Asmongold BLOWN AWAY By Odin vs Bahamut in Final Fantasy 16

[@NeoDMC]

I love how the main question in FF16 is "Why would Gods need armies?", and the answer it gives is "Gods can't hold territory".

[@Miranox2]

It's not a very good answer when the gods can just eliminate the soldiers. The plausible explanation would be that gods need to save up their energy to fight other gods.

[@karlongkar]

@@Miranox2 wdym not good answer , you can't just make god do every shit on every little town or village. God send armies to deal with peasant.

Bahamut was shooting for the mountain but odin deflected it to their armies. They both knew if they continued it would be a disaster

[@redimp2028]

To explain what happened in the scene, the showoff between the Eikons are just for deterrence. Similar to how Nukes work in real world, Mutually assured destruction (MAD). Bahamut only appeared when the threat of Odin enters the battlefield. Odin, maybe could have just wipe out the entire battlefield, leaving only mostly his armies, but Bahamut appearing signals that if he did so, Bahamut could have easily return the favor. That's why most of their casualty seems like just collateral. They don't want show direct attack as the other monster could just easily do the same.

Odin has always had a kool edgy style to him in the games, but he generally did less damage the bahamut... and bahamut is a dragon so he kinda has a free win against most other summons. shiva was pretty good for generally being a sexy ice lady though?

It looked like they just goofed off a bit, but they pretty much made exchange of their strongest moves and reached stalemate.

If anyone was confused, my guess as to why Bahamut took to the field and only exchanged a few blows, is that if he hadnt, Odin would have eliminated their forces in a flash. Him going out there to face him served as a distraction to divert attention away from the army and to drain his mana. Making it a battle of attrition.

@@gg5151 except its a bad play in this case but you probably dont know. in FF lore odin is known as the single strongest summoning, so showing off bahamut while powerful to others is childsplay and likely the reason odins army felt cocky about attacking. its a candle to a bonfire, an rpg vs a nuke

[@popcultureenthusiast5587]

​@@thunderborn3231 In other final fantasys sure, but 16 appears to not give any eikon the strongest place, rather they are all powerful in their place of expertise, it is the dominant who uses their eikon effectively. Shiva vs titan, titan you would expect to be more tankier and outlasts Shiva was put into a stalemate weakening both dominants at the end of the fight

[@daosxion776]

It's crazy how massive bahamut's wings are compared to his main body.

[@eastbow6053]

like a bat, more realistic to be honest if a dragon that massive existed he would need wings like this

[@Neasel.]

Aye so. In the game we've heard that priming (turning into the Eikon) takes a ton of Aether. They can't hold it forever. We've also heard someone say, in regards to Titan at the time, that were the Eikon to take the field, there wouldn't be much left of their troops had they sent in some to aid the army. Eikons are a massive drain of power and will kill everyone around from their fighting. Bahamut only went out to stop Odin from decimating the troops. So they had a brief clash, and that's all that was needed. Just a quick "Go back or I will be there to stop you."

[@zokuva]

I was wondering why it only lasted for a minute but this explanation makes sense

they definitely CAN fight for much longer. But they both know if they clash seriously, their countries are both stripped of their army anyway so better not
