Tbh. I think this is basically what Yoshi P wishes they did with them in FF14 and when he got the call for FF16. He could finally make his dream a reality
This bahamut is very significant since this is the first one to use Zeta Flare, one of the strongest attacks in Final Fantasy. The only time we ever see a Zeta Flare in action was from a duck mind you guys
Some little things I noticed playing FFXVI, being a FFXIV player myself : - The victory fanfare you get when you clear fights is mostly male chorus while the FFXIV one is mostly female chorus. The female chorus in FFXIV felt more like a cry of hope for overcoming a great obstacle while the male chorus definitively feels like the conclusion of a rampage. - When Clive is being called to "Awaken, Child of Fate", this line in most FF games is usually one where some kind of heroic or hopeful music plays in the background as the chosen one(s) are intended to save the world. In this case, Ifrit is instead pictured as a destroyer and destined to end the world, making the "Child of Fate" line much darker. - Unlike most FF games, your goal is to destroy the crystals instead of saving them. Likewise, usually Crystals are pictured as providing power to the world whereas in this setting, they're actually power siphons slowly killing the world. - Ifrit vs Garuda and Clifrit vs Ifrit Shadowed, the controls are simple, sluggish and his attacks are brutish while later on, Ifrit controls more like Clive normally, albeit as a super powered version of himself, showing he's actually growing used to controlling his eikon. - Each time Ifrit uses Hellfire, it is a call back to another FF's own version of the ability / casting animation. - Clive fighting his shadow is reminiscent of FF4's Cecil and FFXIV's Dark Knight questline. Basically, Cecil has to fight his own dark self (his dark knight) to fully embrace his Paladinhood usually by letting the Dark Knight kill itself by abusing their Darkness abilities whereas FFXIV's Dark Knight is a matter of accepting your darkness as a part of yourself to keep it from going rampant, both of which are pictured as Clive enduring an onslaught of very powerful abilities that are very similar to those he uses as well as earning the Limit Break when he finally accepts he is Ifrit and stop projecting his pain. - Ifrit in most FF games is pictured as a rampaging beast which Clive is the first few times he turns into his Eikon form. It's also usually one of the first Eikon that the player sees and/or fight which you do at the very beginning of the game, controlling Phoenix as you fight off Ifrit. - The song during Garuda's fight has leitmotif of the one from FFXIV which is a nice touch. Most eikons have a leitmotif of a past FF game related to that Summon / Esper / Primal. - Titan Lost looks a lot like E4 Titan, albeit without the gears. - The comment that Clifrit says when he supposedly finally defeat Titan Lost ("And this game... is over!") is a call back to the intro where Hugo says something about the game being over in the meeting. - You fight Titan in 4 phases : his semi-prime form, his normal phase, his uber giant phase and the phase where you're in a free-falling brawl. - Titan being tough as shit, showing that yes, Titan is incredibly durable... doubly so because Hugo is utterly berserk with rage. - Bahamut using its different levels of -flare attacks, each one being exponentially more powerful than the last, showing that like in FFXIV, it very well could bring a calamity / end of the world event by itself. - Most depictions of the strongest Bahamut abilities in FF games have it fly into space to use it; whenever Bahamut in FFXVI uses a new tier of -flare attack, he happens to be flying higher than the last when he first uses it. - Zettaflare was a non-canon level of -flare ability that only appeared in Kingdom Hearts, used by Donald Duck (aka, the group's mage). It either means that Bahamut in most settings never had the opportunity to use Zettaflare or was never pushed far enough to do so as it was literally a world-ending level of power. That FFXVI's Bahamut uses it while going on a rampage could also mean that it is possible other Bahamuts could use Zettaflare it but never did since they knew it was an attack that could end the world if they did. - When Bahamut absorbs the crystal and Phoenix sets up the barrier and it gets broken almost instantly, a good call back to Louisoix (aka the Phoenix) shielding something or someone dear to him much in the same manner. - Ifrit and Phoenix being the two symbolic and opposing representations of what fire is usually seen in cultures : it is both a destroyer when it goes wild (Ifrit) but also a source of comfort and hope when controlled (Phoenix). So that Ifrit and Phoenix can fuse together makes sense as they are two parts of the same whole. - Clive doesn't seem to have a clear counterpart to a FFXIV job but an amalgam of their features, mostly centered around FFXIV Summoners. He can channel Eikons / Primals through himself but instead of calling them into combat and focusing entirely on ranged spells, he instead uses them through his own attacks. Likewise, each eikon seems to be flavored towards one or more FF job. - Odin being pictured as a very patient entity that usually doesn't go into excess; the Dominant of Odin spends most of the game in the background, seemingly waiting until everything falls in place and most early encounters end after he uses a single attack or single use of Zantetsuken. - Depictions of Odin in other FF games usually do not have the flashiness of other Eikons / Primals / Espers/ Summons; unlike those, encounters with Odin are usually a timed event which automatically leads to a loss if you take too long to fight him (or even reach him in some cases). This means that despite having Eikons like Titan or Bahamut having very destructive abilities, Odin's own is simply "I cut, you lose" which is simple and efficient which in a way is as terrifying or moreso than more outwardly destructive Eikons. - Zantetsuken splitting the sea and it remaining in place for a while is its ability to cut reality itself; the reason the sea remains split is that the natural laws of the world have effectively been split until it comes back; *the sea literally doesn't know it should collapse on itself*.
