knew, at the time anyway, he shouldn't have been there at all.
Ah Yess my favorite summon
FFX-2 was my first FF and first ever real turn based (except for Pokémon) RPG game and when I got to Bahamut..I really thought that he was the final boss and that I had to die or something for the game to continue lmfao I was just that amazed by him. Did beat him tho, but had to return the game back to my sister’s friend and so didn’t complete the game when I was 10.
I still wonder how so many people had X-2 as the first. Why?
Another great video! Love Bahamut in every game he's in, always used him the most in FF10 lol
Fun fact: Bahamut was actually a whale/fish (depending on translation) from Arabic legends that carries that land of the world on its back
Great in depth look @ this Summon / Esper / Eidolon / Aeon, for me it will always be his iteration in Final Fantasy 4 where his Megaflare was 1 of the best attacks in the game! :)
One of the best Evolution videos yet.
Pro tip for FF5 Bahamut - Megaflare can be reflected. Popped Carbuncle and everyone's favourite dragon wrecked his own face. Good times.
Very well done and I would really like to see other evolution videos similar to this one. Of particular interest would be Shiva and Ifrit.
