Bahamut

Yes it is.

It's Bahamut.

Is it?

No, it's Bahamut, her eidolon.

Oh, I th- oh, I, I mis- okay, I misinterpreted it.

So, oh, that makes sense.

Mm-hmm.

So, uh, we get, w- we, we all get sucked out of the ship.

I mean, they could be primals.

Bahamut was a dragon that became a primal.

Bahamut is also not Norse, by the

way.

Yeah, that's also true.

that the one that's Indian? I

think it's Arabic.

Bahamut.

It's very simple.

You go through it, and that's the, the dungeon where you find Bahamut in Final Fantasy IV.

Okay.

And when you get to the bottom of it, the children who stand outside of Bahamut's chamber are like, "Are you here to help the Father? Please, you have to return Bahamut to us." And you go up there, and Golbez is like...

And Bahamut is petrified, and Golbez says, "What possibly could have petrified Bahamut?" And Fusoya says, "He's not just petrified.

Something has anchored him into another plane of being, body and soul."

Hmm.

Yeah.

Actually, I do want to blow up Cocoon, and I'll fight all of you.

But then she gets so mad that she gets her persona personed out, and it is Bahamut, which is a pretty awesome persona.

Yeah.

Bahamut is an awesome persona.

I do not like the way this one looks at all.

It looks like a

I guess.

I really did not care for this at all.

That's right.

[laughs] Yeah, Cecil gets beat up by Bahamut, who's being controlled by a mysterious girl who kind of looks like Rydia but isn't Rydia

Cecil, in fact, uh, misidentifies her at first.

He goes, "Rydia? Wait, no." And then they...

I think that, Crystal, summoning Bahamut is a pretty, uh...

Of all of the forced losses that you have during, uh, the After Years, because even just through the part that we've played, there's quite a lot of them

Oh, no

It is a greater frequency than Final Fantasy IX.

It was just gone, although they did have the shirt on display at least.

There's also a Bahamut version, but come on, who was buying that? They should have doubled down on the anima printing.

But the merch shop had everything from teacups, the stickers of the Spear and Albed scripts, to acrylic stands, to music boxes, to posters, to everything.

I picked up some Manju with the Yevon Aeon symbol on it because why not? When in doubt, get some food.

Some will have four if they are granted it by a feature.

For example, Bahamut has it that your weapons get the brutal one tag.

So essentially, when you're rolling your base damage, you reroll once.

If you already had brutal three, which means you roll threes or less, you could potentially have four on it.

Innate, as opposed to normal casting, is technically cheaper, but the rank that you cast it at is random, going from rank 1 to 6.

Okay.

On the other hand, the only kind of spells you can cast when you're in the avatar form, if you pick Bahamut, are innate spells.

If you cast a normal spell, you lose that form for the rest of the encounter.
