      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.

      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)

      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.

    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.

    • @GrahamChapman
      @GrahamChapman 4 роки тому +5

      @@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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