When you find out what happened after the fight, that moment with the flower unfurling in the Bahamut fight is such a beatuiful and sad moment upon rewatching it. The little details are amazing, I am going to enjoy rewatching the game and appreciating the storytelling moments.
@@debrucey im a bit late here but its the flower whos roots are used to make the poison that branded are tatooed with that will kill them if it leaks into the blood
Tbh. I've watched a lot of reviews at this point and it's like a lot of reviewers dropped the game before they got to post Cid when it opens up a lot more. Even someone like ACG, who I respect immensely, was saying things that just don't seem that true or that big of an issue when in context. However, I think he was being slightly purposefully more critical on the game because there are a lot of firsts for the series and he hopes to see the minor things actually improved on in a sequel or in DLC There are definite good critiques like the game taking longer to get into the meat of the game than even 10 or 13 did. There is a little too many, "this is just an intro to a system" moments, throughout the game that last a little too long
I saw a chatter ask "Why isn't Jill helping" Last time she used Shiva the curse got a good grip on her, so she is tryna lay off of it as much as possible. Keep in mind, Joshua and Clive against Bahamut are fighting *wayyyyyy* more fierce than Jill did against Liquid Flame. I can't wait for Ifrit and Shiva to pop off together though!!
This is actually average. Eikon fights are boring. Titan fight phase 3 actually infuriated me. After 2 phases of boring clicking I thought the fight's over, but they actually made me killing him 1 more time during the fall. That scene was so stupid....
I mean, it takes more than amazing boss fights and spectackles to get a high score. I personally think 7/10 would be fitting, as I found the normal gameplay loop very boring and unappealing and even the main story between the high points was very low. After Bahamut fight, the game took such a radical nosedive that I had trouble picking up the game again for couple of days as I was so bored of the sidequests, the way they handled the zones and the general atmosphere of bland piano rearrangements and lots and lots of pointless talking. Not to mention the way Barnabas as a character was handled... The story just lost me at that point. All the things I had been looking forward to weren't there; no RPG progression, no visiting the cool locations they advertised on the trailers (Oriflamme+Twinside) and I'm not talking about the ruined stage-dungeons we visit the cities as, the lack of reason to explore the zones (all you ever find are crafting materials you'll never use and potions). Etc., etc.
It just shows how jaded and selfish we’ve become when it comes to video games. If they showed this game 10 years ago, our minds would literally implode 😂
I love that Xeno talked shiiiiiiit about Bahamut before the figth and then this happends 1:11:26 🤣🤣🤣 There is no way in hell SE is doing a weak ass Bahamut EVER in any FF game! As soon as you see him you KNOW this fucker is no joke! 😅
im calling it now. the next kingdom hearts game is going to invent a new level of flare to one-up zettaflare that only donald can use without looking silly. "Quackflare"
I can see why the FFXIV content has been so stale lately as this game was being developed, perfected, and released. This game is fucking legendary. The Titan and Bahamut fight are EVERYTHING.
It’s a very long game and has alot of talking people won’t get far because of that and they are missing out wow are these some of the most epic fights I’ve very played though oh man
@@justexist841 it did the opposite for me lol I thought it was gonna be a big boring QTE sequence and while it was still mostly QTEs the music made it feel way more hyped up and got me invested.
Remember the ARR intro where Bahamut uses Teraflare and destroys the land of Eorzea ?? yeah.. now imagine if it 1 billion times stronger That is Zetaflare, in the canon of Final Fantasy which is the strongest spell that ever existed Sephiroth Supernova caused the sun to go well supernova destroying most of the plants but Zetaflare !!! it straight up annihilates a galaxy before 16 strongest Bahamut ultimate was Exaflares and only Donald from KH was ever known to use Zetaflare even in crisis core alone the Exaflare destroys the moon and use it as a base to charge up the Exaflare, but we never get to know the damage it does to the world because well the game will end if it destroys the world.
