Bahamut is one of the most recognisable summons in the Final Fantasy franchise, having appeared in almost every Final Fantasy game ever made.

This has seen Bahamut appear as a Summon, an Esper, an Eidolon and an Eikon and he's had a major presence within games such as Final Fantasy XI and XIV. What's interesting though, is the common threads that tie Bahamut together, outside of him being a huge dragon that dominates the sky and uses Megaflare!

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.

I am actually interested in learning about the Elemental Trio, Ifrit, Shiva, and Ramuh

[finalphormphil]

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.

Bahamut: Tera flare
Donald: Goofy, hold my beer.

[Golbez]

These are awesome! I cant imagine how long it takes to compile and organize all the information. Great job!

[ace-trainer-aj]

My first instance with Bahamut was in X and he was super badass.

[frodobaggins]

Everyone loves Bahamut. It's so iconic.

[RVredacted]

Bahamut in Type0 was so damn badass and the fact that you get to control it is even more amazing!

[TrvisXXIII]

Always quality content on this channel

[glaive]

Bahamut from X is my personal favourite.

[Klee]

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.

[BadAssXerx]

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

[ekdavey]

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

[MarcusSanchez]

Bahamut is probably my favorite dragon from any piece of fantasy great video 👍

[BlackWinchester]

Need a separate video for a more comprehensive lore on FF14's bahamut!

[brockmckelvey]

This was great! I'd love more Summon videos.

One of my favorite concepts is all the "unique" Summons, or ones that appear in just 1 or 2 games.

[sebastianrivera]

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! :)

[TianaSidhe]

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.