I always trying to pause to see the bahamut spear like wow the dev move from the original bahamut anthromorphic design with wyvern like design but this time it has somekind of spears. Also Donald no longer the only one that can use zettaflare. PS: is not like i don't like the 16 bahamut, i actually like it, unique design summon always makes me want to see it close hand
Bro when I saw Zettaflare, I had the same reaction. I was like WTF is a Zettaflare 😂😂, I’ve never seen this attack before. I was thinking about purposely losing the exchange just to see what happens
ALL of these fights had me grinning from ear to ear. Were some of them super hard no not really. but I cannot deny that they were FUN. Difficutly != fun. Challenge != fun. THis is a "fantasy" game and I definitely dreamt about doing this kind of stuff XD.
Square Enix: This new Final Fantasy is gonna have tone as Dark as Game of Thrones at its darkest The Final game: Time to play Bayonetta May Asura: Revengeance Wrath Fantasy XVI And its the best mainline FF since 10.
Insta skipped all tooltips so he never used a burst finish vs typhon, then skipped em again so he didnt know about lightspeed and just did the whole bahamut fight using ranged attacks. 😂 wtf
I must say I really appreciate this. I'm glad to see some good reactions from true fans who are playing the game proper. There are currently 2% of players in what I believe is 'endgame' right now and they would be loving it. If not I am confused lol. Just keeps on getting better and better 😍 Got high hopes still but I do have a bit of a con/flaw list so far. 😮💨😤 Keep up the good work strummer!! \m)(-.-)\m/ Love ya work ❤ Regards another strummer from down under.
Bro, who gives this game a 6/10, what the hell. It is not perfect but it is not at all a 6/10. AT LEAST, it is 8/10, lower than that I can not agree with. Yes, I have played it.
The Odin fight was more about Clive vs Barnabas and while it was lacking in sheer spectacle it made up for by being the best of the Dominant fights especially on the higher difficulties.
I was surprised to find out the music is not scripted at all. The timing for the zettaflare wings 1:37:54 and when he unleashes zettaflare 1:38:15 is phenomenal
I was wondering why they called Akh Morn 'Mortal Coil' here, but that's actually a decent, slight variation of the Eorzean translation of it: Fated Death.
For the mathematically uninclined: Mega = Millions (10^6) Giga = Billions (10^9) Tera = Trillions (10^12) Each level of flare, if you take the mathematical interpretation literally, is a thousand times stronger than the last. Except Zetaflare. Zeta = Sextillions (10^21) *Zetaflare is ONE BILLION times stronger than Teraflare*
i like how they Did Odin as damn powerfu and the Last Dominant king to defeat, as Odin lived a damn long life of immortality. Clive defeated him alone. But for Bahamut, as its a young Dominant holds it, requires both Clive and Joshua's power combined just to make him unconsious. The game just shows why Bahamut is the Dreadwrym King. Imagine Dion living for another hundreds of years, he would be unstoppable, even Clive probably wouldnt have the chance to stop him.
He does make a mistake when using brimstone. He releases it at the gold bar instead of the red. The red explosion does three damaging attacks and more stagger damage. Instead only doing two. Brimstone already makes you invincible while charging it up. Even if you’re hit it still will shield an attack and explode doing damage.
Keep in mind that Bahamut needed to absorb all that energy and took a bit of time to cast Zetta flare. Donald Duck can cast that shit on command and have it come out in seconds.
I like how I can feel some regret from the people not buying this game after hearing the godteir soundtracks and animations. Story for me was odd but that's also because ff16 was the first game I've seen of the series. The way Clive accepted ifrit in that fight kinda felt... dry? But then again maybe I'm missing a big part is his journey of acceptance from the last games so it isn't as impact full for me yet.
It is sad that this game did not get the game of the year award, not even a nomination for game of the year. Also sales are not good enough for what SE were hoping..... which means we may never have such an epic FF game like this ever again.
that bahamut fight was actually INSANE. WHO LET THESE DEVS COOK !!
one of the best fights in gaming history for me
@@d2solo agreed! I was in complete awe honestly

Isn't it the strongest attack? As least in terms of destructive power.
@@alonelyperson6031Yes lmao and Donald Duck can cast it which is insane
I'm happy we can now scale Bahamut to Donald fucking Duck.
@@ChrisBabaganoosh still magnitudes below Goofy but pretty strong yea
Yo, I literally out loud said "FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO CAN RIVAL DONALD IN POWER"
This is likely the STRONGEST Bahamut has ever been displayed in-universe. That boss fight was nuts
Its not even the craziest fight lol.
@@thew1ngman if it would have been ff15, this would have been the end of the game and the rest the never released dlc
Does Bahamut Fury from Crisis Core count lol because that cutscene is also insane.
This one is the first Bahamut that used Zettaflare.
@@canomeister4327 he is now at the same power level as Donald Duck.
Square enix is actually trying to give more love to Ifrit. They made him one of the story elements in FF15 and then the main protagonist in FF16
The OST during the Titan Lost fight suddenly became DMC, i love it.

This game deserves game of the year.

Bahamut was such an experience holy
going by square enix lore Bahamut and Donald Duck are the same strenght since both cast zettaflare
And Ifrit Risen is stronger than both of them, being able to tank zettaflare like it's no big deal.
Technically, Bahamut would still be strong since he technically survived casting it.
Donald passed out after using it bahamut kept going
When I saw the zettaflare I was like, WHAT IS DONALD DUCK DOING HERE!!!!
Oh shit this is actually a great idea thanks
All of these fights are one guy keeps coming in when their wrapping up the design saying, “Okay but what if-“ and the answer is always yes.
Remember the ARR intro where Bahamut uses Teraflare and destroys the land of Eorzea ??
yeah..
now imagine if it 1 billion times stronger
That is Zetaflare, in the canon of Final Fantasy which is the strongest spell that ever existed
Sephiroth Supernova caused the sun to go well supernova destroying most of the plants but Zetaflare !!! it straight up annihilates a galaxy
before 16 strongest Bahamut ultimate was Exaflares and only Donald from KH was ever known to use Zetaflare
even in crisis core alone the Exaflare destroys the moon and use it as a base to charge up the Exaflare, but we never get to know the damage it does to the world because well the game will end if it destroys the world.
The music during the Titan fight is beyond a level of epic
Gotta love all these devastating attacks that could kill anything in an instant and it just does a sliver of health to the bosses
I'm fairly certain that the Bahamut boss fight will break the PS5 console.
worth it

There are currently 2% of players in what I believe is 'endgame' right now and they would be loving it. If not I am confused lol.
Just keeps on getting better and better 😍 Got high hopes still but I do have a bit of a con/flaw list so far. 😮💨😤
Keep up the good work strummer!! \m)(-.-)\m/ Love ya work ❤
Regards another strummer from down under.
I finished it and im just mad with the ending
Ifrit a low level summon my @$$
Thats our friend who has been with us for like since ff3
That Bahamut fight was like watching a Gundam battle lmfao. Dude was spamming Akh Morns and Megaflares like they were no big deal
I love how when Xeno asked about things under Bahamut's wings, someone replied "Wingussy"
Bahamut fight is INSANE, OMG devs are crazy 😂
Bro, who gives this game a 6/10, what the hell. It is not perfect but it is not at all a 6/10. AT LEAST, it is 8/10, lower than that I can not agree with. Yes, I have played it.
The only fight I felt lacking was Odin's, the rest were just awesome
The Odin fight was more about Clive vs Barnabas and while it was lacking in sheer spectacle it made up for by being the best of the Dominant fights especially on the higher difficulties.
Xeno got the best Bahamut music timing from everyone that I've seen
I was surprised to find out the music is not scripted at all. The timing for the zettaflare wings 1:37:54 and when he unleashes zettaflare 1:38:15 is phenomenal
I was wondering why they called Akh Morn 'Mortal Coil' here, but that's actually a decent, slight variation of the Eorzean translation of it: Fated Death.
Odin fight was crazy too, not quite a mountain battle or space battle, but he left me on the brink of a game over, he was a hard fight.
i loved that fight, when he turns into his eikon form in the last phase the music synced up perfectly for me
went in the fight with no heals so I was pretty sweaty afterwards.
@@niksolu it literally gives you 2 high potions and 2 potions as you're walking into thr boss room
Can we also talk about the bad ass music!!!
strummer where part 3
The fact that this game only received one award and no nomination for goty is appalling
For the mathematically uninclined:
Mega = Millions (10^6)
Giga = Billions (10^9)
Tera = Trillions (10^12)
Each level of flare, if you take the mathematical interpretation literally, is a thousand times stronger than the last.
Except Zetaflare.
Zeta = Sextillions (10^21)
*Zetaflare is ONE BILLION times stronger than Teraflare*
Yeah, i don't think people really realize how big the scale is
i like how they Did Odin as damn powerfu and the Last Dominant king to defeat, as Odin lived a damn long life of immortality. Clive defeated him alone.
But for Bahamut, as its a young Dominant holds it, requires both Clive and Joshua's power combined just to make him unconsious. The game just shows why Bahamut is the Dreadwrym King. Imagine Dion living for another hundreds of years, he would be unstoppable, even Clive probably wouldnt have the chance to stop him.
Bro Barnabas was like 50 or 60 lol
@@nghtspawn651 if you paid attention during his fight, he says "first time I've felt excitement in generations"
1:24:52 The pure joy on Xemos face
He does make a mistake when using brimstone. He releases it at the gold bar instead of the red. The red explosion does three damaging attacks and more stagger damage. Instead only doing two. Brimstone already makes you invincible while charging it up. Even if you’re hit it still will shield an attack and explode doing damage.
Keep in mind that Bahamut needed to absorb all that energy and took a bit of time to cast Zetta flare. Donald Duck can cast that shit on command and have it come out in seconds.
Crazy to think Donald Duck could case a Zettaflare. Makes sense when you think about how much the Duck doesn’t heal you and stores up his MP.
ive noticed that a lot of the streamers didn't use his light speed much at all..if you press X you would isntantly teleported right to him lol
Thank you
i hope yoshi puts all of them into raids in ffxiv!
My hope is during the “What is a Zettaflare” someone in chat responded with “Ask Donald Duck”
The Bahamut fight is the best boss in gaming history. It surpassed Isshin Sword Saint IMO.
I love that we straight up Flames of Truth Bahamut.
*Odin* deserved much more!!!
Wasted opportunity to give us a battle like Titan or Bahamut
I was a huge fan of the Odin fight personally!
that moment when you realise the young clive is actually WOL from FFXIV
The amount of times I saw this dude fail to read what his abilities are is extremely upsetting
The fact Ifrit Risen can tank the strongest attack in the FFverse is fucking insane lmao
Also a Bahamut with access to Zetaflare holy hell~
Not in the multiverse no kefkas the end attack destroys the whole galaxy canonically I believe but is reversed in the end
Bhunivelze has ultranova
I love the Typhon boss fight, makes me wish you could use his abilities in game, but sadly no. Oh well, this game is amazing regardless
32:42 NOTタイフーン The correct answer is テュポーン
Chat looked really cute with their tiny violins uwu
I like how I can feel some regret from the people not buying this game after hearing the godteir soundtracks and animations. Story for me was odd but that's also because ff16 was the first game I've seen of the series. The way Clive accepted ifrit in that fight kinda felt... dry? But then again maybe I'm missing a big part is his journey of acceptance from the last games so it isn't as impact full for me yet.
Bahamut be like:
NOT EVEN MY FINAL FORM
the Final Fantasy Legend
Not gunna lie, at some point the Eikon battles felt like playing Asuras Wrath XD
This is game of the century to me hands down the point game that makes feel some type of way after each eikon battle f...... 👏🏽
I love how they respected bahamut, they needed to go 2v1 to make it a fair fight and again, it wasn't easy for our favorites brothers
If you focus only on the story this game was really good and these fights holy shit
The bahamut fight is worth the 120 alone, the game as a whole is worth goty
Choke slamming the god of wind from the stratosphere was not on my ff16 bingo card
how da fuk do they make 17 now, like where do you go from here?
FF16 Bahamut and KH3 Donald Duck should have an epic battle over which Zettaflare is the strongest.
Oh! That's eikon-duo is like fron Naruto when Sasuke and Naruto has united Susano an Kubi power!
Titan had me fucked up.
wheres part 3
Imagine a naruto game with his quest to fight all tailed beasts like this. That would be epic
Who else needed a long break after the Bahamut boss fight? 😂
I had to go for a walk and get some air just to process what I had just seen.
Honestly that was me with every boss fight they were all so amazing and overwhelming in a good way
This man seriously never used thr blink ability...advice to the kids...READ!
6/10 game btw 🤣 (This dev team is absolutely based.)
Thats why Eurogamer gave it a 6/10. Its too based for them
Ign said otherwise you knob
Hm, barely an 8 imo
Loved all of strummers reactions. Just sad he never used Lightspeed to react to that.
Bro doesn’t understand how the charged eikon attacks work😭
J'ai adoré ce ff16 ❤️❤️
Arrgghhh. USE LIGHTSPEED when closing in for Bahamut. Don't just fly!!!
Bahamut gets Louisoix’ed… again
It is sad that this game did not get the game of the year award, not even a nomination for game of the year.
Also sales are not good enough for what SE were hoping..... which means we may never have such an epic FF game like this ever again.
Its ps5 exclusive 2hat did they expect
